Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Zelensky Offers Putin Talks At G7 Or In U.S.
Caption: Zelensky Offers Putin Talks At G7 Or In U.S. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has offered to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin either at the G7 summit in France or in the United States in an effort to end the war in Ukraine. Speaking in Kyiv, Zelensky said Ukraine had proposed a meeting involving U.S. President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and other Western leaders. He said European leaders and the United States supported the idea, but Russia had not given a clear response. Zelensky also revealed that he discussed the proposal during a recent phone call with Trump and suggested the United States as a possible venue for direct talks. The Ukrainian leader said any meeting hosted by the U.S. would make it more difficult for Putin to reject negotiations. His comments came after a major Russian attack on Kyiv and Kharkiv that killed at least 10 people and caused significant damage. Zelensky accused Putin of acting cynically by launching the strikes just hours after his conversation with Trump. He added that securing more air defence systems and increasing pressure on Russia would be key topics during meetings at the G7 summit.
