Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 3, 2025, that he would be willing to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—but only if Zelenskyy travels to Moscow. Speaking in Beijing after a Victory Day parade, Putin stated he "never ruled out" such a meeting but questioned, "is there any point?" and insisted it be “well prepared” with concrete results. He stressed Ukraine must lift martial law, hold elections, and conduct a territorial referendum first. Ukraine’s foreign minister rejected Moscow as a venue, saying seven neutral countries have already offered locations. (PC: AFP)
