Putin not against meeting Zelenskyy

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he is not against holding a meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy but conditions should be created to do that, TASS reported. 

"I have reiterated that I have nothing against that on the whole, it is possible," Putin told reporters, according to TASS. "However, certain conditions should be created to do that. Regrettably, there is still a long haul ahead for creation of such conditions," he added.

The Kremlin has repeatedly stressed the Russian side is ready for the meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy but a huge amount of preparatory activities should be completed for that.
