Zelensky stated he knows nothing about meeting with the Russians and is only willing to meet with Putin.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he has no information regarding a meeting with Russian representatives at the Munich Security Conference.

Previously, U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of such negotiations.

During the discussion at the conference, the Ukrainian president indicated that he is open to meeting with Putin.

"I will meet with Putin, but only after we have a plan to end the war," Zelensky said. He emphasized that this plan must be coordinated with both the U.S. president and Ukraine's European allies.

The full quote from Zelensky is as follows (according to Interfax-Ukraine):

"I will not meet with the Russians. I don't know if they will like it or not... I will only meet with Putin. Only after we prepare a joint plan with Trump. And for Putin to end the war. Only in this case will I meet. There will be no other platforms for compromises."

Putin has not expressed a willingness to meet personally with Zelensky and has repeatedly questioned his legitimacy.

Zelensky also shared that Trump gave him his phone number and said he could call him "whenever you want."

Moreover, Zelensky doubts that the new American administration has already developed a peace plan for Ukraine.

The Ukrainian president arrived in Munich to participate in the 61st Security Conference, which began today. It opened amid discussions about possible negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

As reported, Zelensky spoke in Munich, stating that he "does not want to be the president who helped Putin occupy Ukraine." He also mentioned that he is currently not ready to sign a partnership memorandum with the U.S. regarding rare earth metals.
