Russian President Vladimir Putin has renewed his invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet in Moscow, promising security arrangements as diplomatic efforts continue to find a path toward ending the war.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov announced Tuesday that Putin reiterated the offer during a telephone conversation with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. According to Ushakov, the two European leaders told Putin that Zelenskyy was interested in holding direct talks with the Russian president.

“Our boss reiterated that if Zelenskyy truly wishes to hold direct negotiations, he should come to Moscow, where all necessary conditions, including those regarding his safety, will be provided for him,” Ushakov said, according to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency.

The conversation also addressed plans to resume trilateral negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Ushakov said the discussion lasted approximately 90 minutes and included questions and requests for clarification about the proposed talks.

Ushakov said the question of European representation in future negotiations had not yet been addressed and would be considered later. The participants agreed to speak again if necessary, he added.

The invitation does not establish that Zelenskyy has agreed to travel to Moscow, and no date for a meeting between the two presidents was announced. Russia has previously offered to host Zelenskyy, while Moscow has maintained that a leaders’ meeting should follow progress on the terms of a broader settlement.

The diplomatic outreach comes as the war, launched by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, continues and international officials seek renewed negotiations. Major disagreements remain over territorial control and security guarantees for Ukraine, issues that have complicated efforts to reach a lasting agreement.
