Kiev has rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin 's proposal that he meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Moscow.
Speaking to reporters in Beijing on Wednesday, Putin suggested that Zelensky could travel to the Russian capital to negotiate peace terms.
Hungary, Switzerland and Turkey are among the countries that have previously expressed their willingness to host such talks.
In a post on X, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga said that at least seven countries are prepared to host a possible Putin-Zelensky summit. “These are serious proposals and President Zelensky is ready for such a meeting at any time,” he wrote.
"However, Putin continues to mess with everyone by making unacceptable proposals," Sibiga wrote, calling for "increased pressure" on Russia.
Putin has said he is open to meeting with Zelensky at the "final stage" of negotiations. He reiterated on Wednesday that a summit will only take place if it is "properly prepared and yields positive results."
"Ultimately, if Zelensky is ready, he can travel to Moscow," he said.
