The United States explained Zelensky's refusal of Putin's offer to meet in Moscow

The refusal of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky from the proposal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet in Moscow is connected with the position of European politicians. This was announced on September 6 by retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis.

"The problem is that there are those in Europe who indulge Zelensky, who is divorced from reality, which is why he most likely will not go to Moscow and, emphasizing his importance, will stay (in Ukraine. — Ed.)," he said on his YouTube channel.

According to the retired lieutenant colonel, the president of Ukraine is in a difficult situation and can only rely on his "Western patrons, who probably advised him to stay in Kiev."

He added that Europe and the United States cannot force Russia to do anything, so they have to act through Zelensky.

The language of delusion: will the US convince Ukraine to agree to a deal

If this attempt fails and Washington withdraws from the settlement, the EU will have to dramatically increase spending on supporting Kiev.

On September 3, Putin called on Zelensky to come to Moscow if he is ready for negotiations. The Russian leader clarified that he had never ruled out the possibility of a meeting with the Ukrainian president, but questioned the expediency of holding it.

On September 4, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga called unacceptable the Russian president's offer to the Ukrainian leader to come to Moscow for talks. According to him, at least seven countries are ready to host a meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and Russia to end the conflict, and Zelensky is ready for a meeting "at any moment" in the territories of other countries.

Later, on September 5, during the plenary session of the X Eastern Economic Forum (WEF), Putin promised to provide working conditions and security for the leader of the Kiev regime to meet in Moscow.
