KYIV. Feb 17 (Interfax) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin could unblock relations between their countries.
"At such a meeting the presidents need to find a way out," Zelensky said in an interview with the RBC Ukraine news agency.
"The meeting itself is a signal what the sides want. We met, we said what we think we should, we heard one another, and understood if there was any point for us to meet in half a year and continue the conversation," he said.
"The presidents can emerge from the meeting and say: nothing will work in the next five to ten years, such is the situation, not in our lifetime, during other generations, but for now we will try to bury the hatchet of war, so our countries can develop on different planets, even though we live on the same Earth," Zelensky said.
"For Ukraine this, too, is a good result because worst of all is to live in uncertainty," he said.
