Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attended a “coalition willing” summit in Paris on September 4
Putin’s Invitation to Moscow
Zelensky said he is ready to discuss peace proposals with Vladimir Putin, but meeting in Moscow under Russia’s terms would be counterproductive. He suspected Putin might not want to meet in Ukraine’s proposed neutral territory, hence the Moscow invitation.
Patriotic Reactions in Ukraine
Ukrainian presidential aides expressed cautious support for Zelensky’s diplomatic approach, while hardline members urged immediate action to change Russia’s position.
International Partnerships
Among the 26 countries ready to contribute to a military peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and Poland are to play significant roles, though none will deploy troops directly.
