Donald Trump says he has pushed back on requests from Vladimir Putin to hold potential peace talks in Moscow.
“One of the things that I talked to [Putin] about was, where would you want to meet? And he said, ideally in Moscow,” Trump said, adding that he rejected the idea as it “just doesn’t work”.
“But he’ll meet and Zelenskyy is going to meet and something’s going to happen,” says Trump. “It’s going to be positive.”
The US president adds that he hopes a meeting with the two sides will happen “soon”.
He then turns to Zelenskyy and asks: “Would you go to Moscow?”
“It’s difficult, there’s a lot of Ukrainian drones there,” Zelenskyy jokes, to laughter from those in the room.
When did he say this? Is this real?

Ooooh, thanks. I thought going to Moscow meant trying to invade it… But this makes more sense.
