Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet him, salting the proposal with sarcasm.

“I don't bite. What are you afraid of?” Zelenskyy said at a Thursday news conference.


Zelenskyy said it was sensible to have talks: “Any words are more important than shots.”
