The issue of a possible Putin-Zelensky meeting was discussed several times during telephone conversations between the Russian and US leaders, Ushakov told Russian media.
"And during these conversations Trump, in particular, suggested that we consider this possibility," Ushakov told said.
Russia has never refused Putin's contacts with Zelensky, but they should be well prepared and focused on achieving concrete positive results, Ushakov said.
"Our President also said several times, talking to reporters, that if Zelensky is really ready for a meeting, then we invite him to Moscow. And at the same time, we will ensure his safety and the necessary working conditions," Ushakov concluded.
