Why Don’t Zelensky and Putin Just Meet Face-to-Face to Resolve the Conflict?
A lot of people wonder why Zelenskyy and Putin haven’t sat down to talk. It seems like a meeting could solve many problems.
Zelenskyy has always said he is willing to have discussions. He even invited Putin to sit and talk things out. From his side, it looks like he is ready.
But Putin still refuses to meet with Zelenskyy in person. Even when talks start, he won’t sit face-to-face with him.
Why not? One reason could be that just talking about peace helps Putin. It makes him look like he wants peace even if nothing changes. This can buy him time and make it seem like he is trying.
There is also the way it would look. If Putin and Zelenskyy sat together, it would show them as equals. Putin might not want to give Zelenskyy that kind of respect.
The main reason might be Putin’s goals. If he wants control over Ukraine, real peace talks wouldn’t help him. To make deals, you have to be willing to share power, and Putin might not be ready for that.
That’s why the meeting doesn’t happen—Putin avoids it to protect his plans and his image.
