Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov proposed the terms of negotiations between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by Russia's Internet on October 30. Lavrov said at a press conference held after the first day of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, that if Zelensky wanted to meet Putin, he could only come to Moscow. The minister added: “We will ensure that he is unharmed and will guarantee his safety, and as far as I understand it, Kyiv cannot provide such guarantees.” President Putin's assistant Ushakov previously mentioned that the Russian president has proposed to Zelensky to come to Moscow “a million times.” He said, “Our president has said it 1 million times, or 1.5 million times: if he really wants to negotiate, then come to Moscow, and this place will provide him with all the necessary conditions.”
