Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet him in the country's eastern Donbass region for talks on ending the conflict there.

"Mr Putin: I am ready to go even further and invite you to meet anywhere in the Ukrainian Donbass, where there is a war," Zelenskiy said in a video address released on the presidential website on Tuesday evening.
