03.09.2025The day Kyiv rejected Moscow talks
The day's narrative in Russian media began with President Putin's participation in Beijing's military parade, marking 80 years since victory over militarist Japan, and his diplomatic engagements, notably inviting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to Russia.
Concluding his China visit, Putin held a press conference where he positively assessed the trip and reiterated conditions for a Ukraine settlement, including recognition of "new territorial realities." A key development emerged as Putin extended an invitation for Zelensky to meet in Moscow, though expressing doubts about its efficacy in Zelensky's "current status."
Kyiv promptly rejected this offer, proposing alternative meeting locations. Meanwhile, US President Trump's earlier accusations of a Russia-China-North Korea "conspiracy" against the US were dismissed by the Kremlin, and his announced calls with Zelensky (and initially Putin) alongside warnings of future pressure against Russia also featured.
