Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is afraid to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss terms for ending the war.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Fredrich Merz, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
Carney said Putin kept setting conditions and dragging things out because he was afraid of this meeting.
