Ukraine FM Says Zelensky Willing to Discuss Territory With Putin

A shift from Ukraine's earlier refusal to discuss territory is the substance here, not the venue dispute. It signals Kyiv testing whether direct leader-level contact can unblock a process that lower-level talks have not. European capitals and Moscow will read it as a probe of both sides' seriousness. Whether the offer survives contact with Moscow's preconditions, and whether any third country emerges as an acceptable host, is the open question.
