His declaration came as it emerged further negotiations between Ukraine, Russia and the United States may now be delayed because of the crisis between America and Iran.

Zelensky said: “Of course, it is impossible for me to meet with Putin in Moscow.

“It is the same as meeting with Putin in Kyiv. I can also invite him to Kyiv - let him come. I will publicly invite him, of course, if he dares”

Zelensky added Ukraine wants to reach a constructive agreement on a real end to the war and hold a meeting that could be productive.

It comes as Russia hit Ukraine with 111 drones and a ballistic missile overnight, injuring three people.
