KYIV, Ukraine, Aug 21, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday accused Russia of avoiding the "necessity" of holding a meeting between the two countries' leaders despite US-led efforts to arrange such summit to try to end the war.

"Current signals from Russia are, to be honest, indecent. They're trying to avoid the necessity to meet. They don't want to end this war," Zelensky said in his evening address published on social media.
