Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dared Russia’s leader to meet with him Thursday, saying that “I don’t bite” as Vladimir Putin vowed to continue his deadly invasion of Ukraine and claimed his soldiers were acting “like real heroes.”
During a news conference in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, Zelensky repeatedly taunted Putin, even mocking the Russian president’s penchant for conducting meetings at the opposite ends of extremely long tables.
“Sit down with me to negotiate, just not at 30 meters,” Zelensky said.
“I don’t bite. What are you afraid of?”
Three days after launching the Feb. 24 invasion, Putin was photographed sitting yards away from two uniformed military advisers.
Images of a Feb. 7 meeting between him and French President Emmanuel Macron also showed them seated at the far ends of a long, oval table in an ornately decorated room in the Kremlin.
