Hmmmmmm, zelensky is willing to discuss peace with putin, hope he won't give any territory up and that there are security guarantees from EU, NATO, etc if he has to make that tough choice

Zelenskyy has always been in favour of meeting Putin, he has been asking for it for years now, Putin is the one who kept ducking him, Putin is only meeting Zelenskyy now (soon TM) to keep stringing America along and make it seem like he wants peace, essentially what is happening right now is everyone (Ukraine, Russia, Europe) are stringing America along and hoping the other pisses off America first.

Zelenskyy has already shot down the idea of officially surrendering territory to Russia pretty firmly and publicly, Zelenskyy doesn't even have the power to unilaterally surrender Ukraine territory anyway, Ukraine isn't a dictatorship, if he tried to do that he would get thrown out of office so fast and his political career would be over, worst case scenario a military takeover.

I looked into this further and everybody is saying that zelensky realizes that this is just political theatre but that he also needs to do his part and show that he is trying to negotiate for peace.  I follow paul warburg and he had this to say on the matter if you'd like to take a gander at this
