Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday declined Russian President Vladimir Putin's suggestion he come to Moscow to negotiate a diplomatic settlement, addressing the proposal for the first time in an interview with ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz for "This Week."
"He can come to Kyiv," Zelenskyy said. "I can't go to Moscow when my country's under missiles, under attack, each day. I can't go to the capital of this terrorist."
Putin "understands this," he told Raddatz.
Zelenskyy and Raddatz toured and sat down at the site of an American-owned manufacturing plant in western Ukraine that was the recent target of a Russian missile attack.
Zelenskyy said repeatedly that Putin doesn't seek a meeting with him as he continues to prosecute the war in Ukraine.
