Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side is ready for negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It can be accepted in Moscow and other Russian cities.
He stated this during a briefing.
In particular, Lavrov was asked why the Russian authorities do not enter into a dialogue with Zelensky, although he is “our pupil, a former Komsomol member, a pupil of Channel One.”
Lavrov replied that the Russian Federation was ready for negotiations with the Ukrainian leader, but they would only discuss improving bilateral relations.
“If Zelensky wants to discuss the normalization of relations with the Russian Federation, we are ready, let him come to Moscow, Sochi or St. Petersburg,” Lavrov said.
According to him, Moscow is ready to discuss de-escalation, “but not Donbass,” because this is an “internal Ukrainian issue.”https://www.unian.net/player/ItHsJijaLavrov invited Zelensky to Russia

Nothing to talk about Lavrov, so get back in your field with the rest of the old nags.
‘We are finished’ would seem more appropriate.
Zelensky should tell Lavrov, if you have anything to talk about, you come to Kyiv. I have more important things to do.
Yep, he should say let me know when you want to talk to me about going home after your illegal invasions. Until then, enjoy your sanctions and your crashing ruble RuSSki.
