"the Ukrainian leader also said he was willing to meet with Vladimir Putin,"
Ukraine has already done a deal with Germany and will get a $50 million loan for green technology until 2024 and Germany will set up a billion dollar fund to promote Ukraine's transition to green energy to compensate the loss of the gas transit fees.The contract for transiting Russian gas through Ukraine will be prolonged until 2034, if the Russian government agrees."
So, that's all Zelenskyy needs from Putin (plus a few extra sweeteners thrown is) and all the fuss is over. In fact its likely that all the threats are only about getting the Ukraine a good deal from Russia and not about war.
