[Putin: Received Zelensky's message expressing willingness to meet, not opposed to talks in a third country] Reported by Golden Finance, on May 10, according to CCTV News, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a press conference on the evening of May 9 local time to answer related questions. Putin stated that the military equipment was not displayed during the Red Square parade, not entirely due to security reasons, but because soldiers should focus on completely defeating the enemy. He emphasized that these decisions were made well before Ukraine issued threats. Putin mentioned that before U.S. President Trump proposed the relevant initiative, Russia had already suggested to Ukraine the exchange of 500 detainees. However, Ukraine delayed multiple times, and Russia has yet to receive Ukraine's proposal regarding the exchange of detainees. Putin noted that Slovak Prime Minister Fico conveyed Ukrainian President Zelensky's message expressing willingness to meet. Putin stated that Russia is not opposed to the meeting; if there is willingness, Zelensky can come to Moscow. Russia is also not opposed to talks in a third country, as the discussions should aim at ultimately signing an agreement.
