Zelensky says would use Nord Stream 2 situation to meet with Putin

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said he wants to use the situation around the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in order to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"I would have used such instrument [the Nord Stream 2 pipeline] to organize a meeting with the Russian President, where we could have made some progress in the implementation of the Minsk [Agreements], or to end the [Donbass] conflict. But that is his right. I’m not certain he will hear me," Zelensky said during a briefing in Brussels.

Zelensky also noted he advocates various formats of talks on settlement in Donbass, TASS reported.
