VLADIMIR Putin has claimed it is “impossible” to make a peace deal with Volodymyr Zelensky just days after inviting him to Moscow.
The despot also warned British and Nato peacekeeping troops sent to Ukraine that they will be seen as “legitimate targets”.

Putin has continued to order attacks on Ukraine including a blitz on the city of Druzhkivka overnight
Putin held a drab press conference at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok this morning as he continued to ramp up his rhetoric against the West.
His latest threats saw him say: “If any [Western] troops appear there, especially now during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.”
It comes less than 24 hours after Ukraine and their closest allies held a Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris to discuss the deployment of peacekeeping boots on the ground.
Twenty six countries confirmed their willingness to send troops to Ukraine if a permanent ceasefire can be agreed in order to maintain border security.
Reacting to this, a paranoid Vlad responded: “If decisions are reached that will lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any sense in their presence on the territory of Ukraine.
“That’s all. Because if these agreements are reached, let no one doubt that Russia will implement them in full.”
Moscow has previously violated peace treaties on multiple occasions.
Putin also with him in Moscow.
It marks the second time in just two days the tyrant has to Russia‘s capital.
Putin said: “The Ukrainian side wants this meeting and offers this meeting.
“I said: ‘I am ready, please come, we will definitely provide conditions for work and security’.”
He added that Zelensky’s safety would be “100 per cent” guaranteed.
“The best place for a meeting is the capital of the Russian Federation… Moscow,” Putin added.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov even blasted Zelensky for not accepting the offer as he said: “He was invited to Moscow to talk, not to capitulate.”
The Kremlin mind games continued as Putin went on to say that he doesn’t actually see much point in holding direct talks with Zelensky, according to the Tass state news agency.
The Russian President believes it is impossible to reach an agreement with Zelensky on any of the key issues.
The Russian and Ukrainian leaders have only met once before in person.
Both attended a summit in France in 2019, at which the pair famously did not shake hands.

Ukraine targeted the Ryazan oil refinery, 125 miles southeast of Moscow, overnight igniting it in flames
Within three years, Russia would launch the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945.
The latest threats from Moscow came as Putin staged massive new strikes on Ukraine with at least 157 drones and multiple missiles hitting ten locations.
Reports of chemical leaks from Russian strikes in Dnipro were denied but damage was suffered at an unidentified production facility.
An emergency official confirmed: “The enemy targeted an enterprise in the regional centre. Fires broke out.”
Ukraine bravely fired back as they landed major damage on Russia’s military and oil facilities.
An ammunition storage facility was hit in Putin-occupied Luhansk region.
And Ukrainian drones caused a huge explosion at a large Russian oil refinery in Ryazan, just 125 miles from the country’s capital city, which is critical for Moscow’s fuel supplies.
A has also been spotted on the wall behind Putin’s top war generals which many fear may reveal a chilling clue to Russia’s next bloody landgrab.
The map shockingly marks two extra chunks of Ukraine as Russian territory – more than ever seen before on Kremlin diagrams.
Kremlin maps had already claimed four regions of since 2022 – Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
But in a recorded military briefing from inside Moscow’s Ministry of Defence, the “border” has moved again – creeping even further into Ukraine.
The new map has the extra regions of Mykolaiv and Odesa as parts of Russia.
