According to Reference News, on September 4, it cited TASS news from September 3 that Russian President Putin stated on September 3 that US President Donald Trump had asked him to meet with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

Putin said at the press conference following his visit to China: "Donald asked me, if possible, to have such a meeting with Zelenskyy." Putin said that if Zelenskyy is ready for the meeting, he would invite him to Moscow. Putin said, "I said, yes, this is possible. If Zelenskyy is prepared, let him come to Moscow."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sebryk said that Putin's invitation to Zelenskyy to visit Moscow was unacceptable.

Sebryk wrote on the social platform X that this proposal was "obviously unacceptable." He also said, "At least seven countries are willing to host the ceasefire meeting between Ukraine and Russia leaders, which are Austria, Vatican City, Switzerland, Turkey, and three Gulf countries. This is a serious proposal, and (Zelenskyy) is ready to hold such a meeting anytime."

According to Xinhua News Agency on September 4, French President Macron met with visiting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on September 3 at the Elysee Palace and stated that Europe is ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine after a peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia.

Putin and Trump Chat in the Car

According to TASS news on September 3, Russian President Putin revealed that he spoke with US President Trump in Alaska using "bad English."

Putin responded to reporters' questions about his conversation with Trump on the red carpet and during the car ride after arriving in Anchorage, Alaska. Putin explained, "We certainly spoke in English, but awkwardly, using only a few words I remember."

The Russian leader said, "At first, I said to him: 'I'm very glad to see you, dear neighbor (很高兴见到你，亲爱的邻居).'" This was just 30 seconds into the car ride, as they exchanged greetings.

Putin also joked about his press secretary Peskov at the press conference, calling him a lazy person.

Because journalists kept asking questions at the press conference, Peskov reminded Putin, "Vladimir Vladimirovich, this might take a long time." Putin replied, "No, we will end now."

The Russian president joked, "Lazy guy, doesn't want to work. Even standing aside, he still wants to be lazy."

According to China News Network, citing @Russia Today RT, on the early morning of September 4, Russian President Putin arrived in Vladivostok, a city in the Russian Far East, after completing his four-day visit to China. The plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum will be held in Vladivostok on September 5.

Putin shook hands with the people who greeted him after landing, then entered the car and left.

The 10th Eastern Economic Forum started in the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, the largest city in the Russian Far East. Representatives from over 70 countries and regions have confirmed their attendance at the forum.

Macron: Europe is Ready

To Provide Security Guarantees to Ukraine

On September 3 local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy arrived in Paris and met with French President Macron. Both issued a joint statement after the meeting.

According to the French presidential office, Zelenskyy arrived in France on that day to attend an online meeting on September 4 in Paris called the "Volunteer Alliance" to support Ukraine. The meeting will discuss providing security guarantees to Ukraine, and British Prime Minister Starmer will also go to Paris to co-host the meeting with Macron.

Macron announced at a brief press conference with Zelenskyy on September 3 that Europe is ready to "provide security guarantees to Ukraine and its people on the day when a peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia." He continued to pressure Russia, saying, "The issue now is to see Russia's sincerity." Macron said, "The safety of Ukraine and its people is also the safety of France and Europe."

Zelenskyy said that the unity of Europe would help increase pressure on Russia.

European Commission President von der Leyen recently mentioned in an interview with the Financial Times that a recent defense ministerial meeting of the "Volunteer Alliance" led by France and the UK discussed the necessity of establishing a multinational force and developed "quite specific plans." This force will be led by Europe, with up to tens of thousands of personnel, and the United States will provide support in command and control systems, intelligence, and surveillance.

Zelenskyy Visits Denmark

On September 3 local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy visited Denmark and held talks with Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen, and attended the summit of Nordic and Baltic state leaders and government heads to discuss how to further support Ukraine on the front lines and in negotiations.

After the talks, Zelenskyy and Frederiksen held a joint press conference. Zelenskyy stated at the press conference that he had reached agreements with Nordic countries and Baltic countries to strengthen Ukraine's air defense system. He said that Nordic countries and Baltic countries will provide additional air defense systems to Ukraine before winter arrives.

Regarding security guarantees, Zelenskyy said that he has already cooperated with partners within the framework of the "Willingness Alliance" on specific security guarantees at the bilateral level and has established the basis for security guarantees through bilateral agreements, particularly through the bilateral agreement with Denmark.

It is reported that the Danish government will operate a Ukrainian defense company in the country. The Danish Ministry of Defense is fully pushing for Ukrainian weapon manufacturers to enter Denmark. An internal document from the Danish Business Authority shows that a Ukrainian weapons manufacturer is applying for permission to produce weapon parts near the Skrydstrup Air Base in Denmark.

Regarding Denmark's plan to produce weapons for Ukraine in the country, Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladimir Balbin accused Denmark of "clearly not wanting" any progress in peace for Ukraine - instead, Denmark hopes "the conflict continues indefinitely."

Previously, Zelenskyy Said: Frontline Situation is Basically Under Control, the Situation in the Pokrovsk Direction is Severe

According to previous reports from CCTV News, on August 29 local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that Russian forces had gathered up to 100,000 troops in the Pokrovsk direction, preparing for an offensive operation.
