After his address at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky told reporters he would meet with Putin when the Russian president is ready.
"The two presidents will certainly meet when they both are ready, when there is an agenda for their negotiations, when they understand what to discuss. This is when they will meet," Peskov said at a briefing.
The Ukrainian president's spokesman earlier said that Zelensky was ready to meet with Putin, but only if the issue of territories that Kiev considers occupied was raised at the negotiations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasised that Crimea cannot be discussed at the potential summit.
