President Trump has offered to fly to Istanbul for direct talks between Ukraine and Russia, a move welcomed by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who insists that Russian President Putin should also attend in person. This invitation comes after Putin suggested negotiations without preconditions, following a rejected ceasefire proposal. Zelenskyy emphasizes the importance of a face-to-face meeting with Putin, as it would be their first since December 2019. The Kremlin has not confirmed Putin's attendance. Ukrainian officials remain committed to exploring peaceful resolutions, highlighting the significance of these potential discussions.
All of us in Ukraine would appreciate it if President Trump could be there with us at this meeting in Turkey. This is the right idea. We can change a lot, Zelenskyy said.
I supported President Trump's idea of a full and unconditional ceasefire long enough to provide the foundation for diplomacy. And we want it; we are ready to uphold silence on our end.
