"Putin's proposal aims to restart direct, unconditional negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul, emphasizing the need to address the root causes of the ongoing conflict."
"European leaders have called for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, supported by President Trump, threatening sanctions on Russia if it fails to comply."
"Zelenskyy has expressed willingness for peace talks, contingent on a ceasefire, reflecting Ukraine's cautious approach towards Russia's latest negotiation proposal."
"The ongoing conflict, intensified by the full-scale invasion, has resulted in significant casualties and heightens tensions reminiscent of historical crises between Russia and the West."
In response to a call from European leaders for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul. This initiative seeks to address the fundamental issues of the three-year conflict without preconditions. During a meeting in Kyiv, leaders including Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, supported by U.S. President Trump, threatened sanctions against Russia if it does not engage. While Zelenskyy has indicated readiness for talks post-ceasefire, Ukraine has yet to respond to Putin's proposal, which aims to restore long-term peace and resolve the ongoing conflict that has seen significant casualties since February 2022.
