Зеленський запропонував Путіну зустрітися в Туреччині
What happened
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with CNN Türk that he is ready to meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Turkey, according to UNIAN.
He said he hopes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will help organise the talks, and he told Ukrainska Pravda he would also agree to a three-way meeting with US President Donald Trump in Istanbul.
Zelensky argued that only leaders can settle issues that delegations and technical teams have failed to resolve, and said such a meeting is a necessary condition, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
He listed security guarantees, Ukraine's reconstruction and the territorial question as topics for the leaders, with the main aim being a full, unconditional ceasefire backed by a strong monitoring mechanism.
Zelensky said Ukraine will not give up its territory or recognise Russian control over occupied land, including Crimea, and wants a ceasefire along the current front line first.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov earlier repeated that Zelensky can come to Moscow for talks, adding that Putin has never avoided speaking with him by phone, UNIAN reported.
