Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that he would be ready to meet Russia President Vladimir Putin for conversations in Istanbul, Turkey’s capital, after US President Donald Trump, having told him to accept a dialogue offer with Russia immediately.
Zelensky, in an X publication, also stated that Ukraine expects a total ceasefire to begin on Monday to provide the necessary diplomatic basis for the end of the war.
“And I’ll be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday,” he said.
Earlier this Sunday, Trump published a post in which he made a new pressure for the meeting to happen.
In the publication, released on the social network Truth Social, Trump stated that “the president [Vladimir] Putin of Russia does not want a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, but a meeting on Thursday in Turkey to negotiate a possible end to the blood bath. ”Then the American leader wrote that” Ukraine should accept the proposal immediately. “
Trump’s pressure is opposed to that of Ukraine’s allied countries, which rejected Putin’s offer to keep direct conversations with Ukrainian authorities, stating that he must first accept the proposal for ceasefire-which is supported by the US.
