Zelensky confirms Turkey visit

Ukraine's President Zelensky confirmed plans to meet Turkish President Erdogan in Ankara on May 14 or 15, 2025, amid preparations for possible talks with Russia.
Russian President Putin proposed Russia-Ukraine talks with a 30-day ceasefire starting May 15, but Moscow has not confirmed his attendance or agreed to an unconditional truce.
These planned discussions mark the first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine since the initial stages of Russia’s invasion in early 2022 and are expected to cover issues related to territory, humanitarian concerns, and security.
Zelensky warned that Putin is not interested in ending the conflict, achieving a ceasefire, or engaging in talks, and called on the West to implement tough sanctions if Putin fails to participate.
European and U.S. Officials await the talks, threatening fresh sanctions if progress stalls, while Zelensky noted Trump’s possible participation could provide additional impetus for Putin to attend.
