US EditionUkraine's Zelenskyy insists on face-to-face talks with Putin in Istanbul
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he will wait this week in Turkey's capital for Russian President Vladimir Putin to hold face-to-face talks about the ongoing war.
- The talks arise amid more than three years of conflict and strong pressure from U.S. And European leaders, while Putin has not confirmed whether he will attend the discussions.
- Zelenskyy is scheduled to be in Ankara on Thursday to hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and both leaders will wait for Putin’s decision on whether to join the discussions, which may then be relocated to Istanbul if Putin agrees.
- Zelenskyy insisted that any meeting with Putin must happen face-to-face and warned that if Putin fails to show up and delays negotiations, it would clearly indicate he has no intention of ending the conflict. He also called on Western leaders to impose stricter sanctions on Russia should Putin choose not to participate.
- If Putin does not attend, the talks may stall, sanctions could intensify, and military analysts expect both sides to prepare for a spring-summer campaign on the battlefield.
