US EditionUkraine's Zelenskyy insists on face-to-face talks with Putin in Istanbul
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Istanbul this week for direct discussions about the ongoing conflict.
- The talks follow Ukraine and Western European leaders' demand for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, which Russia has effectively rejected while offering direct peace talks without preconditions.
- Amid heavy drone attacks from Russia and military buildup, Zelenskyy and his advisers insist that a ceasefire must precede negotiations, rejecting lower-level talks as delaying tactics.
- Zelenskyy stated that if Putin fails to attend and continues to stall, it clearly indicates he has no intention of ending the conflict, and he called on European and U.S. Leaders to implement sanctions if Putin does not participate in the talks.
- The outcome depends on Putin's decision to attend as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to confirm his presence or representatives at the Istanbul talks amid continued U.S. And European pressure.
