“We offer Russian ceasefire before meeting leaders. Meeting the choice of Russian – Istanbul, Vatican or Switzerland. We offer a meeting on Monday any day, ”Zelensky said during a briefing.
“Why the ceasefire before meeting? If there is no understanding, de -escalation, there is no desire to end, then the ceasefire will end the same day. If we see that we can continue the dialogue, then we will continue the ceasefire with American monitoring, ”he added.
If US President Donald Trump supports this idea, Ukraine will be grateful, Zelensky said.
“President Erdogan is sure, he will support, because during our conversation he said that he would like to meet for four – Erdogan, Trump, I and Putin. We are ready for such a meeting any day, ”the Ukrainian president said.
In negotiations in Istanbul, Ukraine suggested that the Russian side meet the leaders by the end of June. Also after the negotiations in Istanbul, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Kislytsa stated that the Russian Federation refuses to cease fire.
At the same time, Volodymyr Medinsky, the head of the Russian delegation at Istanbul, said that Russia had offered a ceasefire for two to three days in separate sections of the front.
As for the meeting, Medinsky stated that it is possible, but “it requires its meaningful processing with the release of the results, since the heads of state should not work out the details of the agreement, but to approve, that is, to make final decisions on the prepared and agreed projects.”
