“If Russian representatives in Istanbul cannot even agree to it, to the ceasefire, this is obviously necessary for the first step, it will be one hundred percent that Putin continues to undermine diplomatic efforts,” Zelensky said.
If this is not the case, the President said, then there should be a result in a ceasefire in Istanbul.
The President pointed out that Russia had sent almost the same people to Istanbul as in 2022.
“They demonstrate that Russia has not changed its basic approach. They make many statements, many threats, but they do not decide. They do everything to turn this meeting in Istanbul into a staged empty process, as in 2022,” Zelensky is convinced that the Russians are disrupting negotiations.
“So if the Russian delegation is really playing the theater and cannot achieve any results today, the world must respond. A strong reaction is required, including sanctions against the energy sector and banks of Russia. The pressure must continue until real progress is made. Ukraine is ready to take all realistic measures.
The President called on Putin “to give his delegations real powers” to “completely stop murder for a time sufficient to give diplomacy a real chance.”
As it was reported, for the first time in May 16, in Istanbul for the first time in Istanbul, direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine began.
Russia is known to have sent a low -level delegation led by Putin’s assistant Vladimir Medinsky.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that a peaceful settlement of Russia’s war against Ukraine could not happen without meeting him with the Kremlin ruler.
