On May 12, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced a conversation with Turkish President Recep Taiip Erdogan about meeting with the Russian Federation next Thursday.
“He talked to President Erdogan. They discussed the key details of the meeting in Turkey, which can help in the end of the war. I am grateful for the support and readiness at the highest level to promote diplomacy. We see the need for ceasefire, ”Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
Zelensky also added that the partners needed to monitor the ceasefire. They and Erdogan agreed on further joint work for the sake of peace.
At the same time, the Directorate on Turkish Presidential Communications stated that Erdogan called “extremely important” the restoration of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
We will remind, during the visit to Kiev on May 10, the leaders of the “decisive” coalition made a demand for Russia from May 12 to go for an unconditional ceasefire for 30 days.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin made a address on May 11, in which he refused to stop the fire, and suggested negotiations in Turkey on May 15.
In response to Putin’s proposal, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed his readiness for negotiations, but stressed that the primary condition should be a complete and long cease ceasefire from the Russian Federation, starting on May 12.
Special Representative Trump Kit Kellogo responded to Putin’s refusal to stop the fire, saying that the United States was demanding to initially introduce a truce.
However, Donald Trump has strictly insisted that Ukraine would take part in negotiations with the Russian Federation, which Putin wants to spend on May 15 in Turkey. To at least understand what he offers.
Then Zelensky agreed to negotiate, but suddenly decided to go to Turkey himself and called on Putin to do the same.
