Volodymyr Zelenskyy agrees to assembly proposed by Vladimir Putin – if he attends in particular person.
A glimmer of hope to finish the greater than three-year warfare in Ukraine that has killed hundreds of civilians – and a whole lot of hundreds of troopers.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to attend a gathering proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Istanbul on Thursday, so long as Putin is there in particular person.
Putin desires the talks to first talk about the foundation causes of the battle and cope with ceasefire negotiations later.
His plan can be supported by US President Donald Trump, who says the assembly will assist Ukraine’s allies, the US and European powers, resolve whether or not a ceasefire is feasible – and in addition the way forward for the warfare effort in opposition to Russia’s invasion.
Is the Russian chief attempting to deflect rising Western strain to conform to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire or face “large sanctions”?
And are the talks hosted by Turkiye more likely to make any progress in any respect?
