Zelensky: I am ready to meet with Putin and Trump in Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey plans to facilitate a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine either in Ankara or Istanbul. Speaking to reporters, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his willingness to participate in such talks.

"I had a conversation with President Erdogan of Turkey. And indeed, he sent a signal, asking me how I would feel about a meeting of four leaders: himself, the President of the United States, Putin and me. I told him that I support a meeting at the level of leaders, because I have the impression that there will be no ceasefire without our meeting," Zelensky said during an online press conference attended by the Kyiv Independent newspaper.

The president's comments followed another round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul on June 2, where the sides agreed to a new prisoner of war (POW) exchange but failed to reach a ceasefire.

The talks, hosted by Turkish officials, follow the first round of negotiations on May 16. The initial meeting ended with an agreement on a larger exchange of prisoners of war, but without any tangible progress towards a peace agreement.

Meanwhile, the White House said on June 2 that US President Donald Trump is also open to an invitation from his Turkish counterpart to hold trilateral peace talks in Turkey with Russian and Ukrainian leaders./CNA
