Milan, May 13 (LaPresse) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking to journalists in Kyiv, reaffirmed his willingness to meet with Vladimir Putin in Turkey, specifying that he is ready to go to either Ankara or Istanbul. “In any case, we will do everything possible to make this meeting happen. If Putin is really ready to meet not just through the media, but in real life. And then, at the leadership level, we will do everything possible to agree on a ceasefire. Because it is with him that I must agree on a ceasefire. Because only he decides,” Zelensky stated, according to Unian.
Zelensky added that he had contacted Donald Trump to propose his participation in the negotiations in Turkey: “I don’t know the decision of the President of the United States, but in any case, if he confirms his participation, I think it would give further momentum to Putin’s attendance.”
