Trump says that 'nothing' will happen in Ukraine until he meets Putin – Politico

“Nevertheless, we are considering sending someone on the right level to at least hear what these people have and whether he is able to decide at least. If you are willing to go a serious conversion, we may be able to deal with it.

After a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara, Zelenskyy said that he sent a delegation that was headed by the Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov to speak to the Russians and Americans in Istanbul. He said he agreed to Erdoğan and Trump.

However, the Ukraine leader will not participate after Putin cut the meeting. Instead, Zelenskyy will go to the European Community Summit in Tirana on Friday with Erdoğan.

“Our team will be there to discuss Weasfire tomorrow,” said Zelenskyy and added: “We will not recognize all the occupied areas as Russian.”

“We want [a] Demonstration of pressure on Russia, on Putin. Sanctions from Europe and the United States at least. “Zelenskyy added.

When negotiations take place, this will be the first official Ukraine-Russian discussions since a meeting in Istanbul in March 2022, which was blown up by the discovery of a massacre committed by Russian armed forces in the city of Bucha near Kyiv.
