Zelenskyy urges Putin to meet him "in person" in Turkey for ceasefire talks
ai generated text
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that he will be waiting for him in Turkey on Thursday. Zelensky emphasized the importance of a ceasefire as the first step towards ending the war.
We expect Moscow to agree to a ceasefire that allows real talks to take place. First the weapons must be silenced, then the discussions can begin.
We are preparing powerful and massive sanctions if he doesn't accept a ceasefire.
We still have 12 hours until the end of the day, and if the ceasefire is not in place by then, the European side will [set in motion] preparations for sanctions.
There can be no negotiations while weapons are speaking. There can be no dialogue if, at the same time, civilians are being bombed. A ceasefire is needed now, so that talks can begin. For peace.
We have just now... decided to support a ceasefire which will begin next Monday, without any preconditions.
Putin's answer to yet another ceasefire proposal: a swarm of 100 drones raining down on Ukraine overnight.
Putin is playing his usual game – wielding terror as leverage and stalling for time to avoid any real path to peace.
Top-level meetings are certainly not arranged this way, especially in such a complicated situation.
The Russian side continues to prepare for the negotiations.
Overall, we're determined to seriously look for ways to achieve a long-term peaceful settlement. That is all.
A new window of opportunity has opened with the recent contacts. We hope that this opportunity will not be wasted.
We discussed strong steps that can be taken, including sanctions against Russia's banking, central bank, and energy sectors, combined with new defense assistance packages for Ukraine.
