🇺🇸📞🇺🇦🇷🇺🇹🇷 — US President Donald Trump, on Truth Social platform announces he supports Ukraine-Russia direct talks in Istanbul, Türkiye, calling on Ukrainian leader Zelensky to go there

President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH.

Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY.

At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!

I’m starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who’s too busy celebrating the Victory of World War ll, which could not have been won (not even close!) without the United States of America.

HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!

🇺🇦📞🇷🇺🇹🇷 — Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky says he is going to Istanbul, Türkiye, to meet with Putin personally

We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy.

There is no point in prolonging the killings.

And I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday.

Personally.

I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses.

🇺🇦📞🇷🇺🇹🇷 — Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky on Twitter/X:

Starting tomorrow, we await a ceasefire — this proposal is on the table.

A full and unconditional ceasefire, one that lasts long enough to provide a necessary foundation for diplomacy, could significantly bring peace closer.

Ukraine has long proposed this, our partners are proposing it, and the whole world is calling for it.

We await a clear response from Russia.

Russia will have to end this war anyway. The killings must stop.

Ukrainian forces will be ready to respond symmetrically— to ensure fairness.

We have repeatedly heard from our partners that they are prepared to strengthen sanctions against Russia if Putin rejects a ceasefire.
Time will tell.

Here in Ukraine, we have absolutely no problem engaging in negotiations, we are ready for any format.

I will be in Türkiye this Thursday, May 15, and I expect Putin to come to Türkiye as well.
Personally.
And I hope that this time, Putin won’t be looking for excuses as to why he “can’t” make it.

We are ready to talk, to end this war. Thursday. Türkiye.

President Trump has expressed support.
All the leaders support this.

"We expect a ceasefire from tomorrow – this proposal is on the table. A complete and unconditional ceasefire – long-term, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy – could bring peace much closer. Ukraine has been proposing it for a long time, partners are proposing it. The whole world is talking about it. We are waiting for a clear answer from Russia. Russia’s war will still have to be ended. The killings must end. Ukrainian forces will be ready to respond in a mirror way – to make it fair. We have repeatedly heard from partners that they are ready to strengthen sanctions against Russia if Putin refuses a ceasefire. We will see. And we in Ukraine have no problem holding negotiations – we are ready for any format. I will be in Turkey this Thursday, May 15th – and I am waiting for Putin in Turkey. Personally. And I hope that this time Putin will not look for reasons why he cannot do something. We are ready to talk to end the war. Thursday, Turkey."
