Zelensky sends team for talks with Russians
Western Daily Press
|May 16, 2025
UKRAINE'S President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday said he is sending a team headed by his defence minister to Istanbul for the first direct peace talks with a Russian delegation since the early weeks of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Mr Zelensky made the move after Russia's President Vladimir Putin stayed away from a face-to-face meeting with him in Turkey that the Ukrainian leader had proposed in a flurry of diplomatic manoeuvres last weekend.
The Ukrainian president told a news conference in the Turkish capital, Ankara, that the Russian delegation does not include “anyone who actually makes decisions”, accusing Moscow of not taking efforts to end the war seriously.
However, he added that, to demonstrate to United States President Donald Trump that Ukraine is seeking an end to the conflict, he had decided to send officials from Ankara to Istanbul - almost 300 miles away - for their first direct talks since March 2022, following Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbour the previous month.
