War Zelenskyy challenges Putin to meet him in Turkey ‘personally’

[K.I.T.T.]

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday challenged Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to meet him personally in Turkey on Thursday, the latest move in a weekend-long exchange of proposals from both sides on the next steps in the U.S.-led peace effort.

Zelenskyy said that he still hopes for a ceasefire with Russia starting Monday, and that he will “be waiting for Putin” in Turkey “personally” after U.S. President Donald Trump insisted Ukraine accept Russia’s latest offer — to hold direct talks in Turkey on Thursday. Ukraine, along with European allies, had demanded Russia accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire starting Monday before holding talks, but Moscow effectively rejected the proposal and called for direct negotiations instead.

It was not clear if Zelenskyy was conditioning his presence in Turkey on the Monday ceasefire holding, and there was no immediate comment from the Kremlin on whether Putin would go. In 2022, the war’s early months, Zelenskyy repeatedly called for a personal meeting with the Russian president but was rebuffed, and eventually enacted a decree declaring that holding negotiations with Putin had become impossible.

“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 (Turkey) on Thursday. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses,” Zelenskyy wrote on X on Sunday.

Neither was Putin. He's as big a fraud as Zelenskyy.

Diffrence being that the majority of Russians are happy with Putin being president. Where as the majority of Ukrainians want Zelensky gone and someone else in.

Russians want to negotiate immediately not at a set time. The 2022 documents still remain for Ukraine to accept. Actually in all reality this is basically what Russia has wanted since the beginning of this SMO. Ever prior to it stating he want to sit and hash out details. 🤷🏻‍♂️
But Zelinsky let himself be used and taken advantage of. There could have been ZERO deaths on both sides.

That is not true. The most significant difference is that the Russians have only one to vote for. Fuck Putin and all Trump lovers. Scum of the Earth.

Ignore the cocksucking goblin. You absolutely cannot trust that mental midget. The end of this war means the end of his dictatorship and he's proven to be an unhinged psychopath that will lie, cheat, murder and steal to keep his "power" in the giant concentration camp that is the shattered remnants of Ukraine...

Have you read those documents? Read this on them, in any event the Ukrainian parliament has to agree to them as well, it's not just Zelensky's call, most people don't realize this, research it.
Putin’s 2022 ‘peace proposal’ was a blueprint for the destruction of Ukraine

You're Right Putin wasn't voted in by the people. It was a total bullshit election. If you want to call it an election.

America is evil Af not much better but Putin is a true Satanic MF. As sonner he die and thes war he started ends as better it will get for everybody of us.

When youve got the upper hand the agreement usually is sided towards the bigger/stronger player. It calls for Ukraine to be neutral and sure … not build up a fighting force to repeat this game. Maybe things can change in the future with regards to these conditions but as for the immediate end to the conflict… i dont think this is unreasonable. Its been like this in every other agreement in the past following a war/smo. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Other wise its just a stall tactic. Geeez Ukraine could sign to it and still do the opposite a month later. It is just a piece of paper with ink on it after all.

The loss of 27 million people and destruction of an economy will do that. Large lands with a scattered population…. Ill bet that if every home was piped with nat gas … many would still choose wood and coal as a heating source. Those big pipelines were going to make Russia steone again but putin decided to blow them up to keep him and his people poor and knocked down 😅🫣

Shows over, Pootin won't come out of his bunker and go to Istanbul, and neither will Lizard Lazarov, as Russia media reports.

Unable to conquer Ukraine, Putin wanted Trump to gift wrap it for him. He is also trying fake negotiations to rebuild his depleted forces & escape sanctions that are rattling Russia's economy and his grip on power. It's time to finish him off and end the war.

Don't think that Putin is so self suicidal that he would travel Anywhere to meet Zele
