Zelensky Urges Trump’s Attendance in Turkey
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited Trump to Istanbul for tomorrow, believing that his presence could encourage Putin to agree to a one-on-one meeting aimed at negotiating an end to the conflict.
Currently, Zelensky is accusing Putin of not wanting to end the war but remains committed to facilitating the high-level meeting tomorrow. “If President Trump confirms his attendance, I believe it will give Putin further incentive to participate,” Zelensky stated from Kyiv on Tuesday evening.
