US President Donald Trump on Sunday called for Ukraine and Russia to meet for talks without delay. The development comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday proposed direct talks with Ukraine on May 15 in Istanbul.
“It was not Russia that broke off negotiations in 2022. It was Kyiv. Nevertheless, we are proposing that Kyiv resume direct negotiations without any preconditions. Despite everything, we offer the Kyiv authorities to resume negotiations already on Thursday, in Istanbul,” Putin said.
“Our proposal, as they say, is on the table; the decision is now up to the Ukrainian authorities and their curators, who are guided, it seems, by their personal political ambitions and not by the interests of their peoples. We are committed to serious negotiations with Ukraine. Their purpose is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict, to establish a long-term, lasting peace for the historical perspective,” he added.
