Ukraine, Trump sends Rubio: Zelensky: “I will do everything possible to find Putin”

Volodymyr Zelensky repeated: he will be there on Thursday and wait for Vladimir Putin’s arrival for a face to face. He will do “anything possible” because the meeting occurs: he will wait for Ancara, where he will find Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but if Putin decides to perform in Istanbul, he will move with Erdogan to the city in Bosphorus. “If Putin doesn’t arrive and keep playing,” “it will be the definitive proof that he doesn’t want to finish the war,” said the Ukrainian President talking to journalists in Kiev. The idea of ​​direct interviews in Russia-Ukraine was offered over the weekend by Moscow, relating the advanced fire by European leaders in the 30-day fires proposal, under penalty penalty. But Zelensky had raised the mail asking for a meeting directly at the top with Putin. From Kremlin, there is still no confirmation of who will go: “When the president will consider, we will announce it,” said the Dmitry Peskov -Voice. But the pressure for a meeting between Zelensky and Putin is maintained for the stars. So much so that Donald Trump, after saying on Monday that he was thinking of going to the meeting as well, from Saudi Arabia, where he was received with great pomp by Mohammed Bin Salman announced that in Turkey, for conversations, there will be a delegation from the US, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “This week, probably on Thursday, will be made negotiations in Türkiye, which can lead to good results,” said the tycoon. According to press reports, the Russian delegation would be led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and would include Putin’s advisor to Foreign Policy Yury Ushakov.

But Kiev clarified him: Zelensky in Turkey does not intend to know any Russian employee other than Putin because he would only be equivalent to “drag” any interview in the peace process, said Ukrainian President Mykhailo Podilyak. At the same time, the struggle with the arm also remains in question if the ceased of the fire must precede the beginning of the interviews. Russia, in fact, rejected the unconditional 30 -day fire that had been requested by Ukraine and the leaders of Western Europe from Monday, when he launched more than 100 drones in the country. The threat of sanctions is still valid also reiterated the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “We are waiting for Putin to approve the proposal to stop the 30 -day fire and agree that if this week there will be no concrete progress, we will work together at European level to significantly link the fines,” he said. The Kremlin leader, in turn, called “idiots” those who impose sanctions “also his own damage.” “Of course we should keep in mind that they can do what they say publicly and we, of course, should at least reduce the negative consequences for us,” he said. Meanwhile, Ukraine said it was “ready for any negotiation format” with Moscow “, but there must first be a stop” repeated the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, stressing that negotiations are impossible while “the Ukrainian people are under attack 24 hours a day by Russian missiles and drones.”
