Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pushed for a cease-fire with Russia to advance peace talks following years of war. At a briefing in Kyiv, he expressed readiness for a high-level meeting that could include leaders such as Turkish President Erdogan and former US President Trump, criticizing previous lower-level talks for lacking progress. Ukraine seeks an immediate cease-fire and the resolution of humanitarian issues, while accusing Russia of insincerity in negotiations. Meanwhile, Russia insists on territory recognition as part of any agreement, complicating the prospects for peace.
Zelenskyy accused the Kremlin of not being serious about negotiating a peace deal, saying it was a ploy to keep Washington from implementing new sanctions.
Zelenskyy proposed a cease-fire until leaders can meet, emphasizing readiness for such discussions at any moment.
