Five Key Details From Zelesnky’s Address In Turkey

Five key details from President Zelensky, who addressed the media after meeting Turkish President Erdogan.

Here are the main points he made:

  • Zelensky confirmed he would be sending a high-level delegation, led by his defence minister, to Istanbul to hold talks with Russia and the US
  • Russia is sending a “low-level delegation”, Zelensky said, as he suggested that Russia was not treating the peace talks “seriously”
  • The timing of the meeting, however, remains unconfirmed – but Zelensky underlined that Ukraine remains “ready for direct negotiations”
  • He called for further pressure and more sanctions to be used on Russia
  • The Ukrainian president also pointed out that, although Putin proposed direct negotiations, he has not attended in-person. “He does not want a ceasefire,” he said
