Ukraine will decide on its next steps regarding the negotiations in Istanbul after the Russian Federation reveals the composition of its delegation, states President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his evening address, APA reports citing RBC Ukraine.
Zelenskyy said that he held a series of meetings today with his team regarding the format of the negotiations in Türkiye. According to him, he is waiting to see the composition of the Russian delegation and will then determine what steps Ukraine should take.
"The signals from them in the media are still unconvincing. But we also hear that President Trump is considering the possibility of being in Türkiye. So this could become the strongest argument. A week can really change a lot, but it might not… Right now, everything is being decided," Zelenskyy said.
He once again emphasized that the cessation of hostilities currently depends on Russia.
"Ukraine is ready for any format of negotiations, and we are not afraid of meetings. Tomorrow — in Türkiye," the president stated.
