Ukraine Says It Asked Turkey to Help Seek Zelenskiy-Putin Talks

Ukraine has asked Turkey to help arrange a summit meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a renewed effort to end the war, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in Kyiv.

“We have addressed the Turks directly. But if another capital — other than Moscow and Belarus — organizes such a meeting, we will attend,” Sybiha told reporters at a briefing Tuesday. “We are also advocating for a meeting now to inject new momentum into the Zelenskiy–Putin diplomatic track.”
