Donald Trump‘s threat to join discussions between Russia and Ukraine in Turkiye on Thursday was raised by the leader on Monday. Trump may travel to Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. He continued,” I believe you may have a positive outcome from the Russian and Ukrainian meetings on Thursday in Turkiye.” I was considering taking a plane over. On Thursday, I don’t know where I’m going to get. I’ve got but some discussions, but I was considering taking a flight it. There’s a chance of it, he said to reporters at the White House,” but we’ve got to get it done,” he said. Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, expressed desire that Russian President Putin won’t “evade the meet.” If President Trump were to attend this meeting in Turkiye,” all of us in Ukraine may understand it.” This is the correct decision. We can transform a lot, Zelensky said on X. He added that Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkiye,” can certainly host the highest-level meet.” The Russian air force reported Monday that Russia launched more than 100 Shahed and fake drones at Ukraine in night attacks after the Kremlin had successfully rejected a 30-day unconditional stalemate in the more than three-year conflict, but it also reiterated that it would participate in upcoming peace talks without conditions. However, Zelensky’s request for Putin to join him for face-to-face peace deals in Turkiye on Thursday was not directly addressed by the Kremlin. Dmitry Peskov, a spokeswoman for the Kremlin, said he would not disclose who might be traveling to Istanbul from the Russian area. Ultimately, we’re determined to look closely at potential long-term relaxing solutions. That is it, according to Peskov. ( This is a Reuters story )
