Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine

Zelensky says he is ready to meet Putin in Turkey

We are ready for this meeting in Turkey. I know President Erdogan has his own connections with Putin.

— Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's president

What he wants to discuss

  • A ceasefire along the front line
  • A way to monitor it
  • Security guarantees
  • Rebuilding Ukraine
  • Territory

Zelensky said talks between the two presidents could settle what delegations and technical groups have not, starting with a ceasefire along the front line.

He said he will not agree to hand over the Donbas or to recognize Crimea as Russian, because such concessions would go against Ukraine's constitution.
