Speaking at a press conference at the Ukrainian Embassy in Ankara following talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, Zelensky said Ukraine remained committed to dialogue but expressed doubts about Moscow's intentions.
Ukraine had framed Zelensky's demand for a face-to-face meeting with Putin as a test of Russia's true willingness to negotiate peace. Arriving in Turkey, he slammed the Russian delegation as "theatrical" and contrasted it to Ukraine's high-level group.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said he will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, but said both leaders are ready to fly to Istanbul if Russian President Vladimir Putin chooses to attend the talks there.
