Zelensky says he is ready to find Putin in Türkiye on Thursday

“And I’ll be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday,” said Zelensky.

Possible first meeting

Leaders from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine defined the beginning of the ceasefire at a meeting in Kiev yesterday and threatened more sanctions to Russia. US President Donald Trump attended the meeting phone.

Hours later, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said the country would reflect on the request, as it was “new development.” According to Russian media report, Peskov also said that the country is not afraid of a possible sanction of the United Kingdom.

The new measures restrict operations of up to 100 oil tankers that the West claims to be part of a russian “parallel fleet”, older vessels operating outside western insurance systems. “We already know what we will do when the sanctions are announced and how we will minimize the effects,” he said.

Western sanctions against Russia were repeatedly reinforced from large -scale invasion to Ukraine in 2022 without ending war.
