Kyiv, May 13 /Xinhua/ – As part of the peace settlement in Istanbul, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to meet only with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Interfax-Ukraine reports, citing Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, as saying on Tuesday.
He explained that a meeting at a lower level was pointless because even people with ministerial status could hardly discuss fundamental issues or make specific decisions.
On the night of May 11, V. Putin proposed that Ukraine resume direct peace talks between the two countries on May 15 in Istanbul. V. Zelensky called this initiative a “good sign” and called on the Russian leader to hold a personal meeting in Turkey. –0–
