Zelenskyy to Meet Putin in Turkey, Demands Ceasefire Starting Today

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Turkey on Thursday, May 15, to discuss ending the war.
The meeting follows a demand from Ukraine and European allies for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting Monday, which Russia effectively rejected in favor of direct talks.
Despite Russia resuming drone attacks shortly after a brief declared truce, Zelenskyy remains hopeful and insists that the ceasefire is a necessary step before negotiations.
European leaders warned of imposing extensive new sanctions if Russia failed to agree to a ceasefire, while President Trump called on Ukraine to promptly embrace Putin’s proposal for negotiations.
The planned talks in Turkey represent a cautious step amid continued skepticism about Russia’s willingness to end the conflict without Ukraine’s surrender, leaving outcomes uncertain.
