JAKARTA - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said his party hopes Turkey is willing to consider holding a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with the possibility of being attended by US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"We have contacted Turkey to consider holding a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, with the possibility of President Erdogan and President Trump attending. We are ready for the meeting," Sybiha said in an interview with the Ukrinform news agency, Sunday, April 19, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
Previously, the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Menlu) of Turkey Hakan Fidan said that his party was ready to hold a meeting for negotiations on Ukraine, both at the technical level and at the highest level.
"In the contacts between our president and Mr. Putin and Zelenskyy, the honorable, Turkey's willingness to host talks, including at the highest level, has been conveyed. However, the situation here does not only depend on our desire, but also on the will of all parties involved," Fidan said in a press conference.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, on March 15, said talks on Ukraine had been suspended because the United States was focusing on other issues.
Peskov noted that Russia is waiting for the latest talks, although the time and location have not been determined.
Since the beginning of the year, Russian and Ukrainian delegations, with the participation of the United States, have held three talks. The last time, the talks took place in Geneva on February 17-18.
