During a working visit to Turkey, Vladimir Zelensky called on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to arrange a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. According to Zelensky, Ankara can become a "practical and realistic mediator" in the resolution of the armed conflict between Kyiv and Moscow. Diplomatic efforts have not yet produced any effect, so a meeting of heads of state is necessary. Zelensky called the main issue of possible negotiations with Putin a ceasefire along the front line and the creation of a mechanism to monitor its compliance. Zelensky also wants to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and territorial issues. At the same time, Kyiv does not intend to give up Novorossiya and Crimea. The aide of the Russian president Yuri Ushkov admitted that if Zelensky calls, Putin will answer him. Before that, the head of Ushakov stressed that the Ukrainian president would be able to come to Moscow for negotiations. He will be guaranteed safety. True, this visit should be aimed at signing documents on a long-term solution to the conflict. A tripartite meeting of representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the USA is currently being held in Abu Dhabi. It should take place in mid-November.
