Zelensky said he was ready to meet with Putin and Trump in Istanbul to discuss the terms of ending the war. The president noted that the meeting at the level of the technical groups, which should take place in Abu Dhabi, and the meeting of the leaders are "parallel processes". "Our technical groups will negotiate. However, we believe that the meeting of the leaders is a mandatory condition. The topics that can be discussed in the technical groups are clearly defined. Some of them, however, should be considered at the level of leaders," he said.
