Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded cautiously to a surprise peace proposal from Vladimir Putin – saying he’s willing to talk, but only if Russia agrees to a ceasefire first. The offer came in a late-night televised address from the Kremlin, in which Putin suggested restarting negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul as early as Thursday.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed the idea in a phone call with Putin on Sunday, saying Türkiye was ready to host talks aimed at a permanent peace. But with no halt to the fighting yet in place, and fresh Russian drone attacks hitting Kiev on Sunday – Ukrainians remain deeply sceptical.
