Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday in his nightly address that he is "waiting to see who will come from Russia" to the upcoming ceasefire talks in Turkey. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed restarting direct peace talks with Ukraine in the Turkish city that straddles Asia and Europe. And President Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenged the Kremlin leader to meet in Turkey in person. What will unfold remains unclear. The Kremlin has refused to confirm who's going to Turkey and whether it will include Putin. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said Zelenskyy will only sit down with the Russian leader. In the address, Zelenskyy noted that the Kremlin's silence on the matter is "unconvincing," but said "we also hear that President Trump is considering attending the meeting in Türkiye," which could "become the strongest argument" for Putin to show face at the talks. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy asserted that Ukraine is still being attacked by Russian ballistic missiles. "While the whole world awaits a simple "yes" from Putin in response to the offer of direct talks – he continues to strike Ukraine," he said. On Saturday, Zelenskyy hosted French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a show of unity. They issued a coordinated call for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine starting Monday. The plan has received backing from the European Union and U.S. President Donald Trump, who had promised during his campaign to swiftly end the war that is now in its fourth year. The leaders pledged tougher sanctions on Russia if Putin did not accept the proposal. In remarks to the media early Sunday, however, Putin effectively rejected the offer and proposed restarting direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul instead “without preconditions.” He did not specify whether he envisioned the talks to involve Zelenskyy and himself personally, or with lower-level officials. Zelenskyy responded by insisting on a ceasefire, saying he will travel to Turkey — and challenged Putin to do the same.
