Zelenskyy outlines expectations for talks in Istanbul

The Ukrainian delegation at the negotiations with the Russians in Istanbul will attempt to make progress toward peace.

This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address on Sunday, June 1.

"We discussed our expectations for the meeting in Istanbul on Monday. We continue to propose a full and unconditional ceasefire, along with all dignified and rational steps that could lead to a lasting and reliable peace," he said.

According to Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian proposal that was sent to the Russians is "logical and realistic."

At the same time, the Ukrainian President notes that the contents of the Russian "memorandum" remain unknown to anyone, as the Kremlin has not handed over the document.

"We don't have it, the Turkish side doesn't have it, and the American side doesn't have the Russian document either. Despite this, we will attempt to achieve at least some progress on the path toward peace," he said.
