The decision now rests with Kiev and its Western backers, the Russian president has said
Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered Kiev the opportunity to restart direct negotiations in Istanbul, which it unilaterally walked away from in 2022, despite Ukraine’s failure to honor the Victory Day truce and previous de-escalation initiatives.
Addressing the press following a day of meetings with foreign heads of state visiting Moscow, President Vladimir Putin offered to restart negotiations that Kiev abandoned in 2022, shortly after the escalation of the current conflict.
“We offer Kiev the opportunity to resume the talks they abandoned — talks without preconditions, in the same place they previously took place, in Istanbul,” Putin said.
“Our offer is on the table,” the Russian leader added. “The choice is with Ukraine.”
Earlier, on Saturday, after a meeting with European leaders in Kiev, Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky demanded that Russia agree to a complete 30-day ceasefire with no preconditions before he would agree to resume direct talks with Moscow.
