Direct Talks Proposed
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15. This offer follows a recent appeal from European leaders for a 30-day truce to commence on Monday. Putin’s initiative aims to pave the way for peace discussions amid ongoing tensions.
This proposal highlights the urgency for dialogue between the two nations. The call for an unconditional truce comes as a crucial step towards de-escalating the conflict. Putin’s offer, if accepted, could lead to significant developments in the peace process.
