Zelensky said he supported Trump’s call for direct talks between himself and Vladimir Putin, reiterating his readiness to meet the Russian president in Turkey on Thursday. Trump said earlier Monday that “I think you may have a good result out of the Thursday meeting in Turkey between Russia and Ukraine.” “I was thinking about actually flying over there,” he added. “There’s a possibility of it, I guess.” Trump, who is headed to the Middle East for the first major international trip of his second term, continued that he would go to Istanbul “if I thought it would be helpful.” (CNN)
