Zelensky and European leaders have contacted Trump / Day

It has already been reported that the first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine have been held today in Istanbul for more than three years. Sources report that Russia has set unacceptable demands in the negotiations to break the negotiations.

Zelensky announced that measures to achieve peace have been discussed with Trump and European leaders. He pointed out that sanctions are important until Russia is ready to end the war.

« I was talking to US President Donald Trump with President Macron, Federal Chancellor Mercza, Prime Ministers Starmer and Tusk. We discussed a meeting in Istanbul, » Zelensky said on social networks.

He stressed: « Ukraine is ready to take as soon as possible to achieve true peace, and it is important that the world is in a strong position. »

« Our position: If the Russians give up a complete and unconditional ceasefire and murder, strict sanctions must be imposed. The pressure to Russia must remain as long as Russia is ready to end the war. Thank you to everyone in the world that helps, » Zelensky emphasized.

The leaders of five European countries today were in Tyran to attend a European political community (EPC) meeting.

German Chancellor Friedrich Mercs said they would continue to inform Trump about progress in the conversations on their side. He also said the group plans to re -make proposals in the coming days and weeks.

According to the information available to the DPA news agency, the leaders emphasized in a telephone conversation that it was important to keep pressure on Russia through sanctions.

« We are now closely coordinating and coordinating our response measures, and we will continue to do so, » British Prime Minister Kyr Starmer said after a conversation with Trump.

French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that it is unacceptable that Russia again ignores the European and US calling on a ceasefire.

« It is unacceptable that Moscow and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin have not responded to the American demands supported by Ukraine and Europeans for the second time, » Macron said after a conversation with the US president.

Mercs, Macron, Starmer and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, last Saturday on a visit to Kiev, along with Zelenski, were already calling Trump.
