⚡️ Zelensky reacts cautiously as Putin calls for Istanbul talks

President Zelensky has called Putin’s surprise proposal for direct talks in Istanbul a “positive sign” — but stressed that Ukraine still expects Russia to confirm a 30-day ceasefire starting Monday. His measured response contrasts with growing concern that Moscow is simply stalling.

Meanwhile, President Trump hailed the news on Truth Social, calling it “a potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine”. Trump’s next move could determine whether the talks lead to real peace or more delay.

Analysts warn Moscow could use negotiations to weaken Ukraine’s defense — while ramping up drone and missile strikes.
