ZELENSKY CALLS FOR BIG-LEAGUE PEACE TALKS—WANTS NO DEALS BEHIND UKRAINE’S BACK
Zelensky is pushing for a high-level summit to end Russia’s war, with the U.S., EU, UK, and Russia all present.
Possible hosts: Turkey, the Vatican, or Switzerland.
After 2 calls with Trump—before and after Trump spoke to Putin—Zelensky insisted Ukraine must be included in any agreement.
Trump later said ceasefire talks will begin “immediately.”
Zelensky also urged harsher sanctions on Russia’s energy and banking sectors.
The EU is preparing new measures, and a long-delayed prisoner swap may soon move forward.
Although direct talks in Istanbul last week showed major gaps remain.
