The Ukrainian NV radio station, citing its sources, reports that the Ukrainian delegation, which will travel with President Volodymyr Zelensky to Turkey for negotiations with Russia, will include the head of his office Andriy Yermak, deputy head of the office Ihor Zhovkva, Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba.

On Wednesday, Zelensky’s advisor Mykhailo Podolyak admitted the possibility of conducting negotiations in Turkey that differ from those held at the highest level between Russia and Ukraine.
