Zelensky Considering Turkey as Venue for Negotiations with Russia: Politico

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, wishes to hold the next round of negotiations with Russia in Turkey. According to Politico, Zelensky plans to choose Turkey as the next platform for discussions with Russia.

The publication states that the Ukrainian president is exhibiting caution regarding further involvement from the United States and now hopes that Turkey will become the venue for the next round of negotiations.

The New York Times has reported that Zelensky is highly dissatisfied with the United States, as President Donald Trump supports the conditions set forth by Russia regarding the resolution of Ukraine's issues. According to the article, the head of the Kyiv administration has frequently criticized Washington in recent times, expressing frustration about perceived disrespect towards Ukraine and the decision to ease sanctions in the energy sector.

Since the beginning of the year, delegations from Russia and Ukraine, with the participation of the United States, have conducted three rounds of negotiations. The most recent meeting took place on February 17-18 in Geneva.
