Peace in Ukraine. Will negotiations resume?
Earlier, Ukraine, along with countries belonging to the so-called "coalition of the willing," called on Russia to completely and unconditionally cease military actions from Monday, 12th April.
The initiative was also supported by US President Donald Trump, with whom leaders spoke over the phone.
Then Vladimir Putin proposed negotiations. During a late-night address, the Russian leader proposed that Kyiv resume direct negotiations in Istanbul.
Putin said that, despite everything, they propose that the Kyiv authorities resume negotiations, which they interrupted at the end of 2022, without any preconditions. Then he announced that he expects a response to his proposal from the Kyiv authorities and their "patrons."
