Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he will travel to Turkey this week to seek a ceasefire deal with Russia. The Kremlin, meanwhile, says a Russian delegation will be in Istanbul for possible direct peace talks — though it’s not clear whether President Vladimir Putin will personally attend. Nor is it clear whether President Donald Trump will join the negotiations. Ahead of his trip to Turkey, Zelensky said he will only believe Russia is serious about ending its invasion of Ukraine if Putin joins face-to-face talks.

President Volodymyr Zelensky: “If they will not — if Putin will not come, or if ceasefire will not be supported by Russians, by Putin exactly, by him, so, it means only one thing, that Russia is not ready for any kind of negotiation.”

Meanwhile, Russia is continuing its deadly attacks on Ukraine. Kyiv says Russia used 100 drones in an overnight assault Monday, while on Tuesday Russian bombs killed three civilians in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region.
