On Saturday, Gelinsky French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Kair Stormer, German Chancellor Freedrich Mertz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, hosted the initiative and called for a 30 -day firing call from Monday.

The European Union and US President Donald Trump supported the action, promising to end the war that entered the fourth year.

Leaders have pledged to impose more serious restrictions on Russia if Putin does not accept the proposal.

In the media statements on Sunday morning, Putin has already rejected the exhibition and suggested that direct discussions with Ukraine in Istanbul should be reopened.

In conversations, Gelinsky, who had personally or lower level officers was not determined whether he had been Ined.

As his turn, Gelinsky insisted that he was going to Turkey, challenging Putin the same thing: “I will wait for Putin in Turkey on Thursday, and I hope that the Russians will not search for this time excuses for this time.”

Who will come? And why?

Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitry Pescov, refused to reveal the identity of Russia representing Russia in Istanbul, and insisted that Putin made it clear enough.

The Trump administration has begun special discussions with Russia and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia in March, but since then, the administration has suggested that if the administration does not have accurate progress.

Trump said on Monday that he was optimistic about his meeting with Gelinsky at the Oval office on February 28, which has caused controversy.

Trump said in Washington that he had the opportunity to hold a “good meeting” between Putin and Gelinsky, and said that he was “considering the journey” after a visit to Qatar and Emirates, but later Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and others from the United States would go to Tarkei for talks.

On Tuesday, Bodolak’s live broadcast on YouTube, leading Russian journalists, in exile, Ukrainian president Putin, except Ukrainian president Putin, said, “There are always people in the vicinity of” Gelinsky neighborhoods “, but he is always low.

He said: “There is no doubt that Putin is the only one who decides to continue or stop the war.”

If the Russian president chooses Istanbul to hold the meeting, he and Erdogan will travel there, Jellinsky said.

If Putin does not attend, European and American leaders should impose additional sanctions on Russia.

What happened in Istanbul’s discussions in 2022?

Kremlin described the talks on Thursday in 2022 as the “re -umption beginning” of peace talks in Istanbul, and quickly collapsed at the beginning of the war.

While Moscow blamed Ukraine and the West for continuing the struggle, Kiev Russia’s demands were the final warning and the two parties were not able to accept.

Gelinski said that Ukraine had identified Russian control over Danbas, which includes Donetsk and Logansk areas in East Ukraine in the demands of the Russian delegation; Constitution amendments to declare neutrality; And a significant reduction in the number of Ukrainian armed forces; Hand over long -term weapons.

He said in 2022: “Never had any discussions, which was the final warning from a killer.”

On the other hand, Putin said that Ukraine had mainly blocked the agreed peace agreement, confirmed Ukraine’s neutral and non -nuclear state and details about the amount of its army.

Putin said in 2023: “Kaive officials … left everything. I reject it.”

Kremlin has repeatedly stressed that “Istanbul meetings” are a basis for further peace talks.

Donetsk, Logansk, Khairson and Ukrainian Jaburizia in Moscow, in September 2022, have begun to insist on “reality on the field” in September 2022.

What are the two sides demands to end the war?

Last year, Ukraine demanded retirement of four areas, which still does not control it, and he wants to identify the Kiev Crimean Peninsula, which is illegally included in Moscow 2014, as a Russian land; Ukraine should also leave its efforts to join NATO (NATO) and significantly reduce its army, and the West has demanded that the sanctions imposed on Moscow after the attack.

Kiev, on the other hand, refuses to give up any land and seeks strong security guarantees against future Russian aggression.

Trump, who participated in a widespread diplomatic effort to end the war since he took office, said that Crimea was “with Russia”, Kiev had no chance of joining NATO.

What happens on the battlefield?

Preparing to launch a military campaign in warm weather on both sides, because the war that drains the lives of ten thousand soldiers from both sides has killed the line of confrontation, about 1,000 km (620 miles).

A research center in Washington said the Institute of War Studies, Russia, is working to quickly restore front lines units with new appointments to organize the initiative on the battlefield. “

Since 2024, the Russian forces have slowly, but in the front of many sectors have gained gains.

In March, the Russian forces said that the Russian troops were “speeding and maintaining the reins of strategic initiative along the seam, and Jellinsky warned that the Russian negotiations were postponed in preparation for big attacks.

Last month, the Moscow troops declared that the parts of the Russian Kursk region adjacent to Ukraine were completely recovered, and the Kiev troops seized in August 2024.

Kiev denies the allegation, but with the help of North Korean soldiers, with the help of North Korean soldiers, she is constantly losing the earth to expel them and leave Ukraine without a large discussion paper.

Several attempts to find a partial shooting stop.

Russia actually rejected the unconditional negotiation for 30 days; Instead, Kremlin has announced two small -seeded fire stops in the last two months -one of them is equal to Easter day and the other is 72 hours on Easter day and the other is similar to the Russian Vijaya Day celebrations in World War II.

In both cases, Kiev and Moscow have been accused of failing to stop the fight, and in March they have pledged to commit 30 -day stop to attack the fuel infrastructure, in which Trump administration has been intervening.

Both sides have again accused the two sides of serious violations until the end of the ceasefire.
