"FIRST OF ALL, A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL CEASEFIRE"
Providing details about their stance in the meetings in Istanbul, Zelensky stated, "Firstly, a complete and unconditional ceasefire. Secondly, the release of prisoners.

RUSSIA HAD POINTED TO JUNE 2
Russia and Ukraine had their first face-to-face talks since 2022 on May 16 in Istanbul. Russia and Ukraine had agreed on a prisoner exchange of 1,000 each during the negotiations.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday, May 30, that results must be obtained from inter-delegation talks for high-level discussions regarding Ukraine, saying, "The Russian negotiation team is heading to Istanbul; they will be ready for the second round of negotiations on Monday morning."
Peskov, in response to a question about the possibility of a summit in Turkey between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and U.S. President Donald Trump, stated, "It is necessary to obtain results from the direct talks held by the delegations of the two countries before such a meeting. If results are obtained, we can certainly talk about high-level contacts."
Emphasizing that they hope to address the memorandums prepared by Russia and Ukraine in the second round of negotiations in Istanbul, Peskov said, "Right now, everyone is focused directly on the Russia-Ukraine negotiations. Work is ongoing to develop a list of conditions for a temporary ceasefire. However, the security of navigation in the Black Sea will somehow become part of future solutions."
