Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Ukraine will attend a meeting in Istanbul on Monday, following a proposal from Russia.
Writing on Telegram after holding talks with senior officials, Zelenskyy confirmed the decision, stating, "I outlined Ukraine’s positions ahead of the meeting in Istanbul on Monday."
He added that Defence Minister Rustem Umerov will once again lead the Ukrainian delegation.
