“The war must end. We must sit down at the negotiating table,” Zelensky was quoted as saying.
The talks should be “honest, objective, in the interests of the people,” he said in a video message on Tuesday night. Ukrainian and Russian delegations have held three rounds of peace talks in Belarus since last week, though the negotiations ended without a significant breakthrough.
On Thursday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is set to meet his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in Turkey.
