Zelenskyy Supports Turkish Proposal for Meeting with Trump, Putin, and Himself

Support for a Four-Leader Meeting

• 🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy stated his support for a proposal by Turkish President Erdogan to organize a meeting involving himself, U.S. President Trump, and Russian President Putin.
• 💡 Zelenskyy believes a ceasefire will not be achieved without such a high-level meeting.

Humanitarian and Prisoner Exchange

• 🤝 Ukraine has submitted a list of nearly 400 children to Russia for potential exchange.
• ⚠️ Russia's counter-proposal involved working on the exchange of only up to 10 children, which Zelenskyy views as a minimal and inadequate response.

• 🎯 He suggests that Russia only understands strong actions and that powerful sanctions are necessary to push them towards a ceasefire.

Call for U.S. Action

• 💰 Zelenskyy urges American partners to take strong steps by pushing a sanctions package through the Senate to compel Russia to end the conflict.
