Former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed openness to meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Turkey to promote a ceasefire amid the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Trump’s willingness to engage in these talks comes as Ukraine has demonstrated renewed strategic strength, notably through daring raids on Russian positions, which have led some observers to conclude that Ukraine holds significant leverage in the conflict.
