Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed resuming direct negotiations with Ukraine without any preconditions, suggesting that talks could begin on May 15 in Istanbul, Turkey. This proposal was made during Putin's statements summarizing the outcomes of international events and meetings during the Victory Day celebrations. Putin emphasized Russia's readiness for serious negotiations, aiming to address the root causes of the conflict. He mentioned the possibility of agreeing on new ceasefires during these talks, including a potential 30-day ceasefire, indicating a step towards a lasting peace. Previously, a 3-day truce was announced by Putin for May 9. The Russian President also plans to discuss the organization of these negotiations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a conversation scheduled for the following day. The decision to proceed with the talks, however, rests with the Ukrainian authorities and their international supporters, as noted by Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitri Peskov.
