@ZelenskyyUa
Today we held several meetings with the team regarding the format in Türkiye. I am waiting to see who will come from Russia, and then I will decide which steps Ukraine should take. So far, the signals from them in the media are unconvincing.
We also hear that President Trump is considering attending the meeting in Türkiye. That could become the strongest argument. This week really may change a lot — but only may. Everything is being decided right now.
Russia is only prolonging the war and the killings. I want to thank every country, every leader who is now putting pressure on Russia, so that the shelling finally stops, so that meaningful negotiations can take place at a level where real decisions can be made. To everyone helping peace and diplomacy — thank you.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
He's making Putin look obstinate. Putin needs to wake up and come to the table not necessarily in person but he needs to show the world and Trump that he is serious,.
Perhaps the Zeepers are right ?
We are Americans. It’s Turkey.
They changed their name officially to the one he’s referencing
Yes but in amer English it is Turkey.
Example
England is what the English call their country
Italians call it Angloterra.(sp)
You do not change your language to accommodate others
They’ve made it clear they want to be known and spelled that way
Their ads in the UK emphasize it!
“I’m afraid little Z-Man is winning the propaganda war with his sudden pivot for peace.”
Perhaps with Westerners, due to their propaganda machine (the media), but then Putin no longer cares what the West thinks, he cares what the 80% of the world thinks, and he’s looked at in a completely different way - as shown by the world leaders of the major countries who fly to Russia on a regular basis for events, the latest being their Victory Day celebrations in Moscow last week.
I wouldn’t mind hearing from Zeepers.
They’ll be in the ascendency the more Putin does not engage.
Trump is spending a lot of time trying to resolve this he needs some co-operation.
“They’ll be in the ascendency the more Putin does not engage.”
Putin’s engaged - he sent his #2 Defense Minister there with a team of others. Let’s see if the Ukrainians sit down and talk with them.
As to Putin himself, he’s never been known to fly around the world for photo ops. Like all other major leaders, he flies to countries to sign agreements. Look at Trump today, he’s in Cutter, signing very significant agreements - the work involved in developing those agreements was done by lower-level Americans meeting with Cutterites, or whatever they are called.
The Brits call it a torch, Americans call it a flashlight. Ukrainians call it Kyiv, Americans call it Kiev. Italians call it Italia, Americans call it Italy. Turks call it Turkiye, Americans call it Turkey. Addressing your international audience?
The sooner the Z man steps down ,the quicker peace can be achieved.
I admit still call it Turkey but they want to be known and advertising as the other.
Geesh, Zeepers are never right. Quit buying Zelensky’s coke addled crap. He is a major liar. He is getting his chance in Turkey. He can send his own or go himself, as he said he wanted to be included. The idea is for him and Russian reps to see what they can find from each side to end the mess. If they can find some promising ground supposedly Trump and Putin would meet them there.

So what?
The United States is called Statis Unitedes (again sp) in France.
French do not call their country France nor do the Spanish call their country Spain.
We refer to other countries IN OUR OWN LANGUAGES
INTERNATIONALLY.

Who cares?
I suppose you are advertising your pronouns too?
No need to shout!
You’re right but they’re re-branding like Burma calling itself Myanmar. Just know this fact.
No they are just respelling it closer to their language’s pronunciation.
Not anyone’s issue.
Nothing to be afraid of you’re just observing reality.
When Zeepers tell you Zelensky’s “ peace terms”, it will be obvious why Putin is not engaging.
Why would Putin come to a NATO country that has been providing weapons to Ukraine, to give the installed Cocaine Shrimp a photo op to proclaim “ Crimea is Ukraine”.
Some wars have to be settled on the battlefield. This may be one.
