Trump hopes for historical peace: Selenskyj is waiting for Putin in Turkey
On May 12, 2025, US President Donald Trump optimistically commented on an important upcoming meeting between the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. Trump emphasizes the importance of this meeting and emphasizes that he had personally pushed on his creation. This meeting takes place in Turkey and could potentially be decisive for the development of the situation in Ukraine.
Selenskyj has announced that he will be on site in Turkey on Thursday to receive Putin. Trump argues that Selenskyj's approval for the talks of everyone involved - in particular Kiev, the European partners and the USA - would provide clarity about the current situation. The expectations of a "full and permanent fire break" from Monday by Selenskyjs should create a basis for diplomacy.
Putin's proposal and Russian reactions
Putin proposed the resumption of direct peace talks in Turkey from Thursday, but it remains unclear whether he will personally take part in the meeting. This uncertainty attracts additional interest, since the Ultimats of the West and the Ukrainian government were rejected by the Kremlin.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow described the language of Ultimaten as “unacceptable” and “not appropriate”. According to Peskow, one cannot communicate with Russia in this way. This statement still emphasizes the tensions between Russia and the western states and Ukraine and designs the context for the upcoming meeting.
In view of the previous diplomatic difficulties, the meeting in Turkey could represent a turning point in the relationships between the parties involved. All eyes are aimed at the conversations, while the geopolitical tensions reach their peak. The decisions made during this meeting could possibly have far -reaching consequences for the region and beyond.| Details | |
