MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Putin said on Sunday that he would discuss with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the possibility of holding talks with Ukraine in Istanbul. Putin also suggested that Kiev, despite everything, resume direct talks without any preconditions on May 15 in Istanbul.
US President Donald Trump, after Russian President Vladimir Putin's offer to hold direct talks with Kiev's representatives in Istanbul, called it a "potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine," and promised to continue working with both sides.

"A potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine! Think of the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved as this never ending 'bloodbath' hopefully comes to an end. It will be a whole new, and much better, WORLD. I will continue to work with both sides to make sure that it happens. The USA wants to focus, instead, on Rebuilding and Trade. A BIG week upcoming!" Trump said on Truth Social.
