Open to the Istanbul summit for the meeting of Trump, Putin and Zelensky

The world political scene is on the verge of another important meeting. Former US President Donald Trump has announced his readiness to hold direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This was officially reported by White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt in Washington on Monday, June 2.

Trump is not against the negotiating table

According to Caroline Leavitt, Trump does not rule out such a summit, but its main condition is that the leaders of both sides, Moscow and Kiev, should be open to the negotiating table.

“If it comes to such a meeting, Trump is ready for it. But, first of all, he wants both leaders to have the intention to start peace talks,” Leavitt said.

Erdogan's initiative - a meeting in Turkey?

Let us recall that a few days ago, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan invited Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump to the third round of talks, which is planned to be held in Istanbul or Ankara. This was reported by the AFP agency.

Speaking at a meeting of the Turkish Cabinet of Ministers, Erdogan said:
"I consider this meeting a great dream for me. I even want to invite Trump. If they come, I am ready to participate in the same format. We have the opportunity to turn Istanbul into a center of peace in the world."

Significance and prospects of the meeting

If this initiative is implemented, it will be the first global meeting since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, when the leaders of the United States, Russia and Ukraine will gather in one place. Such a summit could have not only political, but also historical significance.

Turkey has repeatedly expressed its readiness as a venue for these talks. With this initiative, Ankara is positioning itself as a leading mediator in resolving international problems.

If the leaders of the world's three major political powers - the United States, Russia and Ukraine - gather around one table, this could be not only an opportunity to end the war, but also a new diplomatic turning point. No decision has been made yet, but global politicians and the public are eagerly awaiting the implementation of this initiative.
