President: Ukraine must use every opportunity to negotiate with Russia until war ends

"This is a question for Vladimir Putin. And the meeting of our negotiating groups in Turkey depends on his desire... But I believe that we must speak until the war ends. We must cling to every such moment, every opportunity to avoid the deaths of children like we have today in Odesa," Zelensky said at a press conference when asked whether negotiations with the Russian side will continue in Turkey, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

As reported, the last face-to-face talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations took place in Istanbul. The Ukrainian delegation put forward a number of proposals to end the war, including the signing of an international agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine.
