Putin asked Ukraine to join peace talks next week on May 15. He spoke late Saturday night, saying Russia wants real talks about lasting peace. Leaders from Britain, France, and Germany traveled to Kyiv, asking for a month-long stop to fighting starting Monday. Russian officials said they needed time to think about the request from Europe, but warned that pressure never works with them. Putin suggested a meeting in Turkey, like past peace tries.
The Russian leader talked with Turkish President Erdogan about holding these meetings soon. Ukraine has not answered joining these talks yet. Putin mentioned maybe agreeing to stop fighting, but never said yes to the full 30 days European leaders requested. Four major countries sent their top people to push both sides toward stopping the war. The Turkish city has hosted peace meetings between these fighting nations before.
