President of Ukraine: Russian troops continue offensive operations

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference in Ankara that Russian troops are continuing offensive operations along the entire front line. According to the head of state, the greatest threat is in the Sumy direction, where a significant grouping of troops has been concentrated.

'The main direction is Sumy - there are 67 thousand Russian troops concentrated there,'

Zelensky also reported on negotiations with Russia, which are to take place in Istanbul. The Ukrainian delegation is headed by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. The negotiations should be organized with the participation of Turkey and the USA. According to the Ukrainian leader, all parties should be ready for negotiations and unconditionally cease fire.

'I believe that all parties must show readiness for negotiations. The first step should be an unconditional ceasefire,'

The head of the Russian delegation stated that their task is to establish long-term peace and eliminate the causes of the conflict. Zelensky also noted the pressure from the Trump administration on both sides of the conflict, believing that this pressure was more active on the Ukrainian side.
