Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine-Russia-US talks could involve "Türkiye and all of Europe"

At a press event in Istanbul with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the recent short‑term cease‑fire that let residents of the Russian‑occupied city of Oleshky evacuate showed that reducing hostilities with Moscow is possible when the Russian side is forced to act. He added that Ukraine, Russia and the United States could convene in early November and that other parties, such as Turkey and additional European nations, might be included in the talks. The United States, meanwhile, said there is rising international interest in a limited pause on naval combat in the Black Sea to keep grain and energy shipments moving, a point also raised by Erdoğan, who condemned attacks on civilian vessels.
