No agreement has been reached for a meeting of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, Interfax reported, citing Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhail Podolyak, citing the Ukrainian presidential adviser.
"The time of the meeting between the presidents of the two countries and the framework of this meeting have not been decided yet," Podolyak, who is a member of the Ukrainian delegation to the peace talks with Russia, reportedly said. Podolyak said that consultations were continuing at the working group level.
Earlier, Turkey's Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, had said Ankara hoped that Zelensky and Putin would meet in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that extremely difficult weeks await Ukraine in the face of the Russian military, which has already gathered forces for a major offensive in the eastern part of the country, a priority for Moscow.
Extremely difficult weeks await us,' the Ukrainian minister warned in a statement posted on Facebook, calling on Ukrainians to show strength and unity after more than two months of conflict with Russia.
Unfortunately, we will lose more soldiers before we win (the war), he added, estimating that there will be more destruction and injuries. He said the Russian military, already aware of its strategic defeat, will try to inflict as much suffering as possible on Ukrainian soldiers, whom Reznikov urged to hold on tight.
Meanwhile, last night, powerful explosions occurred in Kherson, a town in southern Ukraine under the control of Russian troops, Reuters reported citing RIA Novosti. According to initial reports, these were rocket attacks launched by the Ukrainian army.
