Selenskyj demands clarity: does Russia seriously come to Istanbul?

The meeting, which could take place on June 2, raises questions about the conditions under which Ukraine is willing to take part. Selenskyj asked Russia to take diplomacy seriously and to end the war, while at the same time preparing new steps for diplomatic cooperation with European partners and the USA, such as Ukrinform reported.
