Volodimir Zelenski at the urging of Donald Trump to accept to come to Turkey on Thursday to convince Vladimir Putin to accept the offer of the Ukrainian president to meet face to negotiate the war. “If (Trump) would confirm his participation, I think this would give Putin an additional impulse to come,” Zelenski said on Tuesday night. Trump appealed to the two to go to Turkey for negotiations and even stated that he would “consider” a detour through Istanbul. But, at this stage, the Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the one who “will be there”, according to the American president.
