Russia continues attacks, gives no response to proposal for direct talks: Ukraine's Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that Russia was continuing its attacks on Ukraine and had made no response to a proposal for direct talks in Turkey this week in a "strange silence."

"Russian shelling and assaults continue," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. "Moscow has remained silent all day regarding the proposal for a direct meeting. A very strange silence."

Zelenskyy repeated that US President Donald Trump supported the proposed meeting "and we would like him to find the opportunity to be in Turkey."
