Reuters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday (May 12) 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," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. "Moscow has remained silent all day regarding the proposal for a direct meeting. A very strange silence."
Zelenskiy repeated that U.S. President Donald Trump supported the proposed meeting "and we would like him to find the opportunity to be in Turkey."
Zelenskiy also said he spoke by phone with newly elected Pope Leo XIV.
