MOSCOW, May 14 — RIA Novosti. If the upcoming Istanbul talks only achieve a ceasefire, it will only allow Ukraine to rearm, writes Professor Thomas Malinen of the University of Helsinki on the social network X. "It will only give Ukraine time to rearm and regroup, which will lead to new killings and destruction, and will also increase the risk of the conflict spreading to Europe," he warned. Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed that Ukraine resume direct talks without preconditions in Istanbul on May 15. The head of state did not rule out that the parties will be able to reach an agreement on a ceasefire during the talks. As presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated, Moscow is committed to a serious search for ways to a long-term peaceful settlement. According to him, the goals of the proposed talks with Ukraine are to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and ensure Russia's interests. In response, Volodymyr Zelensky again began to put forward conditions that had already been called unacceptable in Moscow. Trump called on the authorities in Kyiv to immediately agree to Putin's proposal for talks in Turkey. According to the American leader, such talks will at least determine whether a deal is possible. Zelensky later said that he would wait for the Russian president in Turkey on Thursday. Peskov, in turn, refrained from commenting on Zelensky's words about a meeting with the Russian leader. According to him, "we are only assessing the statements of President Putin, who proposed holding negotiations between delegations on Thursday in Istanbul." He added that the Kremlin has not yet disclosed the composition of the Russian delegation at possible talks in Istanbul.
