Zelensky has confirmed that Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Umerov, will lead the delegation to Istanbul. The primary goal is to push for a ceasefire. Zelensky emphasized that Russia isn't serious about negotiations but is sending a delegation out of respect for Trump.

Zelensky: If there's no ceasefire or meaningful outcomes, we will demand a powerful sanctions package against Russia, including from the U.S. The Ukrainian delegation will remain in Turkey until May 16. Zelensky and Erdogan will head to Albania afterward.

Zelensky: "We do not recognize occupied territories. Crimea is part of Ukraine under our Constitution, and Erdogan supports this stance."
Discussing territorial issues is a violation of the Ukrainian Constitution.

"We can't be running around the world looking for Putin," – Zelensky.
"I feel disrespect from Russia. No meeting time, no agenda, no high-level delegation—this is personal disrespect. To Erdogan, to Trump," – Zelensky at a press conference in Turkey.

Zelensky: "A good and productive meeting with Erdogan in Ankara on peace and security. Grateful for Turkey’s support of a complete ceasefire and real diplomacy. Russia showed it’s not serious about peace by sending a weak delegation—this is disrespect. We expect strong responses from our partners."
