President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
„We discussed diplomatic efforts – ours and those of our partners. Russia ignores all calls from the world for a ceasefire and continues the killings.

In the meeting with Li, Kuleba “emphasized that Ukraine does not accept any proposals that would involve the loss of its territories or the freezing of the conflict.”
