Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, has increased diplomacy in response to Russia’s invasion of his nation by meeting with the presidents of the United States, Turkey, and France in the midst of protracted warfare on the war’s eastern front, which has been going on for nine months.
Since Russian soldiers entered in late February, Zelenskyy has spoken frequently with US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; nonetheless, it is unusual for him to conduct such conversations throughout the course of a single day.
He also spoke to US Vice-President Joe Biden about Ukraine’s need for effective anti-aircraft defence systems. G7 leaders will meet on Monday to discuss further sanctions on Russia and Iran. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called for an end to the Ukraine crisis in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, his office says. There are no peace talks and no end in sight to the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War Two. Moscow calls it a “special military operation” and Ukraine and its allies call it an unprovoked act of aggression.
