Ukraine's priorities at Ukrainian-Russian talks will be sovereignty & territorial integrity: Prez Zelansky

Ukraine’s priorities at the Ukrainian-Russian talks in Turkey this week will be sovereignty and territorial integrity, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told his nation yesterday in his nightly address.

Zelenskyy also told independent Russian journalists on Sunday that his government would consider declaring neutrality and offering security guarantees to Russia,



repeating earlier statements. That would include keeping Ukraine nuclear-free.

He told the reporters that the issue of neutrality - and agreeing to stay out of NATO - should be put to Ukrainian voters in a referendum after Russian troops withdraw. He said that a vote could take place within a few months once Russian troops leave.
