Zelenskyy to fly to Turkey to meet Erdogan, wait for Putin
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters that he would fly to Turkey on Thursday to meet the country’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and wait to see if Russian president Vladimir Putin decides to join them for peace talks.
He explained that because “absolutely everything in Russia” depends on Putin, the only way to secure a ceasefire and an end to the war was through direct talks with him, Reuters reported.
“If Putin does not arrive and plays games, it is the final point that he does not want to end the war,” he said, AP reported.
Meanwhile one is reminded of a Samuel Beckett play.
Waiting for Godot is a 1953 play by Irish writer and playwright Samuel Beckett in which the two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon, engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives.
