'I'm here,' Zelenskiy says in Turkey as message to Putin

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Ankara, Turkey, on May 15 to engage in peace discussions ahead of Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul.
The visit follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's confirmed absence from the talks, which are instead led by Russian aide Vladimir Medinsky.
Zelensky met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Presidential Complex for closed-door talks before the wider negotiations involving delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the US.
Zelensky stated Ukraine's delegation is of the "highest level" and must ensure the Russian delegation has a valid mandate to make decisions, while criticizing Moscow for sending a "sham delegation."
The meetings seek to restart peace talks, with Erdogan expected to urge an immediate ceasefire, but Zelensky indicated negotiations lack purpose without Putin's direct involvement.
