"We support an unconditional ceasefire and a transition to diplomacy. In any format, composition, or location in the civilized world, we emphasize again that we are willing to meet with Russia in direct negotiations or with the mediation of America, Europe, etc. Russia set the appropriate conditions in Istanbul, and we agreed to the exchange of thousands of people. This is a good result," Zelenskyy said during a conversation with journalists on May 27.
