3-way talks focus on path to end conflict

Zelensky hosts leaders of UN, Turkiye in meeting, and nuclear plant fears aired

KYIV/LVIV－The leaders of the United Nations, Turkiye and Ukraine have discussed ways to end the conflict raging for nearly six months and secure Europe's largest nuclear power station.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters after talks in Lviv, Ukraine, on Thursday that he was gravely concerned about circumstances at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and called for military equipment and personnel to be withdrawn.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he, Guterres and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed building on a recent positive atmosphere to revive peace negotiations with Russia that took place in Istanbul in March.
