Zelenskyy hopes for ceasefire with Russia, says he'll be 'waiting for Putin' in Turkiye personally
Kyiv (AP): Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said he is hoping for a full and temporary ceasefire with Russia starting Monday, adding he would be in Turkiye to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin “personally.”
His comments came after US President Donald Trump insisted Ukraine accept Russia's latest offer of holding direct talks in Turkiye on Thursday. Ukraine, along with European allies, had demanded Russia accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire starting on Monday before holding talks.
It was not clear if Zelenskyy was conditioning his presence in Turkey on the Monday ceasefire holding.

Speaker asks govt to educate MPs on crop insurance scheme
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday asked the government to form groups of MPs to guide them on the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna to enhance their understanding of the key scheme.
When Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour, Birla proposed creation of such groups.
The minister agreed with the idea.
The scheme provides farmers with affordable insurance coverage against crop losses due to natural disasters.
