Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy held talks with Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday (November 19) as word emerged that Washington was discussing possible peace conditions with Russia.

A senior Ukrainian official told Reuters that Kyiv had received "signals" about a set of U.S. proposals to end the war that Washington has discussed with Russia. Ukraine has had no role in preparing the proposals, the source said.

No face-to-face talks have taken place between Kyiv and Moscow since a meeting in Istanbul in July and Russian forces have pressed on with Moscow's nearly four-year-old war in Ukraine, killing 25 people in strikes overnight.

Zelenskiy met Erdogan after visits to Greece, France and Spain. He has remained focused on the war effort and said on Tuesday (November 18) he was preparing to "reinvigorate negotiations" and discuss with Erdogan how to bring a "just peace" to Ukraine.

Zelenskiy is due to meet U.S. Army officials in Kyiv on Thursday (November 20).
