Putin not named in Russian delegation for Ukraine talks
ai generated text
The Russian president has announced a delegation of high-level officials will travel to Turkey for direct talks on the war in Ukraine. The delegation includes Vladimir Medinsky, Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin, and Igor Kostyukov, but Vladimir Putin's name is not on the list.
The best we can hope for in these technical discussions is indeed a ceasefire, an immediate, unconditional ceasefire, that would allow for proper peace negotiation.
In front of Ukrainians there is an empty chair, one that should have been occupied by Vladimir Putin.
I'm still cautiously optimistic that if also the Russians are willing to play ball, and not only the Ukrainians are doing this (...) that you could get to some breakthroughs over the next couple of weeks.
The Russian delegation will be waiting for the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul on May 15.
Before the departure of our delegation to Istanbul yesterday evening, President Putin held a meeting on preparations for the upcoming negotiations with the Ukrainian side.
Who uses the word 'dummy'? A clown? A loser? Someone with no education whatsoever.
So I said that on [Thursday] I will go to Türkiye and I'm ready to meet Putin and an end to the war was through direct talks with him.
I am waiting to see who will come from Russia, and then I will decide which steps Ukraine should take. So far, the signals from them in the media are unconvincing.
Our delegation is at the highest level − the ministry of foreign affairs, the office of the president, the military, our intelligence agencies (...) in order to make any decisions that can lead to just peace.
I don't know that he (Putin) would be there if I'm not there.
Now tomorrow, we're all booked out, you understand that. We're going to UAE tomorrow. So we have a very full situation. Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't do it to save a lot of lives and come back.
