Russians and Ukrainians are expected to meet in Constantinople today for their first bilateral talks on ending the war since spring 2022, when the first talks after the start of the Russian forces in Ukraine had not come to an end. The Kremlin, for his part, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not participate, despite the fact that he initially appealed for talks.

Ukraine President Volodimir Zelensk has said he will not meet any of the Russian side except Putin and described the Russian delegation as “decorative”.

“Who used the word ‘decorative’? A clown? A failed? A person without any training, “Sakharova commented during the weekly reporters, shortly after Zelenski’s statements.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described Zelenski described as a “miserable” because Putin demanded that Putin come in person. “

Another key person who will not attend Turkey is US President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly implied that his trips to the Middle East could change to participate in the negotiations. In his new intervention, the US president, further intensifying the ambiguity and uncertainty about the meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Constantinople, said there would be no development in the peace talks about Ukraine and Ukraine.

It is well known that Kiev and Moscow have not held direct talks at any level since Moscow began its full -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But the stake is higher this time, as both Trump and the European allies have not said.
