At Istanbul talks, the Ukrainian delegation is ready to discuss the issue of a 30-day ceasefire. At the same time, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, in fact, wants the surrender of Ukraine, despite the fact that in the last 2 years the Russian army has been able to capture only 1% of the territory of Ukraine.
About it writes Wall Street Journal.
The fact that Putin sent to Turkey to meet with the Ukrainian delegation of low-rank officials, questioned whether these negotiations would happen at all, rejecting any hope for a “breakthrough” in the negotiation process.
Ukrainian officials have stated that they would meet with the Russian team only to discuss the 30-day ceasefire, and Putin essentially wants the surrender of Ukraine, even though Russian troops are barely forward.
The question is on whose side the US President Donald Trump will be, the publication notes. He is increasingly disappointed in Putin’s unwillingness to stop the war, but does not show any desire to punish Russia with additional sanctions.
We will remind, on May 15 a Ukrainian delegation, headed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, went to Turkey. But he may not participate in them unless there is Putin.
Earlier in his evening address, Zelensky noted that he is expecting information who will arrive in Turkey from the Russian Federation, and on this basis will choose the format of negotiations.
The Russians keep the composition of their delegation to Turkey, and they do not voice whether Putin will come personally to complicate Ukraine preparation for negotiations.
Whether there will be Putin there, even Trump, who was ready to go to communicate. The US Secretary of State Marko Rubio, Special Representatives of Kit Kellogg and Steve Witcoff should also be from the United States.
