At the same time, it is still unclear whether Putin himself will dare to attend this meeting.

Russian representatives will be waiting for Ukraine in Turkey on May 15, 2025, to hold negotiations .

This statement was made by Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, in a comment to Pavel Zarubin,  a journalist for the propaganda TV channel ” Russia 1 “.

However, Peskov did not confirm whether Russian President Putin himself would make the trip. The composition of the Russian delegation that will go to the talks has not yet been disclosed.

“When there is an instruction from the president, then we will do it,” Putin’s spokesman added. 

It is worth noting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that he would be waiting in Istanbul for the Russian dictator Putin:

“It is Putin who determines everything in Russia, it is he who should decide the issue of war. This is his war. Therefore, negotiations should be with him,” he said .

  1. The tiny occupier is sending a “delegation” which still can’t make any decisions on a ceasefire so this meeting is not for negotiations, its for talks…which are a waste of time. If Trump is going to maintain even a sliver of credibility he must insist the head ruSSo-nazi go to Istanbul or he will use the language of ultimatums and threaten to open the military warehouse to Ukraine. Which is the quickest way to end putin’s war.
