The Kremlin refuses to comment further on Zelensky’s proposal for Putin to attend talks in Turkey.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is preparing for talks in Istanbul. He did not answer any other questions from journalists on this subject.
“The Kremlin will announce the composition of the Russian delegation at the talks in Istanbul as soon as the president deems it necessary. For now, we are not going to comment on anything else,” the representative replied, according to Russia’s Interfax.
According to him, Europe’s approach to the Ukraine issue is allegedly “aimed at continuing the war and contrasts with the approach of Moscow and Washington.”
“Europe is completely and completely siding with Ukraine and cannot claim a balanced approach in the negotiation process,” he added.
Meanwhile, according to unconfirmed reports from Russian sources, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will lead the Russian delegation at the talks in Istanbul on May 15. The delegation will also include presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

“Europe is completely and completely siding with Ukraine and cannot claim a balanced approach in the negotiation process,” he added.
Unlike the US which is siding with the putler regime.
Lavrov will be in Istanbul speaking with Zelensky?????????
Lavrov will get laughed out of the room.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Lavrov realises he’s not up against amateurs, but guys that would sooner stamp on his head than listen to his BS.
Nope. Zelensky stated he will only meet with putler, because only putler can stop the war, not his hired help.
The only argument against that is if Zelensky leaves, Trump can start that “both sides” bullshit again.
Zelensky stated his position to the whole world. Putler has said nothing. No doubt he is reading his kgb handbook at the moment.
