Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed skepticism about Russia’s commitment to peace talks, as Moscow sends a team to Istanbul without sharing negotiating proposals, a key demand from Ukraine. Zelensky criticized Russia for potentially making the meeting unproductive, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the need for an unconditional ceasefire to facilitate broader negotiations. Despite hopes for a high-level summit, both Putin and Zelensky are not expected to attend the upcoming talks, with Russia’s ceasefire proposals remaining undisclosed.
