Ukraine's Zelenskyy arrives in Turkey for talks with Russian delegation sent by no-show Putin
Thursday, 15 May 2025 () Russian President Vladimir Putin sent aides and deputy ministers to hold peace talks with Ukraine in Turkey on Thursday, spurning Kyiv's challenge to go there in person to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump declared no real resolution can happen in the Russia-Ukraine war unless he meets directly with Vladimir Putin. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said Putin wouldn’t attend Turkey talks without him. Ukrainian President Zelensky dismissed Russia’s delegates as “stand-in props” and challenged Putin to a direct meeting without preconditions. As conflict continues, with 168 clashes reported Wednesday, Trump offered to join peace talks if needed. Putin remains non-committal, and Russia’s low-level delegation casts doubt on the Kremlin’s seriousness.

Tensions flared as Russia and Ukraine traded insults just before their first direct peace talks in over three years. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia’s delegation a “Dummy team,” while Moscow fired back, labeling him a “clown” and “pathetic.” Putin is skipping the talks despite global pressure, instead sending a hardliner historian who denies Ukraine’s nationhood. Talks will take place in Istanbul’s Dolmabahce Palace under strict watch. With emotions high and leadership absent, hopes for a breakthrough remain fragile.

Zelensky has announced he will not personally attend the upcoming peace talks with Russia in Istanbul, opting instead to send a delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. The decision follows a nearly three-hour closed-door meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara. Zelensky cited concerns over the legitimacy of the Russian delegation—headed by Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky—calling it a potential “sham” with no real mandate to make decisions.

In a major twist, Russia has signaled readiness to resume direct peace talks with Ukraine, with Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky stating Moscow is open to "discussion and possible compromises." Speaking from Istanbul ahead of the highly anticipated negotiations, Medinsky is leading a senior delegation including top defense and intelligence officials. This comes after President Putin’s recent proposal to restart dialogue—sparking speculation of a strategic U-turn in Moscow’s stance.

In a dramatic diplomatic shift, the US is reportedly blocking Ukrainian President Zelensky from attending next month’s NATO summit in The Hague. Media reports suggest Ukraine’s membership bid is off the agenda to avoid friction with President Trump, who has ruled out NATO accession for Kiev. While Ukraine may attend minor sessions, it will be sidelined from top-level talks. Meanwhile, only a few non-member nations like Japan and Australia are invited. NATO’s message is clear — Ukraine may be an ally, but not a member, at least not any time soon.

French President Emmanuel Macron has delivered a stark assessment of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, stating bluntly that Ukraine cannot retake territories already lost to Russia. Acknowledging that even Ukrainian authorities are aware of this, Macron emphasized the need for a united international effort to support Ukraine—without escalating into World War III. Calling for peace, he said Ukraine must be positioned strongly for negotiations and confirmed that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Instead, Macron proposed a deployment of reassurance forces by willing allies, stationed far from the frontlines. The comments come ahead of planned peace talks in Istanbul, which remain deadlocked over Ukraine’s refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea.

In a bold move ahead of critical peace talks in Istanbul, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenges Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet face-to-face, daring him to engage in direct discussions for the first time in years. As the world watches, Putin lashes out at Ukraine’s forced conscription tactics, accusing Kyiv of "snatching people like dogs in the streets." Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to volunteer in large numbers, according to Putin, who proudly claims that 50,000-60,000 Russians sign up willingly every month.
