Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, despite proposing them himself. The Kremlin has instead assigned presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation. President Trump is also skipping the summit, lowering hopes for any major breakthrough. While Ukraine’s Zelenskyy had demanded Putin’s presence, he is reportedly en route to Turkey. The US has sent Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key envoys. A ceasefire proposal and prisoner exchange remain on the table amid the absence of top leaders from the historic talks.

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia for high-level trade talks, greeted with an extravagant welcome by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The reception included a royal fighter jet Escort and a traditional coffee ceremony—though Trump declined the coffee, a move considered culturally insensitive. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accepted on Trump’s behalf, easing tension. To cater to Trump’s preferences, Saudi officials even arranged McDonald’s trucks near the venue. The visit reflects the Kingdom’s strategic effort to strengthen U.S. ties—mixing tradition with tailored hospitality.

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.

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.
