Russia INSULTS Zelensky, Calling Him a Clown and Pathetic Ahead of Critical Istanbul Ukraine Talks [Video]

Russia INSULTS Zelensky, Calling Him a Clown and Pathetic Ahead of Critical Istanbul Ukraine Talks

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 #Putin #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Istanbul #DolmabahcePalace #Ukraine #Russia #Erdogan #Diplomacy #ConflictResolution #Geopolitics #ClownComment #DummyDelegation #GlobalTensions #PutinSnub #ZelenskySpeech #RussiaUkraineCrisis #BreakingNews #WarAndPeace #InternationalRelations #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #AnkaraMeetings #TurkeyMediation #PeaceProcess #PutinVsZelensky #HardlineDelegation #RubioStatement #TrumpComments #PeaceNegotiations Also Read Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

US President Donald Trump stated in Doha that he might travel to Turkey on Friday if the ongoing Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations show significant progress. Trump’s comments come as international focus shifts to the Istanbul talks, marking the first direct peace push since the conflict reignited. While Putin isn’t attending, Ukraine’s Zelensky may join if Trump does. This potential high-level presence could reshape the talks.

‘I’ll Attend Turkey Peace Talks Only If…’ Zelensky To Attend Turkey Peace Talks on ONE CONDITION

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. #Putin #Zelenskyy #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #IstanbulSummit #Trump #Ceasefire #Kremlin #MarcoRubio #UkraineNews #BreakingNews #TurkeySummit #RussiaNews #VolodymyrZelenskyy #PutinSkipsTalks #TrumpAbsent #UkraineRussiaPeace #WarInEurope #GlobalDiplomacy Also Read JNU Suspends MoU With Turkish University As Reports Of Ankara Helping Pakistan Against India Emerge :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jnu-suspends-mou-with-turkish-university-as-reports-of-ankara-helping-pakistan-against-india-emerge-4153301.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Provided Pakistan With Army Personnel, More Than 350 Drones During Operation Sindoor: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/turkey-provided-pakistan-with-army-personnel-more-than-350-drones-during-operation-sindoor-reports-4153045.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey-Made Armed 'Asisguard Songar' Drones Used By Pakistan Against India.
