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.
