Putin goes to a meeting in Istanbul with Ukraine International
Russian President Vladimir Putin is sitting tomorrow before his Ukrainian counter Volodimir Zelenski in Istanbul. Three years after their last bilateral encounter, Russia and Ukraine will try to be interviewed this Thursday, if you can open peace talks to investigate. The Russian representation is designed with the second -line team, as well as responsible for the fail conversations of 2022, according to the list made by the President of the Russian Writers Union Vladimir Medianski, president of the media. I was not clear who would be part of the delegation until the last minute of Wednesday and Putin did not respond to the Jelensky Challenge, which challenged it to meet in Torkie personally.
The third country delegation comes to the disord in the United States on Friday. The meeting was improved after Vladimir Putin outbursts Western demands of negotiation Con A replica: The Istanbul meeting with Kiw is this May 15 “without pre -existing conditions.” His great opponent, Ukraine Volodimir Zelensky, accepted the initiative and Challenged him to be personalBut since then, the Russian leader has not answered in the last four days.
Finally Putin will not go to the call this Thursday. Its Foreign Minister Sergui Lavrov is also not. His delegation is also led by Vladimir Medinski, who has a low political weight in Russia. His only task after 2022 failed to rewrite the story in school textbooks to justify the current invasion of Ukraine.
The rest of the Russian team was similar to that in 2022, including Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister Mikhail Galujin and Defense Deputy Minister Alexander Mif. Kremlin’s idea is to resume failed discussions at the same time.
Jelence has made it clear that he has not met anyone from the Russian delegation rather than President Putin. Until the last moment, all the options were on the table and, of course, the Ukrainian diplomats explained to the newspaper, and some of the Ukraine Embassy staff in the Turkish capital Ankara had already moved to Istanbul on Monday to prepare its president. He assured his country on Wednesday afternoon that his country was ready to participate in “any negotiation”.
He not only stresses the Russian leader but also his partners to what he calls Multipolar world. Brazilian president Lula Da Silva landed with a Kremlin message in Russia’s capital on Wednesday. “When I arrive in Moscow, I will try to talk to Putin. I am not very difficult to say: ‘Hey, Comrade Putin, who sees Istanbul to talk to Istanbul, said before leaving Beijing home through Brazilian Russia. Finally, Lula did not meet in Moscow with Putin.
The obvious thing is that Zelensky goes to Turkey, although he does it to Ankara, where he meets with his Turkish counter -recep Tayeep Erdogan, he will not go to Istanbul if Putin and US President Donald Trump go to the highest level.
Another unknown to who will host Russian and Ukraine representatives, because the head of Turkey Diplomatic Hakan Fidan plans to an informal meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers this Thursday in Antalya on Thursday in Antalya on Thursday. If you progress in Istanbul, you will have to leave the Atlantic Alliance meeting half.
In this city of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio, but Tuesday, has been entrusted with the American Negotiating team, including the Middle East and Steve Witcaff ambassador. The two will go to the city of Bosphorus on Friday, May 16. According to the American Press, the special ambassador for Russia and Ukraine was not officially confirmed by the delegation.
Beginning of 2022 conversations
Putin urged Putin this Saturday to reopen Istanbul’s failed conversations from March 2022. At that time, Russian attack on the two largest cities in the country, Kaiw and Jarkov, Ukraine’s resistance failed, and found in Russian withdrawal on Kiw and Kaiw and Kaiw and the whole of the world’s citizenship masti Like a bucha.
According to the story of the Russian leader, Ukraine withdrew from negotiations and put pressure on the West. And the forces of Moscow were “repaired”, Putin said “gesture of virtue”. But reality is away from this version. The Russian poles have led the entirety of the entire and Ukraine to defeat, until then, the Western countries have received marginal military assistance, and in the next month, a large part of its occupied territory. In addition to a direct threat on its capital, Ukraine’s army Request a piece of Jerson and Japoria.
In these three years, Putin also defended not to meet Jelensky as an illegal president for not holding elections on his country. In contrast, this Wednesday, Kremlin Justice Grigori Melconants, Sweets Co -Presidential sentenced to five years in prison Election fraud in Russia From Decades ago.
Turkey has been a member of the alliance since 1952, but has not imposed restrictions on Russia (although it meets some of them rather than affected by secondary sanctions) and managed open channels with Putin, with whom Erdogan had a good harmony. In the same way it is with Zelensky. Ankara supplied weapons to Ukraine, in addition to contributing to exporting its grain to the rest of the world.
Diplomatic balance
Thanks to these diplomatic balances, Turkey held two rounds between Ukraine and Russia in March 2022 Antalya and Foreign Ministers of both countries concluded with no progressAnother in Istanbul He resigned to be a member of Ukraine NATO instead of security guaranteesBut a contract is not closed. Kiw and Moscow held contacts for a few more weeks, but only by videoconference.
Newspaper The New York Times Published in 2024 Some documents of those conversations, the drafts prepared by the representatives of the negotiations are coming to crystallize in any case.
According to this version, in April 2022, the two parties agree to exclude the future of Crimea from a possible peace agreement. Ukraine does not detect its possession and this problem will be solved in the future. In addition, Kiwe has never been able to join NATO and accept the invasion of their territories, although they do not recognize Russian sovereignty about them. Everything looks after.
However, according to the documents of the American newspaper, the Moscow and the Kiwe continue to disagree with the military capacity of continuing after the Moscow and the Kiwe war, the conditions and the laws on Russian culture and language in the country they have synthesized towards the European Union.
NATO, Ukraine and Russia, United by Torky
Representatives of 32 countries met in Antalya with the aim of preparing the leaders of the members of the Member States of Atlantic Alliance, which will take place in the Heg at the end of June and is coming forward in talks about the increase in cost. The new US Administration stresses so that European countries increase their defense costs and get more budget weight in the alliance.

In this amount, ask to stay in other games at 3.5% of military costs. It refers to a significant increase in the current 2% cost target, which does not reach many members (in 2024, Spain dedicated 1.24% of its GDP, although it promised to increase to 2% this year).
