Russian Delegation Lands In Istanbul For Ukraine Ceasefire Talks | Talks to Fail without Putin?
A Russian delegation has arrived in Istanbul for long-awaited ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine, state media reported Thursday.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the talks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who demanded Putin’s presence for direct negotiations, is meeting Turkish President Erdogan first before deciding next steps.
While the agenda and duration remain uncertain, the talks mark the first direct attempt at peace since early 2022.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions may extend beyond Thursday depending on their progress.
Putin is not going to Istanbul to meet Zelenskyy, so who will represent Russia?
Vladimir Putin will not travel to Turkey and is instead sending the deputy foreign affairs and defence ministers, the head of his military intelligence, and the presidential aide, who will lead the delegation, the Kremlin announced late on Wednesday.

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 Trump revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would “like” him to participate in Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, though he’s unsure due to his packed schedule, including a trip to the UAE. Trump expressed a willingness to attend if it would help “save lives,” despite his reservations. He also hinted at possible "good news" coming from peace efforts while speaking in Qatar. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed Russia’s readiness for peace talks, though delegates have not yet been named by Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed gratitude to Pope Leo XIV for offering to mediate global peace. In a heartfelt message on X, Zelensky called peace Ukraine’s “most sacred wish” and welcomed the Pope’s readiness to help end war. He reaffirmed Kyiv’s call for a full ceasefire and proposed a personal high-level meeting with Russia. The Pope had made his offer during an audience with Eastern Church pilgrims in Rome. His remarks are the latest in a string of Vatican efforts to reduce tensions worldwide and promote diplomacy over war.

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.

Turkey Boycott: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has publicly backed Pakistan during India’s Operation Sindoor, calling PM Shehbaz Sharif his “precious brother” and praising the rare friendship between their nations. The message sparked outrage across India, with calls for a total boycott of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Shehbaz Sharif thanked Erdogan on X, while reports confirmed that Turkish-made drones were used in the conflict. Indian travel platform Ixigo suspended bookings to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Though symbolic, the $400 million Indian tourism market loss could still impact Turkey’s economy and image.

In a shocking turn of events, reports indicate that Turkey has supplied Pakistan with advanced AsisGuard drones, which were reportedly used in attacks along the Indian border. These drone strikes mark a new chapter in the escalating India-Pakistan conflict. As tensions flare, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s support for Pakistan raises significant geopolitical questions. With India on high alert and military responses intensifying, the situation on the ground grows ever more precarious. Watch as this military technology shift and international involvement could potentially reshape the dynamics of South Asia’s most volatile region.

U.S- Iran War: United States may request Turkey to remain neutral and avoid interference in Syrian airspace if a conflict with Iran erupts, Hurriyet reports. The matter could be discussed during an upcoming meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Donald Trump. Erdoğan is reportedly opposed to any Israeli aggression against Iran, calling it regionally destabilizing. Trump is expected to visit Turkey in May following trips to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. If not, Erdoğan may head to Washington in June for crucial bilateral talks focused on the Middle East.

Tehran and European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal—Germany, the UK, and France—will meet in Istanbul on May 16 to discuss the Iran nuclear file and U.S.-Iran indirect talks. This marks the fourth round of consultations since 2024, after a delayed April meeting in Rome. The talks come after a round of Oman-mediated U.S.-Iran negotiations, with both sides reporting progress. With the deal’s snapback sanctions clause set to expire in October, European officials are considering invoking it—raising the stakes in what could be a turning point for the nuclear agreement.

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 this latest update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slams Ukraine for showing no sign of readiness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia. Despite Moscow’s openness to peace talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains a strict ban on any negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a move he implemented in October 2022 to stop separatism and control backchannel talks. Peskov insists that Ukraine must act, especially in light of its legal ban on direct talks.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified that no additional orders were given to prolong the ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated willingness to extend the truce if Moscow adhered to the terms, but both sides reported hundreds of attacks during the declared pause in hostilities.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says President Putin supports a Ukraine ceasefire, but only if Kiev guarantees control over extremist forces and halts militarization. The statement follows U.S. President Trump’s call to end hostilities, citing heavy casualties. Moscow insists that past agreements have been violated by Ukraine, though Russia continues to honor them. Putin also agreed to a 30-day pause on strikes against energy infrastructure, hinting at warmer U.S.-Russia ties. However, unresolved concerns over Ukraine’s military stance may still trigger retaliatory action from Moscow.
