Zelensky DITCHED by Erdogan? | Ukrainian President lands in Turkey ahead of Peace talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives in Turkey for high-stakes peace talks with a Russian delegation, but is unexpectedly snubbed by President Erdogan at the airport.
While Putin is absent, the Russian side is led by Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, a move Zelensky has criticized, questioning the delegation’s authority.
With Ukraine’s top intelligence officials present, the talks begin under tense optics.
Is this peace effort genuine—or political theatre?
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. Trump emphasized his flexibility and readiness to step in if diplomacy shows traction, hinting at a breakthrough in what many consider a stalled negotiation process.

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.

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.
