Zelensky Refuses to Meet Putin’s Delegation in Istanbul: Zelensky Bows Out After Erdogan Meeting
Zelensky has announced he will not personally attend the upcoming peace talks with Russia in Istanbul, opting instead to send a delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
Zelensky cited concerns over the legitimacy of the Russian delegation—headed by Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky—calling it a potential “sham” with no real mandate to make decisions.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck central Türkiye during high-stakes peace talks between Presidents Zelensky and Erdogan. The quake was strongly felt in Ankara, Konya, and nearby cities, prompting swift emergency response. Authorities, including Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya and Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavas, confirmed no casualties or major damage. AFAD teams have begun field assessments. Residents were urged to remain calm. Türkiye, situated on active fault lines, remains vigilant following the devastation of the February 2023 earthquakes. The next round of peace negotiations is now set for Istanbul, away from the quake’s epicenter.

In a major twist, Russia has signaled readiness to resume direct peace talks with Ukraine, with Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky stating Moscow is open to "discussion and possible compromises." Speaking from Istanbul ahead of the highly anticipated negotiations, Medinsky is leading a senior delegation including top defense and intelligence officials. This comes after President Putin’s recent proposal to restart dialogue—sparking speculation of a strategic U-turn in Moscow’s stance.

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.

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.
