Vladimir Putin will not attend the high-stakes Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul. Instead, Kremlin aide and nationalist figure Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian delegation, reigniting debate over Russia's negotiation sincerity. Medinsky, known for his controversial historical views, previously led failed 2022 talks with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky insists only Putin’s presence signals real intent. He refuses to meet lower-tier officials. Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to skip the event. The absence of top leaders adds doubt over whether Istanbul's negotiations will yield any breakthrough in the ongoing war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?

NATO General Mark Rutte slammed Russia for sending a ‘low-level’ delegation to the Peace talks being held in Istanbul. Rutte also objected to Vladimir Putin not attending the talks, especially when Zelensky was present, calling it a missed opportunity. He added that Ukraine was ready for peace, but the ball was in Russia’s court.

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.

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.
