Zelensky Humiliates Putin, Calls Him ‘Afraid’ In Front Of EU Leaders As Istanbul Talks Collapse
Zelensky delivered a stunning rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being "afraid" to attend critical peace talks in Turkey.
Speaking after the Istanbul summit collapsed with no major breakthroughs, Zelensky told European leaders—including French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz—that he was ready for a face-to-face meeting, but Putin chose to hide behind subordinates.

Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks in over three years on Friday in Turkey, marking a rare diplomatic engagement since the war began. Though the meeting lasted under two hours and yielded no major breakthroughs, both sides agreed to a significant 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Ukraine is pushing for direct talks between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Each side will now submit a ceasefire proposal. While Ukrainian officials dismissed Russia’s demands as “non-starters,” both nations signaled a cautious willingness to keep talks alive.

The highly anticipated peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul have ended abruptly after less than two hours, with no sign of progress. Ukrainian sources described Russia’s demands—reportedly including a withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from their own territory-as “unrealistic” and “detached from reality.”

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.

Trump took a swipe at Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron over their Victory Day celebrations, claiming that while Russia and France were celebrating, it was America that actually won World War II. In a fiery remark, Trump said, "They helped, but without us, they’d be speaking German — maybe a little Japanese too"

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.

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.
