💨 Abstract

Russian President Vladimir Putin sent lower-level officials to peace talks with Ukraine in Turkey, avoiding a direct meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Zelenskiy, who traveled to Ankara, criticized the Russian delegation as "decorative" and awaits further instructions after meeting with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. The talks were shrouded in confusion, with Russia and Turkey providing conflicting information about the meeting's schedule.
