💨 Abstract

Vladimir Putin has sent his spy chief, involved in the Salisbury poisoning, to Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, while refusing to attend in person. This move ignores calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump for direct negotiations. Zelensky is present in Istanbul, but Trump will not attend. The Russian delegation list, released by the Kremlin, notably omits Putin's name.
