A Kremlin aide will attend Ukraine peace talks despite lack of Putin response to ceasefire
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not publicly responded to a recent ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. However, according to a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been pressing for a negotiated settlement, Putin is reportedly opposed to any ceasefire agreement. Despite this, Trump has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept the offer, and Zelenskyy is expected to participate in the upcoming talks.
Trump has expressed interest in joining the negotiations as well — but only if Putin chooses to attend, according to his special envoy, Keith Kellogg.
The war has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and Putin remains wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes related to the conflict.
Despite Putin’s absence, a Russian delegation led by Vladmir Medinsky, a close aide to the president, will still travel to Istanbul to participate in the scheduled negotiations, according to an official Kremlin announcement.
