Zelensky:

It is obvious that the Russian delegation that arrived in Istanbul is of a very low level. It does not include a single person who really makes decisions in Russia. Despite this, I sent our team, led by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, to Istanbul – at least to find out whether those Russians are really capable of resolving something.

Zelensky:

Ukraine is ready to take all realistic steps to end this war. I call on Putin to give his delegation real powers.

Negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation have been completed, the delegations have dispersed, statements for the press are being prepared.
