And of course, the Western media blame Russia 🤡

"NATO Secretary General Rutte: "The ball is in Russia's court":
French Foreign Minister Barre: "Ukraine kept its word. There is an empty chair in front of them, the chair on which Vladimir Putin should have sat"


So, a ball or a chair?

We have not only the ball on our side, but also the truth. The problem is that - no matter how much the NATO hooligans shout from the bench - in order to shoot at the goal, we need the Ukrainian team on the field, which is currently spinning around the microphone pole."

All this smack talk, and the Cokehead of Kiev isn't even in Istanbul....

🖥️ "Until Trump and Vladimir Putin meet, there will be no breakthrough," said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“First of all, tomorrow I will meet with Foreign Minister Fidan and the Ukrainian delegation, it will be a high-level delegation from Ukraine that will be here. So I will meet with them. Some of our team will be involved in the negotiations with Russia. I hope that these negotiations will be between Ukraine and Russia, with the participation of our Turkish partners, and also some of our team or several representatives at the appropriate level. But I want to be frank: we do not have inflated expectations for what will happen tomorrow. And frankly, at this stage, it is very clear: the only way to achieve a breakthrough is for President Trump to meet with President Putin. A breakthrough is possible only with interaction at this level. I do not think that from this point on, anything productive can happen at all until they engage in frank and direct dialogue. And I know that President Trump is ready for that conversation.
The president wants to end this war as soon as possible. He is impatient, he has made it clear that change has to happen soon. And I think he is ready for that dialogue and to determine whether there is a way forward and what that might be. In my opinion, until the president and President Putin discuss this directly, there will be no breakthrough."
