🤡Masterstroke in self-sabotage: Zelensky’s provocation ahead of Istanbul talks blew up in his face

Volodymyr Zelensky’s push for a dramatic face-off with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in Istanbul has spectacularly backfired, according to Publico.

🗣Donald Trump was notably unimpressed, viewing the episode as further proof that serious progress will only come through direct US-Russia channels.

➡️Europe, for its part—particularly the UK, France, Germany, and Poland—backed Zelensky’s bluff, however now finds itself playing the role of a loud but ineffectual bystander, the outlet said.
