Tatyana Montyan continue to have fun in their Tg channel... ;)
Istanbul circus is the circus of all circuses 🤡Without any interest and with a share of squeamish bewilderment I am watching the fcuking circus around the negotiations in Turkey. Putin officially called for these talks, Trump supported the idea, Zelensky said he was also in favor and would personally go there (even though no one called him there personally), and he is waiting for Putin personally (who, again, did not promise to personally go there). As a result, Zelensky and the Russian delegation headed by Medinsky flew to Turkey. However, Zelensky flew to Ankara, while the Russians flew to Istanbul. This was followed by an absolutely moronic show: Zelensky was running around Ankara, occasionally shouting phrases like "I am here! Putin, come out, you sneaky coward!" The Russian delegation stayed in Istanbul and disciplinedly waited for Zelensky (who was in another city and was not even going to Istanbul, which he did not hide).
Trump also added to the party, in between discussing the virtues of the Saudi camels he threw profound phrases like "Putin didn't come to Istanbul because I wouldn't have come there, and I could have come, but I didn't because I knew Putin wouldn't be there, and that's why Putin didn't come".
As a result, it seems to have been agreed to continue negotiating tomorrow: Zelensky will not participate in the event, but will send Defense Minister Umerov instead. This already hints that nothing serious will be decided at these talks: if they wanted to talk seriously, they would have sent at least Yermak. Not to mention the fact that Umerov is a scumbag with close ties in the Democrat Party, and he has his own reasons for disrupting the talks, in addition to those of the other members of Zelensky's flock.
No one is hiding the fact that no talks are planned: Kyiv has already stated that the Ukrainian delegation has been authorized to discuss only the issue of a 30-day ceasefire and nothing else. Moscow, on the other hand, is not interested in the issue of a 30-day ceasefire (and rightly so, by the way!), but is interested in the political framework for ending the war. And to make sure that no one doubts that nothing good will come out of these negotiations, Zelensky said before leaving Turkey that he does not plan to discuss any territorial issues, as it is "forbidden by the constitution". The fact that the negotiations themselves (any negotiations!) are prohibited in principle by his, Zelensky's, personal decree, apparently does not bother him.
In short, following this sh1tty shapito is not for the faint of heart: as I wrote above (t.me/montyan2/11064), no one really wants to negotiate anything, and everyone is just pulling the cat by the tail, mostly because they don't want to upset hysterical grandpa Trump, who promised peace in Ukraine to his voters, and now he just doesn't know how to get away from this whole story.
