No Putin, No Negotiations: Zelensky's Advisor

If Russian President Vladimir Putin does not arrive in Istanbul, it is likely that Volodymyr Zelensky will also not participate in the direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. This was stated by Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak.

“If there is no Putin, there will be no negotiations at the presidential level. The decision will be made by the president. Zelensky can only speak with Putin, because it is about decisions and responsibility,” he said.
