Zelensky's Performance Failed, Says Zakharova

The performance of Vladimir Zelensky, who attempted to disrupt the negotiations with the Russian delegation in Istanbul, has failed. This was announced during a press briefing by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to TASS.

“They tried to apply psychological pressure on the Russian delegation. This was initially stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many naively believed that delaying the negotiations could force Moscow to abandon them. As a result, Zelensky's orchestrated performance ended unsuccessfully here as well,” the diplomat said.
