RUSSIA: Delegation Statement Incoming; 'Still Chance To Start Negotiations' Tass
State-run Tass reports that the Russian delegation is set to make a press statement in Istanbul 'soon' (no time yet), while a Tass source says that 'The chance for the start of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul remains.' While delegations from Russia and Ukraine are still in Istanbul, talks that were due to start this morning have yet to get underway, with uncertainty regarding the low ranking of the Russian delegation and Ukraine's willingness to meet with these officials (President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called them 'stand-in props') raising the prospect that talks do not even begin.
- Speaking on Air Force One some time ago, US President Donald Trump said, "Look, nothing's going to happen until Putin and I get together. Okay? And obviously he wasn't going to go. He was going to go, but he thought I was going to go. He wasn't going if I wasn't there and I don't believe anything's going to happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together, but we're going to have to get it solved because too many people are dying."
