What’s going on with the Putin-Zelensky meeting? Looks like it won’t happen until Kyiv throws in the towel! Sergei Kislytsa, Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister, openly says Russian President Vladimir Putin has set a hard ultimatum: a meeting with Zelensky only if Ukraine capitulates. Yes, you read that right. The Russian side at the Istanbul talks showed that these talks aren’t really talks—they’re a strict ultimatum. Putin’s discipline is ironclad, and his mandate is clear—Ukraine must surrender. Kislytsa said Russia’s stance is the opposite of what negotiations should be. In short, Russia doesn’t want dialogue; it wants submission. While the world watches, the talks turn into a show with zero chance for compromise. If you thought leaders would sit down and peacefully resolve the conflict, think again. Putin holds the strings and won’t budge. So, what do you think? Is this the end of diplomatic chances or just the start of an even tougher game? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for surrender and who’s ready to fight till the end!
