AI Summary:
Russian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Istanbul on May 15 for talks his Russian counterpart suggested days earlier. Russian president Vladimir Putin did not show up, nor his cabinet members. Russia cast aspersions on legitimacy of the Ukrainian team. Russian officials have used the extension to paint Zelenskyy as illegitimate. Russia’s stance has stirred suspicion that Moscow is laying the groundwork to eventually wriggle out of any future peace agreements. Moscow rejected both demands, proposing instead an exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war from each side. Russia is trying to set another precondition for a second round of talks. The surrendering of the four regions and neutrality – an agreement never to join NATO and the European Union – are among conditions Putin set in a speech last June. Putin outlined the next steps after speaking with United States President Donald Trump on the phone on Monday. US former ambassador to Kyiv Bridget Brink explained why she resigned her post last month. “Peace at any price is not peace at all. It’s appeasement,” she said. A 17th EU sanctions package came into force on Monday.
