Also, he still did not answer whether he will fly to Istanbul for negotiations with Vladimir Zelensky and has several reasons for this.
60 > It is important to understand that negotiations are needed, but not their imitation. This opinion was expressed by the Chairman of the Council of Reservists of the APU of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ivan Timochko, noting that Putin was engaged in imitation all this time. ~ 60 > 60 ~ h2 class = “News-Subtitle Cke-Markup” > why the Kremlin is afraid of meetings in Turkey
< p >Vladimir Putin certainly did not hope that there would be just such a reaction of the Ukrainian president. Another surprise is the reaction of the leader of Türkiye Recep Erdogan. As you know, the Ukrainian president expressed his willingness to meet in Istanbul, and Erdogan supported such an idea.
~ 60 > In fact, such meetings are prepared for a very long time, because this is a large load on the state that accepts them. Various military, diplomatic, and power structures also work intensively. Moreover, Putin always arrives with a huge retinue that you need to take.
< p class = "Bloquote Cke-Markup" > Most likely, the dictator thought that neither Ukraine nor Turkey would agree. It is clear why he chose Istanbul. This is a reference to the so -called “Istanbul agreements” in 2022, which have been repeatedly refuted, – emphasized Ivan Timochko. < p > 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 >In addition, Putin did not expect such a quick reaction of the United States. Therefore, he found himself in a rather difficult situation. If he goes to Istanbul, he will show weakness to his people. If he does not go, he will confirm to the whole world that he wants to continue the war.
< h2 class = "News-subtitle cke-markup" > why Putin is silent
~ 60 > most likely, now the military-political leadership is thinking. How to behave in such a situation. Perhaps we will hear statements with reference to technical reasons why Putin allegedly will not be able to come. But it is not necessary to exclude that the silence of the dictator is connected precisely with the preparation for the flight to Turkey.
~ 60 > Another nuance is that Putin can be afraid of the international tribunal. Back in 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an order to arrest him. So, we must take into account such nuances.
< p class = "Bloquote Cke-Markup" > and the third “surprise” for Putin was that Trump expressed a desire to appear at this meeting. There was a number of factors that were difficult to imagine a few days ago, ”said Ivan Timochko.
~ 60 > Ukraine was not led to the so -called short -term“ truce ”, which Russia wanted to use only to strengthen its units at the front. There is a clear position of the West on the establishment of a 30-day ceasefire and negotiations. So far, Russia ignores all this.
< p > However, it is increasingly difficult for Putin to evade answers. In addition, the United States see Russia's relationship with China. More and more countries are involved in the negotiation process, and the head of the Kremlin has fewer the field for maneuver.
~ 60 > By the way, Trump's special representative Steve Whitkoff said that Ukraine and Russia should meet in Istanbul and sit at the negotiating table as soon as possible. This is the only chance to resolve the situation. Otherwise, the United States threatened to leave the negotiation process.
