Moscow (dpa -Afx) – Shortly before the planned negotiations between Russia and Ukraine on Thursday in Turkey, Moscow continues to leave the question of the line -up. Chief chief Vladimir Putin had proposed direct conversations himself, but not said whether he would travel personally. In any case, according to the Russian daily “Kommersant” Foreign Minister Sergei Lawrow will not be present.
The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, on the other hand, had announced that he would personally wait for Putin. The latter has started the Ukraine war that has been going on for more than three years now and also had to end it, Selenskyj justified his demand for Putin’s participation. The demands of Putin’s personal participation also became internationally.
US President Donald Trump once again confirmed his willingness to come to Istanbul when there was a chance of a solution. He was “fully booked” on Thursday for his visit to the United Arab Emirates. “That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do it,” said Trump on the sidelines of his journey through the golf region.
