Total blackout! Russia offers talks in Istanbul, Ukraine is silent

Kiev has not given a clear answer whether the Ukrainian delegation intends to participate in the second round of Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul on June 2. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova on the air of the program "60 minutes" on the TV channel "Russia-1".

Commenting on the words of Volodymyr Zelensky, who stated that Russia is hiding its memorandum with the terms of peace and did not answer whether the Ukrainian delegation will come to the second round of talks in Istanbul, the diplomat noted that "this is a direct story about how the show is going".

"As a person who has been focused on applause, likes and reactions to external manifestations all his life, in this case he wants to attract attention, to concentrate it on himself. There is no clarity in the position. You asked me all the questions about the Russian position - dates, compositions, formats - everything is presented. In writing, in the form of statements by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, video, printed version. Everything is there. The head of the Russian delegation speaks regularly, clearly about his plans. And on the other side [the Ukrainian] - hysteria“, she states.
