11.05.2025 ⇢ Day Putin's Olive Branch Creates Diplomatic Whirlwind
⌨
Russian state media extensively covered Putin's proposal for direct peace negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15, framing it as Putin outmaneuvering Zelensky. The offer, described as resuming talks interrupted in 2022, generated immediate international reactions. Trump urged Ukraine to accept "immediately," calling it potentially "a great day" for both countries, while Macron deemed it insufficient.
By midday, Erdogan confirmed Turkey's willingness to host the talks after discussing the initiative with Putin. Russian media simultaneously reported over 14,000 Ukrainian ceasefire violations during the Victory Day truce.
By evening, Zelensky conditionally agreed to meet Putin personally in Turkey on Thursday, but demanded a ceasefire first. Meanwhile, Russian media reported Ukrainian strikes on Rylsk in Kursk region, with injuries reported.
The proposal marked a significant shift from previous days' focus on Victory Day celebrations and competing ceasefire proposals between Russia and Ukraine.
