US opposes Zelensky attendance at NATO summit – media

Ukraine’s membership reportedly won’t be on the June meeting’s agenda

The US is against inviting Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky to the NATOsummit in The Hague next month, Italy’s ANSA news agency reported on Wednesday, citing anonymous diplomatic sources.

Kiev has long sought membership in the US-led military bloc - something Russia considers a fundamental threat to its national security. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly described the prevention of such a scenario as one of Moscow’s top objectives in the Ukraine conflict.

Since assuming office in January, US President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions ruled out Ukraine’s accession to NATO in the foreseeable future.

In its article, ANSA reported that “for now…a NATO-Ukraine Council at the level of leaders is not planned,” adding, however, that no final decision has been made yet. According to the publication, Kiev could participate in some of the meetings on June 24-25, but only at the level of foreign and defense ministers.

The Italian outlet reported that for the time being the only non-member states that have received invitations are Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.

ANSA also reported that “at the moment, a very concise program is expected at the summit, in contrast to what has happened in recent years, to avoid possible friction with Donald Trump.”

Zelensky joined NATO leaders for sessions of the NATO-Ukraine Council at the 2023 Vilnius Summit and the 2024 Washington Summit.

Also on Wednesday, Bloomberg quotedunnamed diplomats familiar with the matter as saying that membership for Ukraine will not be on the agendaduring the upcoming gathering in the Netherlands, with the main focus expected to be on ramping up defense spending.The outlet similarly reported that the NATO summit in June will likely be shorter than the previous meetings.

Speaking during a press conference last Friday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that “we never agreed that, as part of a peace deal, there would be guaranteed NATO membership for Ukraine.”

He emphasized that Ukraine’s accession to the bloc had been agreed upon by its members, but “for the longer term, not for the peace negotiations ongoing at the moment.”

Rutte noted, however, that NATO maintains close cooperation with Kiev with respect to military aid and personnel training.

(I know why Trump and Marco made them work it out on their own. Every time Zelensky, Putin or Trump talked about Ukraine and Russia, Zelensky would makes up lies, insults, in threats, and the whole issue was filling up the American Media, that’s what Zelensky wanted. He’s now denied the attention and has to make this work.)

Kremlin names delegation for Ukraine talks

The team will be led by Vladimir Medinsky, who headed the Russian team during the negotiations in 2022

Russian President Vladimir Putin late on Wednesday named the country’s delegation for proposed talks with Ukraine, expected to take place in Istanbul the next day.

The team will be led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who headed Moscow’s side during negotiations with Kiev in 2022. The delegation also includes Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Defense Minister Aleksandr Fomin and the head of Russia’s military intelligence, Igor Kostyukov.

Apart from the negotiators themselves, Putin unveiled a team of experts who will also participate. It is composed of several senior military and civil officials, as well as diplomats.

Earlier in the day, Ukrainian media reports indicated the country’s leader Vladimir Zelensky was set to travel to Istanbul alongside several top officials, including his head of office Andrey Yermak, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga. The exact composition of the negotiating team, however, is expected to be determined by Zelensky on the spot.

Putin offered on Sunday to resume direct talks with Kiev, stating that only negotiations could lead to “some kind of new truce and a new ceasefire.”

“We are set on serious negotiations with Ukraine. Their aim is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and to achieve a long-term lasting peace for a historical perspective,” the president said.

The offer got a mixed reaction from Ukraine and its supporters, who continued to insist that talks be preceded by at least a 30-day truce. After the proposal was backed by US President Donald Trump, however, Zelensky proclaimed his readiness to negotiate with the Russian president “personally” in Istanbul.

The Kremlin announcement of its team was met withapparent disappointment in Kiev. Zelensky’s aide Mikhail Podoliak launched a personal attack on Medinsky, claiming the Russian official was not the right figure to discuss unspecified “fundamental issues.”

“No, of course not, that’s not the format. The president can’t meet, especially with Medinsky – the status won’t be entirely clear,” Podoliak stated.

KEK, Putin is not going, Zelensky is and he’s upset about who Putin sent, only reason why is Zelensky was going to act insanely there, and argue with him. Putin prefers for him to do his thing

Zelensky claims ban on Russia talks doesn’t apply to him

The Ukrainian leader has demanded a meeting with Putin despite a 2022 decree barring negotiations

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky hasclaimed that a law he signed banning negotiations with Russia does not apply to him personally, after calling for a direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Putin doesn't want to be assassinated by the insane Nazi's)

Zelensky intends to travel to Türkiye later this week, where direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are expected to resume for the first time since Kiev suspended talks in 2022.He has insisted that Putin must attend the talks in person to prove that Moscow has a genuine interest in peace.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Zelensky rejected claims that his outreach contradicts Ukrainian law.A September 2022 decree, endorsed by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council and signed by Zelensky, prohibits negotiations with Russia while Putin remains in office. The law was introduced as Kiev pursued a military victory in the conflict.

”It’s a Russian narrative that I cannot speak with Putin,” Zelensky said. “Nobody but me can conduct negotiations on sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, on our course.”

Zelensky claimed in January that the ban was intended to prevent unauthorized negotiations by other Ukrainian officials, particularly to curb separatist influences and “shadow” negotiation channels. Russian officials have pointed to the law as evidence that Kiev is unwilling to engage diplomatically.

The Ukrainian Constitution bars elections during wartime and requires that presidential authority pass to the speaker of parliament if no legal successor is chosen. Zelensky’s presidential term expired last year, yet he remains in power, dismissing opponents as Kremlin sympathizers for questioning his legitimacy.

Moscow has described Zelensky’s political status as an internal Ukrainian matter but cautioned that any treaties he signs could be challenged for lacking legitimacy. US President Donald Trump, whose administration has offered to broker a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow, has described Zelensky as “a dictator without elections.”

The US has conducted multiple rounds of talks with Moscow and Kiev, promoting trust-building measures such as a 30-day moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure. Russia says its forces adhered fully to the plan, while accusing Ukraine of violating the partial ceasefire multiple times.

US officials have called direct talks the next logical step in the Ukraine peace process. Senior American negotiators will reportedly observe the meeting in Istanbul. Kiev has urged its Western supporters to impose additional sanctions on Russia, should Putin decline to attend. Moscow has yet to confirm its delegation.

This is Putin is not showing up, Zelensky banned it, he wrote the law, Putin won’t be put in this trap.The idiot dictator, fell into his own lying trap.

Russian delegation will be waiting for Ukrainians in Istanbul – Kremlin

The names of the officials representing Moscow will be announced in due time, Dmitry Peskov has said

Moscow will be sending a delegation for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday and expects Kiev to do the same, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to resume direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev to find a lasting settlement to the conflict between the two countries. After his proposal was supported by US President Donald Trump, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who had previously ruled out any talks with Moscow, also expressed his readiness.

Kiev earlier stated that the only official Zelensky would talk to is Putin. The Russian president has so far made no indication that he is planning to travel to Istanbul.

When asked by journalists on Wednesday if the talks in Türkiye were still on the cards, Peskov replied by saying:“Indeed, the Russian delegation will be waiting for the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul on Thursday, May 15, that is – tomorrow.”

“I can confirm once again that everything that the president said in his statement on May 11… remains relevant,” he stressed.

Peskov declined to reveal the lineup of the Russian delegation that will travel to Istanbul. It will be announced “when we receive instructions from the president. So far, there have been no such instructions,” he explained.

On Tuesday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that, during potential talks,Moscow wants to discuss “a sustainable settlement of the situation, first of all, by addressing the very roots of this conflict, resolving issues related to the denazification of the Kiev regime, ensuring recognition of the realities that have developed recently, including the entry of new territories into Russia.”(Zelensky want’s it to be drama for more propaganda, he’s not going to get his wish)==

Ryabkov refrained from making any forecasts on the outcome of discussions, but stressed that Moscow is committed to negotiating “seriously and responsibly.”

Putin announces team for Russia-Ukraine talks in Türkiye: Live Updates

Moscow and Kiev have not held direct negotiations since meeting in Istanbul in April 2022

The first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in more than three years are scheduled to take place in Türkiye’s largest city, Istanbul, on Thursday.On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to resume direct dialogue between Moscow and Kiev in order to find a lasting settlement to the ongoing conflict that would address its root causes.

After US President Donald Trump supported the proposal and said Kiev should accept it “immediately,” Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who had previously ruled out any talks with Moscow, also expressed his readiness to travel to Istanbul.

Kiev had earlier stated that the only official from Moscow that Zelensky would talk to is Putin. However, the Russian president has so far made no indication that he is planning to travel to Türkiye.

Moscow and Ukraine last talked to each other in April 2022, also in Istanbul. Russia, which initially expressed satisfaction with the results of that meeting and withdrew its forces from the outskirts of Kiev as a goodwill gesture, later accused Ukraine of backtracking on the progress achieved in Türkiye, saying it had lost trust in Kiev’s negotiators.

Russian officials, including President Putin, later blamed the West and, in particular, then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for derailing the peace process, saying he had urged Kiev to “just continue fighting.”

Zelensky made the law that he and no one else in Ukraine will ever talk to Putin, the law is still on the books, he made da rules, he has to abide by them!

Zelensky’s regime only stable when at war – former senior UN official

Moscow can’t trust Kiev to live up to its part of any agreement, and a third-party guarantor is needed, Sergey Ordzhonikidze has told RT

Vladimir Zelensky’s regime enjoys relative stability only because of the conflict with Russia, and so may be reluctant to seal a peace agreement with Moscow, former director-general of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Sergey Ordzhonikidze, has told RT.

The untrustworthiness of the Ukrainian leadership will loom large for the Russian delegation during an expected meeting in Istanbul, Türkiye, on Thursday, the veteran diplomat predicted on Tuesday.

The talks were originally proposed last week by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who offered to resume direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev without any preconditions to reach a lasting settlement to the Ukraine conflict.

Zelensky has expressed his readiness to engage in dialogue with the Russian side, but has insisted that it be preceded by an unconditional 30-day ceasefire – a demand Moscow has repeatedly rejected. Zelensky has also said that he would only come to the meeting in Istanbul if Putin attends in person.

Ordzhonikidze told RT that should a peace accord be reached during the negotiations, “I don’t know how long the Zelensky regime will [last]. It may fall apart.”

“He obviously will have many internal problems because… he has some Nazi, fascist organizations that would [convict] him of betrayal,” he predicted, claiming that “it’s not a stable regime in the sense that it can be stable only during war.”

The seasoned Russian diplomat also predicted thatonce Western leaders see Zelensky as a liability, they will get rid of him without a second thought.

History shows that months and in some cases even years of “homework” have underpinned successful negotiations. While overnight breakthroughs have also happened, much is determined by the level of trust between the parties concerned, Ordzhonikidze stressed.

Ukrainian authorities have a poor track record in this respect, he told RT, citing the 2014-2015 Minsk agreements, which were supposed to grant Donetsk and Lugansk regions special status within the Ukrainian state, but were never implemented.

”Obviously, we need a country that would act like a… guarantor of the… possible agreement, if any at all,” Ordzhonikidze stated, noting thateven if some nation, most likely the US, assumes the role, there is not much room for optimism as to whether Kiev would honor any agreement.

Kiev wants to trade civilians for neo-Nazis – Russian spy agency

Dozens of Kursk Region residents were captured by Ukrainian forces during a cross-border incursion last year

Ukraine is stalling the return of civilians capturedin Russia’s Kursk Regionto use them as bargaining chips in a potential swap for fighters from the notorious neo-Nazi Azov unit, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said.

Dozens of captured civilians remain in Kiev’s custody following its incursion into Russian territory last August. Ukrainian forces captured several towns and villages before being pushed back. On April 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the full liberation of Kursk Region, saying Ukraine had suffered heavy losses.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, theSVR cited intelligence suggesting that Kiev plans to delay the civilians’ return “for as long as possible.” People close to Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, it added, see them as a “valuable asset” that could be exchanged for “something more substantial from Moscow than wounded and unfit-for-combat prisoners of war.”

According to the agency, Kiev hopes to leverage the detainees in talks to secure the release of fighters from the Azov brigade – a nationalist unit designated a terrorist organization in Russia – who have been convicted of serious crimes.

Originally formed as a volunteer unit of radical nationalists, Azov rose to prominence following the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, reportedly becoming a central part of an international white supremacist network. The Ukrainian government incorporated it into the National Guard the same year.

As of March, more than 140 Azov members had been convicted by Russian courts, according to Investigative Committee head Aleksandr Bastrykin.

The SVR said Kiev is “cynically” exploiting the fact that Russia has no similar “trump card” in the form of captured Ukrainian civilians and claims this increases itschances of “forcing the Kremlin to play by their rules and agree to exchange the Kursk civilians for Azov fighters.”

In March, Ukraine released more than 30 civilians, mostly elderly, along with four children. Russia’s human rights commissioner, Tatyana Moskalkova, said at the time that Moscow would continue pressing for the return of all the remaining detainees.

Last October, she reported receiving over a thousand inquiries from families searching for missing civilians.

The Russian Investigative Committee has reported incidents of looting, arson, and shootings of civilians by Ukrainian troops during the incursion.
