Zelenskyy in Ankara: Concerns Raised Over Russian Delegation's Authority in Peace Talks

Zelenskyy's visit to Turkey for talks with Erdogan has drawn attention amid ongoing peace negotiations with Russia. The Ukrainian president expressed concerns about the Russian delegation's apparent lack of decision-making power, stating, "We need to understand the level of the Russian delegation, their mandate, and if they can do something themselves. We all know who makes decisions in Russia." This statement highlights the challenges in achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The meeting between Zelenskyy and Erdogan is expected to focus on diplomatic efforts and potential pathways to peace. The absence of Vladimir Putin from the talks further underscores the complexities of the situation.
