Istanbul Talks Postponed: Is Peace Process in Jeopardy?

Negotiations in Istanbul Postponed Amidst Concerns of Derailment On May 15th, 2025, negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul were postponed to the afternoon. This delay sparked concerns about the potential for the talks to collapse. The Russian delegation, unusually, included a large number of military and intelligence officials. This raised questions about the seriousness of Russia's commitment to the peace process. One expert commented, "The presence of so many military personnel suggests that Russia may be less interested in a diplomatic resolution and more focused on other objectives." The video also highlights the conflicting statements made by Ukrainian officials, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations. The situation remains fluid, with the outcome still uncertain. The international community is watching closely to see if these crucial talks can resume and lead to a peaceful resolution.
