Tensions flared as Russia and Ukraine traded insults just before their first direct peace talks in over three years.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia’s delegation a “Dummy team,” while Moscow fired back, labeling him a “clown” and “pathetic.” Putin is skipping the talks despite global pressure, instead sending a hardliner historian who denies Ukraine’s nationhood.
Talks will take place in Istanbul’s Dolmabahce Palace under strict watch.
With emotions high and leadership absent, hopes for a breakthrough remain fragile.
