Neither Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky or Russian President Vladimir Putin are attending peace talks in Istanbul after days of confusion. In a meeting in Albania, Zelensky said Putin was “afraid” to come to Turkey for talks and that Russian delegation in Istanbul is of a “very low level.

In a fiery interview, Trump tore into U.S. aid for Kyiv, saying Zelensky “doesn’t have the cards.” He claimed billions were being “pissed away” and mocked Congress for blindly backing the Ukrainian leader.
