President Donald Trump said Thursday that Ukraine peace talks cannot advance until he and President Vladimir Putin meet, after Putin’s absence from the scheduled Istanbul negotiations left the process in limbo.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Ukraine peace negotiations cannot advance without a direct meeting between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One before landing in Dubai, Trump said, “Nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together,” after Putin failed to attend the scheduled Istanbul talks.
Putin’s absence—his second-tier delegation arrived in Turkey without clear authority—has cast doubt on the stalled process, which Kyiv’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described as hampered by decorative negotiators. Trump, in the midst of his Middle East tour, suggested he would travel to Türkiye “if appropriate” but underscored that true progress hinges on a summit with Putin.
