Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia on Thursday of failing to deliver a promised peace memorandum more than a week after it was expected, calling Moscow’s delay a deliberate attempt to sabotage negotiations.

Zelenskyy stressed ongoing coordination with the U.S., European countries, and Türkiye ahead of the proposed second round of peace talks in Istanbul on June 2. However, he warned Russia’s stalling tactics are aimed at buying time and undermining the peace process.
“They are doing everything they can to make the meetings futile,” Zelenskyy said, urging stronger sanctions on Moscow for its actions.
