Russia-Ukraine Negotiations Ended after 75 Minutes

Russia-Ukraine Negotiations Ended after 75 Minutes

The Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul ended after 75 minutes.

Unlike the first meeting, where Ukraine insisted on a "translator" to translate from Ukraine-to-Russian and vice-versa (even though they are, ostensibly the same language)  - this meeting was conducted in Russian language.  So that farce is over.

The two sides agreed to another prisoner exchange. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov states following today’s peace talks in Istanbul, that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to a “all-for-all” exchange of seriously wounded and ill prisoners of war, as well as all servicemembers aged 18–25. He adds that both sides have also agreed to begin exchanging the bodies of servicemembers 6,000 by 6,000.

The two sides agreed to meet to "talk" again.

What was accomplished? Almost nothing.

Ukraine gave Russia its written proposal for peace.

Russia gave Ukraine its proposal for peace. (Which has STILL not been released publicly)

The sides agreed on a prisoner exchange.

The meeting ended.

Hal Turner Analysis

This entire "meeting" could have been done via a ten minute telephone call and an email.  Instead, both sides had to gather, with global media, in Istanbul, Turkey, to accomplish . . . . what?

It is my considered opinion that both sides know this peace negotiation is a farce.  Neither Ukraine nor Russia want peace. 

Ukraine is under the delusion they can win.  Russia is grounded in the reality that Russia WILL win.  It will just be more expensive in materiel and lives.

It seems clear to me there is no Diplomatic solution to this problem.  Ukraine's proposed Peace Plan (HERE) makes that clear. 

I take today's events to mean the end to this conflict will happen when Ukraine is completely defeated and can fight no more.  I do not see any hope AT ALL of it ending sooner.

In related news, Russian President Putin stated publicly this morning that only four percent (4%) of Russia's strategic Bomber aircraft fleet was destroyed in yesterday's Ukraine drone strikes.   141 Ukrainian drones used in those strikes were destroyed by Russian air defenses.

Ukraine may have WANTED to destroy 40 Russian Bombers, it appears they only destroyed five.

The conflict, therefore, continues.
