Zelenskyy accuses Putin of sending ‘stand-in props’ to Turkey talks

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accuses Russia of sending “stand-in props” to peace talks in Turkey after Moscow confirms Putin will not attend, the BBC writes.

Zelenskyy, who has just arrived in Ankara, had challenged Putin to meet him, saying he would only attend the talks if Putin was there.

To remind, the meeting between Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. delegations will begin today.
