Media: Russians Insulted The Turkish Side At The Talks In Istanbul

Medinsky brought papers from the 2022 negotiations.

The Russian delegation, led by an aide to Russian dictator Vladimir Medinsky, at talks with Ukraine in Istanbul had papers from previous talks in 2022 and threatened to increase the number of attachments fivefold, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing sources familiar with the talks.

Sources familiar with the talks said that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke at the beginning, saying that these talks "lay the foundation for a meeting of leaders in the future."

"The Russians allowed themselves to insult the Turkish side, saying that they could stay at the talks if they wanted. As guests - they had no right to speak like that," the source told UP.

He also said that the speaker was mainly Medinsky, who "spoke at length and boldly" and made manipulative "historical excursions."

"Medinsky had with him the negotiation papers from 2022. He applied a pressure technique, saying that, 'you see, here are 17 pages together with the annexes, and the situation has changed so much in recent years that there may already be 85 pages.'" Such blackmail did not impress anyone," the UP interlocutor said.

The publication's sources also confirmed foreign media reports that at the meeting, the Russian side said that "it can fight indefinitely" and that "Ukraine should withdraw from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions".
