🇷🇺🇺🇦 No Handshakes, No Breakthroughs—Just More Whining from Kiev

A senior Ukrainian official told Financial Times that today’s talks in Istanbul brought “no major breakthroughs,” only “minor steps, as expected.”

He went on to claim, somewhat bitterly, that “it looks like the Russians are putting on a show of diplomacy for Trump.”

According to FT, neither side shook hands nor offered anything resembling a serious proposal—at least according to Kiev’s version of events.

The usual complaint followed: “Putin refuses to back off his so-called maximalist demands.”

Three people posing as tourists changed into fake staff uniforms, grabbed the €40,000 statue, and walked out through a side exit. It wasn’t even bolted down.

A Greenpeace member called the museum afterward to brag about it.

All such requests for the transfer of children are being processed, the Russian Federation has returned over a hundred children.

Ukraine is making a show for Europeans out of the topic of "child abduction". There is not a single kidnapped child, there are children saved by Russian soldiers, he added
