Peace talk fiasco

 I find this hilarious.  The Ukrainians and Russians agreed to meet in Turkey but didn't specify which city.

While Zelenskiy waited in vain for Putin in Ankara, the Russian negotiating team sat in Istanbul with no one to talk to on the Ukrainian side. Some 200 reporters milled around near the Dolmabahce Palace on the Bosphorus that the Russians had specified as the talks venue.  https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-trump-skip-ukraines-peace-talks-that-russian-leader-proposed-2025-05-14/

Meanwhile, they exchange insults.  Zelensky called the Russian delegation "theatrical" and a "laughing stock", while the Russians called Zelensky a "pathetic man", a "clown" and a "loser".  Russia mocks Zelensky over Putin no-show: "Pathetic loser"   Not a good sign.
