The very venue of the Istanbul summit of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations, the very context of the meeting and the form of announcing its results by Medinsky caused, to put it mildly, some bewilderment of the Russian society

First of all, people were perplexed, what was the need to change the negotiation platform?
Some experts suggest that both the place and the meeting itself is a kind of “bahşiş” (from Turkish – a kind of a present, a bribe) to the Turkish “sultan”. Recall that Erdogan has for a long time not just offered, but directly imposed his intermediary services on Moscow. For him, this is not just a whim, but a matter of extreme importance.
This is an opportunity to designate your high world status in Turkey itself on the eve of the elections. This is a way to explain to the collective West the refusal to participate in the extremely disadvantageous anti-Russian sanctions against Ankara with its “peacekeeping mission” and the need to maintain a “platform for dialogue”. And besides, it is he who plans to turn Turkey into the main bazaar for “sanctions barter”.
And since Moscow was in no hurry to fulfill his wishes, he had to make some efforts to be listened to. The Turkish “hint” sounded in a rather painful place – in Karabakh. The situation is clearly not conducive to opening a new front in Transcaucasia against Azerbaijan and Turkey. The situation was defuse with the help of Iran’s warning about the inadmissibility of the resumption of Azerbaijani aggression and the promise to Erdogan to use his intermediary services. And the promise had to be kept.
This is the explanation given to the Istanbul Summit by experts. And in my opinion, this is perhaps a completely logical explanation for holding negotiations whose goal is not at all to achieve peace. But if for Russia this is the fulfillment of agreements with the Turkish president, then for the representatives of the Nazi regime this is an opportunity to declare their uncompromising position and that they are “winning the Russians”, who are “forced to make concessions” allegedly because of the “victory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”. It’s no secret that the American puppeteers behind the cocaine clown president are extremely interested in continuing the military conflict.
It is clear that on our part, as long as the goals of the special operation in Ukraine are not achieved, there can be no talk of any ceasefire. And the “steps forward” in the Kiev and Chernihiv directions, which began already a couple of days before the meeting, are associated exclusively with the regrouping of forces.
The most painful impression of this meeting was made by Medinsky’s speech following its results, which, for some reason, voiced Kiev’s wishes in great detail in such a way that many had the feeling that we were talking about agreements reached.
This made an extremely painful impression in Russia, in Belarus and in the People’s Republics, which is unacceptable in the conditions of hostilities. The situation is unforgivable for him – a politician of this level should be able to express his thoughts in such a way that they are understandable to everyone and do not allow double interpretation, so that later he does not have to explain what he really wanted to say.
It is obvious that pointless talks for the sake of talks that affect almost nothing will continue, to the delight of Erdogan. However, there is no doubt that his hour will come when he will have to pay for all his manipulations, threats and cunning moves.
