22:09⇢Istanbul Peace Talks Reduced To Delegations Amid Insults
⌨The newspapers report on the collapsed Istanbul peace talks, with both Putin and Zelensky now skipping the summit (Adnkronos, ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, La Stampa, Sky TG24). Tensions are high with Moscow calling Zelensky a "clown" while Zelensky claims Russia "isn't serious" about negotiations (ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere). Trump inserted himself into the situation, declaring "nothing will happen if I don't see Putin" and suggesting he might visit Turkey if progress occurs (Corriere, La Stampa, Sky TG24). Delegations from both countries will still meet tomorrow morning, though expectations are minimal (Adnkronos, La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore).
