13.05.2025Day Russian Delegation Awaits While Putin Dictates Terms
Russian media coverage focused extensively on the Istanbul peace talks scheduled for May 15, with the Kremlin announcing their delegation would wait for Ukrainian representatives there. Putin set steep conditions for Western businesses returning to Russia, stating "apologies aren't enough" and that Russia would find "a thousand reasons" to exclude unwanted companies.

Military operations remained a significant focus, with reports of Russia liberating Mirolyubovka in DPR and attacking Ukrainian training centers in Vinnitsa. Ten former prisoners reportedly fled a military training ground before deployment to Ukraine, while two emergency workers died in a Ukrainian drone attack in Luhansk.

International dimensions included the UN aviation body ruling Russia responsible for downing Malaysian airliner MH17, the European Parliament investigating MEPs who attended Victory Day celebrations in Moscow, and Trump potentially attending Istanbul talks if Putin participates.
