Putin has dodged direct talks with Zelenskyy for years and keeps sending underlings instead. No way he suddenly shows up in Turkey for a face-to-face.
No. A Putin-Zelenskyy meeting is too politically loaded, and Turkey is more useful as a mediator than as the stage for their next face-to-face.
Zero chance. Putin is too paranoid to leave his safety bubble, and Zelenskyy literally signed a decree banning any negotiations with him.
Putin won't risk Turkey talks while his troops keep advancing. Zelenskyy knows any summit there ends in deadlock like before.
Turkey could host talks, but a direct Putin and Zelenskyy meeting there soon is unlikely; big moves require broader dealmaking first.
Yes. Turkey acts as mediator, Istanbul will host talks as leverage shifts and tempers cool.
No. The theater of peace is staged by intermediaries, not a pure duet; a Putin and Zelenskiy meeting in Turkey isn't likely right now.
No. Turkey can host talks, but a real Putin-Zelenskyy meeting there seems unlikely this soon. The war keeps them apart.
I don't see a Putin and Zelenskyy meeting in Turkey next. The two stay apart and Turkey is a host, not a front line peace broker.
No. The fight ain't over, and Turkey ain't gonna stage a peace clinch when there's no real progress on the ground.
Yes. Turkey pushes talks, and both sides know dialogue beats the drum of war.
No. Big meetings happen where momentum is, not just because a country hosts. Turkey would be a backdrop, not a breakthrough.
