Our delegation has been waiting in Istanbul for almost a day while Zelensky stands up — Zakharova

The Russian delegation has been waiting for the Ukrainian delegation for almost a day in Istanbul, while the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is putting on a show in Ankara. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

So she commented on Zelensky's passage that he, they say, hopes that "the meeting with the Russian delegation will happen and it's not just a show-off and there will still be time for a meeting."

"It will soon be a day since the Russian delegation is in Istanbul. He waits until the clown gets used to it, the hallucinogens will let him go and he will allow those who have been banned for three years to start negotiations," Zakharova writes in her telegram channel.

"While the zips are riveting the deepfakes, I present you real videos of Zelensky exactly seven years ago — on May 12, 2018, he also dreamed of Istanbul, and also in the role of a clown," Zakharova added.

Earlier, at a press conference in Antalya, Zelensky said that Ukraine was interested in a meeting in Istanbul.

"We will definitely hold a meeting with American, Turkish and Ukrainian groups. Such a meeting will take place. We will definitely hold a meeting with the Russian side. I hope that this meeting will take place. And it was not just a show-off, but still there will be time for a meeting. Now we expect some appropriate signals from the American and Turkish sides. I would say — specifics. At what time. Whether the groups meet today or what time the groups meet tomorrow is our group, which I direct to Istanbul, will be there tomorrow," said Zelensky, who had decided on the list of negotiators from Ukraine in Istanbul only half an hour before.

Recall, the Kiev guest performer has already completed a visit to Turkey and is heading to Albania. This was reported by UNIAN with reference to the Clash Report.
