Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that a delegation of high-level Russian officials will travel to Turkiye for direct talks on the war in Ukraine tomorrow, but the Russian president himself does not appear on a list of attendees.
The Kremlin posted an order issued by Putin on its website late on Wednesday stating that adviser Vladimir Medinsky, Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin, and director of the Main Intelligence Directorate Igor Kostyukov will be among those traveling to Turkiye, but Putin’s name does not appear in the order.
