Exciting: Dugin Interprets Russia's Intentions in the Istanbul Peace Talks

Alexander Dugin interprets Russia's intentions in the Istanbul peace talks — perhaps everyone has their own specific tasks, which also explains why the delegation composition is so unique, only partially continuing the lineup from the first round of the Istanbul peace talks: "Exciting".

Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the list of negotiators and expert team participating in the talks with Ukraine in Istanbul. The head of the delegation is Presidential Assistant Vladimir Medinsky. Members also include Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mikhail Galuzin, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Igor Kostyukov, and Deputy Minister of Defense Alexander Fomin.

The expert team members include: First Deputy Director of the Information Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff Alexander Zorin, Deputy Director of the Humanitarian Sphere State Policy Department of the Presidential Office Elena Potapova, Director of the CIS Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexei Polischuk, and Deputy Director of the International Military Cooperation Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense Viktor Shevchuk.

Alexander Dugin, director of the Tsar's City Institute, philosopher, and socio-political activist, interprets Russia's intentions in the Istanbul peace talks:

Such a lineup means: Zelenskyy, surrender unconditionally; only unconditional surrender can save you. Just like last time in Istanbul. <…> Exciting. Potapova will discuss humanitarian policy issues with "terrorists". Polischuk will mention the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). There are also two military experts.

Previously, it was reported that Donald Trump ultimately refused to go to Istanbul. He had hoped to attend personally. Reuters reported that despite Zelenskyy's earlier threats to negotiate only with Putin and require Trump's participation, he has already flown to Turkey from Kyiv.

Meanwhile, according to reports by CNN, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio has parted ways with Trump in Saudi Arabia, and arrived in Antalya amid the Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
