there are no americans in istanbul this time. following today's meeting , the russian delegation plans to make a statement. everything that is known at this minute is in our material. the first shots show russian negotiators leaving the doors of the hilton basfor hotel and getting into black sedans. accompanied by turkish police, they drive out to meet the ukrainian delegation. a meeting between russian and ukrainian officials is expected in istanbul in the coming hours, but neither side intends to miss the opportunity to resolve the war. the united states will not be represented at these talks, but the white house has warned both moscow and kiev against further escalation. a russian aerospace forces il-62 approaches the turkish ataturk airport. the airport is closed to commercial flights and is used only for military, official and private aircraft. the russian delegation arrived for the second round of talks in istanbul on a modified il-62, a feature of which is the so-called hump over the physique. following amedinsky, deputy d

now regarding the meeting in istanbul.u supports diplomatic efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in ukraine, it is up to it to decide what the actual conditions for peace will be. the west is waiting for russia to present its conditions, the kremlin promised to lay them out, as you remember, in the so-called memorandum, reuters, citing sources , wrote earlier that moscow is demanding written commitments from the west, not nato expansion to the east. our sources in the alliance claim that there are no such discussions within the union, and agent secretary rutto today recalled that the allies have agreed, on the contrary, that ukraine will become part of nato and... this path, as written in the declaration, in particular the washington summit, is irreversible. zaryana, thank you very much, our correspondent zaryana stepanenko was on the line from brussels. drones attacked at least eight russian regions and occupied crimea tonight. the russian defense ministry said that 162 ukrainian drones were intercep

the negotiations in istanbul lasted a little over an hour. the main thing was the agreement to exchange everyone for everyone in two categories. the first category is the seriously wounded and sick, the second is young soldiers from 18 to 25 years old. in addition, they agreed to exchange, swap the bodies of the dead 600 for 600, no time frame has been announced yet. well, the russian side also proposed a temporary ceasefire in certain sections of the front for 2-3 days to collect the bodies of the dead, this has already been reported by the head of the russian delegation vladimir midinsky. and the head of the ukrainian delegation, defense minister umerov, reported that ukraine had transferred, forcibly moved or is holding in the occupied territories, well, in addition, the parties exchanged memoranda and promised to negotiate further. about the children, i will separately remind you that the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin and... that it will continue to try to delay the negotiation process, in partic

the ukrainian delegation has apparently already arrived in istanbul for talks with russia. the talks will take place in the afternoon. when they met last time, they managed to agree on not so much, they failed to achieve a ceasefire. they managed to agree on an exchange 2 thousand prisoners, and the exchange has already taken place. expectations from today's talks are low. both delegations have hardly changed compared to those that held talks 2 weeks ago. here in istanbul, the russian delegation is headed by vladimir midinsky, and the ukrainian one is still headed by defense minister rustem umerov. when they met here on may 16, they did not reach an agreement. it will be interesting to see if they can agree on anything, the russian delegation will be the same as last time in istanbul. we were told that defense minister rustem umerov will be present at the meeting, so it will be at the ministerial level. we don't know much, but it looks like the composition will be close to what we saw a few weeks ago, when representatives of both countries met in istanbul. according to ukra

we will return to istanbul, but for now let's move on to other topics. legendarycon is celebrating a significant date: one of the leading spaceports on the planet has turned 70 years old. the history of the world's first space port has not been written down in many bright pages. baikanur is the first artificial satellite of the earth, the first human flight into space, the launch of interplanetary vehicles and orbital stations, and international cooperation. vladimir putin sent a video message to the cosmodrome employees and veterans. parameters of the control system. just 10 years after the end of the great patriotic war, the multinational soviet people, who had survived a terrible tragedy and enormous losses, were able not only to raise the destroyed cities and towns from the ruins, but also to take a giant step into the future, to begin implementing grandiose, daring plans, paving the way into space, to the stars. the creation of baikanur, as well as the implementation of the space program in general - this is... a real feat, an example of dedication

representatives of germany, france and britain will arrive in istanbul.ective is diplomatic pressure on russia? i think that the russian federation will again insist that here everyone should come out and even here. at today's meeting in istanbul, the russians will hardly be impressed by the provocations, i don't think that this will change their position, the maximum demands will be put forward again from the russian side, that is, demilitarization, withdrawal of ukrainian troops from disputed territories, and the ukrainians will again demand a ceasefire. in brussels and washington they are trying as best they can to cheer up kiev. at the end of last week, the american senator, russoff, the terrorist linzi graham visited ukraine. may mean, the world is not that ukraine will give up its sovereignty, the decision to become a member of the european union or nato. and it should not be that ukraine just gives up 20 or 30% of its territory. there must be peace, but not peace. yes, he has become somewhat fussy lately, he used to be calmer, history, now, no, you

increased the number of his negotiators in istanbul to 14.ll not draw your attention to ... the names, positions of these people - these are deputies, leaders there are some departments, that is, they are not the most important people in the negotiating team. the russian negotiating team is unchanged, it is still headed by vladimir midinsky, as it has always been since 2022. we know that after the negotiations are over, which we do not know how long they will last. last time it was 1 hour and 45 minutes, how long it will be today we do not know, the parties. must exchange memoranda, and after the negotiations are over, representatives of the media, the russian the delegation invited for a statement to the press, that is, vladimir midinsky will make some statement, we will definitely show you everything, we are watching, evgeny, yes, indeed, denis, less than 15 minutes remain until the official start of negotiations, of course, what is happening in istanbul is absolutely inseparable from our advancement at the front, we will return to you in l

we have already said more than once that the turkish. left the negotiating platform in istanbul, that is, apparently after lunch, well, such a diplomatic one, yes, already the conclusion of the negotiations. the conclusion of the second round of negotiations in istanbul. another detail that the news agency draws attention to: ukraine did not allow russian media to enter after the negotiations with russia in istanbul. well , we also know that these negotiations, the second round of negotiations in istanbul were held in russian, which of course is also significant, indicative, and this dialogue lasted about an hour. yes, a little over an hour, literally an hour and a few minutes. details that have also been voiced and are already being discussed in the media, that the parties definitely discussed the exchange prisoners, it is also known that a third round of negotiations is planned, as we have already said, but we will trust for a long time and return from the national project youth and children eyes run wide, travel around russia and play sports in new ... do science in youth laborator

, istanbul, are you ready? come on, eat, don't be afraid, the forensic expert's report, basically it says that there is doubt that kubru was hit by her husband, and if the judge decides to agree with this conclusion, it is quite possible that the husband will not be punished at all. hello! okay, let's not despair, how can we get used to this? yes, i understand, i can't wrap my head around it, but what can i do? it seems that this is it, i just don't know, okay, bye, see you, thanks for your concern, we need to find another way to prove our right, our best option is to convince the judge to let kubra speak at the hearing. even though i'm the older brother, kubra and i have been very close since we were kids. she has become such a bright and intelligent girl, our bond is still very... kripka, you can ask her about our relationship, she will say the same thing, ağlama, ağlama , bari. dur sileyim "let me wipe them off, don't worry, she says they are tears of joy, she cries when she sees ander, i'll wipe them off wi

istanbul - where east and west meet. it's a place i've never been to but i've heard so much about, and right now it is shining as a food hot spot, with a new generation of chefs creating the fusions of tomorrow. oh, my goodness. it smells great. this time, i'll discover the surprising secrets of ottoman cuisine... i have never heard of that before in my entire life. ..taste an incredible meeting of food worlds... mm! ..and meet a new generation of female chefs taking the city's kitchens by storm... you don't see a lot of kitchens filled with women and it's really nice to see that in here. ..all the while making new friends... amazing? mm! yes. ..and picking up new skills. over... we celebrate today female chefs. female chefs. join me for discovering the world's table - istanbul's food fusion. istanbul's geography has made it a cultural crossroads for centuries, and i'm starting my trip by diving straight into the most historic meeting place - the vibrant, slightly busy grand bazaar. i mean, just look at this place. the e

this is the best advertisement of istanbul for russia. in a sense, they can return these negotiations to the historical precedent of 2022. as i said, in their minds, istanbul 2025 is just a continuation of the interrupted 2020. for ukraine , this is not the case. it is obvious that the ukrainians believe that to begin with, in istanbul or anywhere else, there should be a completely new, legal, political and diplomatic framework. they say that the reality is completely different: military, diplomatic, political, and also the experience of waging this bloody war with russia, watching massive, large-scale military atrocities committed by russia. this, of course, makes it a test. speaking, to answer your question, i think the whole image of istanbul as a place, where russia was very close to a victorious peace deal with ukraine, makes istanbul a very advantageous place for russia. let's talk about the officials on the turkish side, for example, president erdogan, who met with president zelensky, the leader of ukraine in ankara, president puti

june 2nd and istanbul, because, well, you all understand why, well, in istanbul today , this very the second round of negotiations, and there are a lot of advances, a lot of, well, sensational news, starting with the fact that the ukrainian delegation immediately flew to the city where the round of negotiations is taking place, this is also an achievement, by the way, last time, yes, last time they started with something completely different. a lot of interesting things, and we will now talk about this with konstantin, a correspondent for channel one, who , as always, was in the thick of things, who witnessed these historical events, will now tell us about what happened before, what was in parallel, well and naturally about what was the result, konstantin, please, we are listening to you attentively, artom, hello, well, the charagan palace, the very place where the negotiations took place today, it is still behind us, but this is... a place for russian-ukrainian direct negotiations, last time, as you remember, we met in a different place dolma bakche, this is the state residence, the

as i said, in their view, istanbul 2025 is simply a continuation of the interrupted istanbul 2022. for ukraine , this is not the case. it is obvious that the ukrainians believe that for a start in istanbul and "i am afraid that now turkey cannot exert any influence on russia, because we are talking about negotiations between russia and ukraine, and president erdogan can try to convince his russian counterpart to make big concessions, but i think that the russian side expects, "that it is ukraine that has to make these painful concessions, but then again, why should ukraine agree to these demands that it considers truly absurd?" "so i think that unless there is some radical change in the geopolitical situation, some military success by one of the parties, or something that significantly changes the status quo, that is, unless russia feels threatened or sees, say, a change in the position of the united states, which will become more assertive, will make demands demands on russia and to try to contain it more decisively than president trump has been willing to do so far, so if somethi

any minute now , negotiations between moscow and kiev will begin in istanbul's chiragan palace. erdogan's administration has just announced ankara hopes that today's talks will lead to a meeting between putin and zelensky. both delegations are there. this is what the hall where the meeting will take place looks like. on the left are two russian flags, on the right are ukrainian flags and seats for representatives of kiev in the center and the flag of turkey, where the host country will be located. the head of the turkish foreign ministry is expected to give an opening speech, the rest of the meeting will be closed to the press. everything that is known so far, watch. the first shots, russian negotiators exit from the doors of the hilton basfor hotel, get into black sedans. accompanied by turkish police, they leave for a meeting with the ukrainian delegation. according to the turkish foreign ministry, the negotiations will be held according to the formula. in the coming hours , a meeting of russian and ukrainian officials is expected in istanbul, but neither side intends to miss

ntv observer roman sobol is in istanbul. at russia's initiative, here in istanbul russian ukrainian delegation. well, what can you say? kiev cannot take a single step without outside advisers. as for the russian delegation, it arrived in istanbul yesterday evening, and is still headed by vladimir midinsky. i would like to once again express my gratitude to our turkish partners for providing a hospitable turkish platform, as turkish foreign minister hakan fedan confirmed yesterday during his visit to moscow. we expect that the last moment slightly changed its composition, adding, as reported, two generals, as if emphasizing their fighting spirit, say that ukraine brought them to istanbul. before they were accepted, so this is what actually happened in 2022: 3 years ago, ukraine had an excellent chance to end the conflict with minimal losses, but they followed london's lead and now kiev's negotiating positions are much weaker. well, it just became known that the second round of negotiations in istanbul has ended. our observer

istanbul, the second round. today, as expected, a meeting will take place within the framework of direct russian-ukrainian negotiations, representatives of both delegations are already in turkey, those from the eu also flew to the republic. modified taking into account the svo. the t-80 is the first tank in the world, one of the few, not with a diesel engine, with a gas turbine unit. to understand what it is, you need to listen to the sound. do you hear? as if it was taking off. a new batch of t-80 bvm tanks has been sent to our troops, what is their uniqueness? the place where the dreams of mankind have become reality, the largest... moscow will present kiev with a memorandum on the settlement of the conflict, to prepare such documents, the parties agreed in may, our main goals - this has been repeatedly emphasized the achievement of a reliable, long-term peace, the elimination of the root causes of the crisis. all the latest news from istanbul we learn from our correspondent konstantin panyushkin, he has been

today, the attention of all the world's media is riveted to istanbul. there is to be a meeting of representatives of russia and ukraine. these will be direct negotiations, which were resumed at the initiative of vladimir putin. the first contact took place on may 16, and the parties agreed on the second round, prepared their proposals for a settlement. the russian delegation drafted a memorandum aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict. journalists have already begun to gather at the place where the negotiations will take place, our colleague roman sobol is working on site, he is in direct contact with the studio. roman, well, we are still waiting for the negotiations to begin, it is already known how this round may differ from the previous meeting. yes, yulia, but in the proposed scenario. with the participation of the ukrainian delegation, firstly, the ukrainians will meet with american diplomats, then there will be, actually, the main event, the russia-ukraine meeting, right after that the ukrainians will rush to a meeting with european n

as we can see, in the three largest cities, in istanbul, ankara and izmir. the referendum to change the constitution ended with the victory of those who voted for. we lost the referendum, everyone already knows. even faster, president erdogan. no, we won, we will continue the fight, this is just the beginning, we will continue the fight. as a lawyer, i see that a lot has changed, all at once, it's crazy. "i came to the meeting, and also because two of my friends were detained, they are being interrogated today, okay, get your press release ready, bye, two of my friends were arrested, they have been in custody since friday, and today they will testify for the first time." on the side of the prosecution, last week we talked about what needs to be arranged. motives, for political reasons they have not eaten anything since thursday, only a little sweets and water with salt. the investigation considers them members of a terrorist organization. the accusation is based on posts screenshots from their facebook pages. this is evidence that they are members of an ultr

the choice of the caragan palace in istanbul as a place. the ciragan palace is located in the restored restored building of the sultan abdulaziz palace on the european side of basfor. in fact, it is a five-star hotel, part of the kempensky chain. it is connected to the yeldy palace and park ensemble with an elegant marble bridge. do you hear, yes, do we have a connection with istanbul, alexey, welcome, tell us what details, colleagues, welcome, really, now the center of big politics istanbul, we are near the palace of charagan, here it is next to us, just now the messages that came to the news agency feeds marked lightning, that the negotiations have ended, this happened literally a few minutes ago, so we can say that they began with almost a two-hour delay. began instead of 13 hours at 14:50 , that is, almost an hour, it turns out, they continued, continued, as reported by sources of information agencies in russian, now, of course, the entire area around the charagan palace is a huge press center, our colleagues from various world media, r

my colleague, alexey petrov, is now on the line from istanbul. alexey, hello and tell us what's going on with you at the moment. yes, maria, hello, we are here on the banks of the basfora, we are indeed looking at our watches, well, you just said, less than two hours remain until the start of the negotiations, it has just become known that the head of the turkish foreign ministry will open them. is developing, about one and a half kilometers, and now a new site, let's see, this is the charagan palace, everything here is connected with the history of the sultans, the history goes back to the 14th century, this building itself was built in the nineteenth century, a historical building, the first sessions of the first parliament of the ottoman empire were held here at the beginning of the century. later in 1910 the building burned down, but at the end of the 20th century it was possible to rebuild it, now we see a huge attention of the press here everywhere on the banks of the basfor directly on other sites, colleagues are now having live broadcasts

against this background , ukrainians meet in istanbul. russia refuses an unconditional ceasefire, but the delegations agreed to exchange two categories of prisoners according to the formula of all for all. in istanbul, the second round of negotiations between ukraine and russia ended, ended. the long-awaited round, discussed and happened against the backdrop of yesterday's special operation of the ukrainian secret services. this is how fine the belaya airfield, a strategic aviation base, looks now. the voice-over, which incorrectly puts the stress in the russian name of the airfield, not belaya, but belaya, belongs to the head of the ukrainian security service, lieutenant general vasyl malyuk. he claims that the day before, ukrainian drones hit 41 russian aircraft, more details about this strike a little later in our issue, be sure to wait, i mentioned it now to get a complete picture of what, against the backdrop of which the russian ukrainian delegation met in istanbul today. our correspondents are following what is happening in istanbu

the week began with a meeting of the delegation of russia and ukraine in istanbul. this is a continuation of direct negotiations on the initiative of russia. last time, they agreed to prepare a memorandum on each side and exchange such documents. memorandum is a latin word, literally meaning something to remember. in simple terms, a reminder. here we handed the ukrainian delegation such an official one. so drones, shooting them down hundred after hundred, about 2.0 in a month. it is obvious that such activity was intended to disrupt the negotiations. kiev, therefore, does not need peace. putin gave an assessment of the actions of the thoroughly rotten and completely corrupt kiev regime at a meeting with the government on wednesday. and this only confirms our fear is that the already illegitimate regime in kiev, which once seized power, is gradually degenerating into a terrorist one... let's remember that just recently the ukrainian authorities and their allies dreamed of a strategic defeat for russia on the battlefield, today, against the backdrop of huge losses, re

why, in your opinion, did russia decide to go to istanbul, to turkey? turkey is a member of nato, but there there have been several rounds of negotiations, including negotiations on the grain deal, not only to end the war. why turkey? we need to look back a little bit at turkey's role as a mediator even before 2022. since 2014. turkey already has some experience in these negotiations, but what is very important is that turkey is of course a very special country for russia, it is a strategic ally. you mentioned that turkey is a member of nato and also a strategic partner of ukraine, but at the same time, since it is conducting... i think that yes, turkey is a very important player in the black sea. turkey did a lot to help ukraine in the war when it closed the basphorus and dardanelles straits at the beginning of the war, preventing russia from moving its naval forces from outside the black sea. as a result, russia was unable to conduct an amphibious operation, for example, in odessa. i would even say that for the kremlin, turkey is seen as a kind of use

the second round of direct talks between russia and ukraine is about to begin in istanbul. the meeting is already delayed by an hour and a half, and as ukrainian sources report, the fact is that the ukrainian minister of defense decided to first hold a bilateral meeting with the turkish minister of foreign affairs, hakan fedan. and this meeting has now ended. our special correspondent, leyla alnazarova, is working on the spot, she is once again in direct contact with the studio. leyla, can you confirm this information now? around the charalantu palace, it is calm, i will note that security measures have been increased on land and on water, police boats continue to operate in the bosphorus strait, monitoring the situation, police officers and other turkish special services are working on the territory of the palace, the media are working in such a closed space, about 300 journalists from different countries of the world have gathered here, including from russia, turkey and ukraine, and this time this place? journalists came from all the attention in the world is now focused

on monday in istanbul.the ukrainians agreed to short ceasefires on certain sections of the front so that the ukrainian armed forces could retrieve the bodies of their dead soldiers from the gray zone. zelensky later said that this was out of the question. vladimir putin commented on the situation on wednesday. this does not surprise us, it only convinces us that today's kiev regime does not need peace at all. for it, peace most likely means the loss of power. and power for this regime, apparently, is more important than peace. to say that he did not want pay compensation to such a large number of families at once and so on and so forth, because at this stage their criminal group, terrorist group is used to receiving these compensations and other payments to the military into their accounts, they steal money, they simply take money from the most vulnerable group of people today, namely from the relatives of the deceased, here... i apologize, but just try not to take it, they will be cursed for many generatio

the second round of discussions between the two sides in istanbul lasted just over an hour. will russia rejected ukraine's demand for an unconditional three-month ceasefire. instead, proposing a two to three-day partial truce in some areas. the sides did though agree on a prisoner swap in. including troops under 25 and the seriously ill and wounded. russia and ukraine will also return the bodies of 6000 opposing soldiers each. ukraine has given russia a list of hundreds of children it says were taken during the invasion who should now be returned. well, russia's lead negotiator says they are planning more regular prisoner swaps with ukraine. we also agreed to establish permanent medical commissions. conclusions will be grounds for filing lists of heavily wounded fighters for exchange without waiting for top political decisions. it's better to recover at home. these swaps are set to take place on a regular basis in due course. well, after today's negotiations, the head of the ukrainian delegation says it's now time for the country's leaders to meet. we firmly believe that all
