Journalists asked the US president if he was disappointed with the level of the delegation that the Russians sent to Turkey for negotiations, which obviously does not include Putin.

I'm not disappointed. Why should I be disappointed? I don't know anything about the delegation. I didn't even check. Look, nothing is going to happen until Putin and I meet. He wouldn't go if I wasn't there. And I don't believe anything is going to happen, whether you like it or not, until we meet him. But we have to solve this problem because too many people are dying.

On the evening of May 14, the Russian Federation announced the composition of its delegation for negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul.

The Russian dictator's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, later said that Vladimir Putin would not be present during the talks.
