Succinct and factual.
It is fascinating that, reading the ABC News article, "unclear" was a media word game, given the Rooskies "didn't detail which officials would be present." Trying then to push the lede further to some form of the Ukies saying, 'Putin, I'm waiting for you,' made the sit-com nature of this most clear. As with the four -- Starmer, Macron, Merz and Tusk -- traveling all the way to Kiev to make a phone call to President Trump for their photo op, what is "clear" is that this is a media circus in the midst of a destructive war between two still non-NATO nations.
I don’t see anywhere Putin said he was attending these peace talks. Premature speculation by some.
