Istanbul round 2: Russia’s cynicism, lies and an ultimatum
In this episode: While Russia calls for new peace talks in Istanbul, its missiles keep raining down on Ukrainian cities. We unpack the Kremlin’s so-called “memorandum” — a list of demands rather than a peace plan — and explain why Ukrainian officials see it as a smokescreen. At the same time, a major prisoner exchange is finally underway — 1,000 for 1,000 — thanks to tireless Ukrainian and international diplomacy. Moscow, however, is already twisting the narrative for propaganda gains. We expose how the Kremlin manipulates the POW issue and what this reveals about its real goals in the war. ---------------------------- Please keep discussions on this channel clean and respectful and refrain from using racist or sexist slurs and personal insults. #TheGaze #Ukraine #UkraineNews #UkraineWarUpdates #russianaggression #peacenegotiations #prisonerexchange #drones
