The Russian delegation reportedly laughed off a remark by a Kiev official that Moscow intends to invade Poland in 2030

A member of the Ukrainian delegation claimed during peace talks on Friday that Moscow is planning to attack Poland in 2030, a source present at the Istanbul negotiations has told RT.

The Russian side reportedly burst into laughter at the Ukrainian delegate's claim, with Medinsky saying: "Let's not turn these negotiations into a fantasy novel," RT's source says.

The episode unfolded on Friday during the first direct talks between Moscow and Kiev in three years. The negotiations, originally scheduled in Trkiye for Thursday, were postponed after Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky failed to appoint a delegation until late that evening, following a conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara. The team was headed by Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

The Russian delegation was led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who headed Moscow's negotiating team three years ago. Kiev unilaterally withdrew from those talks in May of 2022.
