What are the sticking points ahead of the next Ukraine-Russia talks?

The Turkish president's spokesperson, Ibrahim Kalin, speaks to CNN's Becky Anderson ahead of Ukraine and Russia's next round of in-person peace talks set to take place in Istanbul. #CNN #News

she got answered with a stopper in the last question, she could not even continue.haha

Mr Kalin needs to be the presidential advisor to many of our current presidents, prime ministers and other leaders. He seems to be the only one that can speak clearly to the point and offer logical solutions.

[RafWalton]

I like this guy a lot. Honest, erudite and pragmatic. There should be more politicians like this.

[nlabanok]

The sticking points are that Putin is still in power and his troops are still in Ukraine.

[hcpscratch]

Kalin seems quite impressive...bravo to him.

[evamasters]

Such an erudite man and excellent command of English!

[henryporter]

Is it possible to see the full-length interview somewhere?

[jpthiran]

Mr. Kalin seams to know well is job!...and seams to be a wise person!...

[keremcantarhan]

As a Turkish citizen who hates the current government, and rarely agrees with any of their positions, there is truth in his last statement. It is disingenuous to expect Turkey to send anti-air systems when other NATO countries could send more sophisticated systems at a much lower cost to themselves both economically and militarily.

Wow, this guy was a great interviewee.

[tmonkeys]

this dude is Articulate and pragmatic.

[razormouth]

Russia: Surrender and demilitarize
Ukraine: No

Ok talks over 🙄

[testicat]

Ibrahim’s a respectable dude and seems to be spitting facts

[CharlieThunder]

If I was Ukraine, and if I had what it took to do so (in terms of supplies, logistics, weapons systems etc.), I would push Russia entirely out of all Ukrainian territory. You invade for no reason? You should have what you took in 2014 taken back from you.

Given Russia Violated the Previous Agreement,
What Legitimacy does the Next One will
have ? 😂

[inhocsignovinces]

Erdogan & Turkey feel like the right mediators for the peace negotiations. Hopefully all goes well.

[yagizcagan]

Answer the last question little miss sunshine

[olefella]

I hope things get better, feel so sad for the lives of the civilians out there 🥺

[freddyruvalcaba]

This was a great explanation that helped me get an update of what was going on. They explained how they are fighting and other important issues.

I hope you all got stock in Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and General Dynamics!
