President Zelensky publicly challenges Vladimir Putin to attend peace talks in Istanbul—just days after former President Trump hinted that negotiations could begin “later this week.” Trump claims both sides are open to a 30-day ceasefire, but the Kremlin now says Putin will not attend. Trump’s own attendance was pulled after Putin backed out. The PBD crew breaks down the drama behind the scenes: Why didn’t Putin show? Was it all about Trump?
