Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski holds out little hope for a breakthrough in the Russo-Ukrainian war after talks between the delegations of the two nations took place in Türkiye on 16 May, though he believes that it was a test of Russia’s intentions.

“But you never know,” he said. “This is a test of Russia’s intentions. If Russia doesn’t agree to a ceasefire or makes outrageous demands, it will only confirm our view that Putin is not ready for peace.”

Sikorski also believes that Türkiye, which hosted the first Russo-Ukrainian talks since 2022, is playing a “very clever game”. While supplying Kyiv with military aid, it simultaneously hosts “millions of Russian tourists”.
