Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?

00:00I hope that those talks will be between Ukraine and Russia with our Turkish counterparts in the
00:23room along with someone from our team or members of our team at the appropriate level.
00:29But I want to be frank, I don't think we don't have high expectations of what will happen
00:34tomorrow.
00:35And frankly, at this point, I think it's abundantly clear that the only way we're going to have
00:39a breakthrough here is between President Trump and President Putin.
00:45It's going to require that level of engagement to have a breakthrough in this matter.
00:49I don't think anything productive is actually going to happen from this point forward until
00:54they engage in a very frank and direct conversation, which I know President Trump is willing to
00:58do.
