putin is playing a highstakes diplomatic
0:02
game with an increasingly impatient
0:04
Trump openly undermining the US
0:07
president by snubbing a bilateral summit
0:09
as Zalinski touches down in Turkey In
0:12
his place the Russian president is
0:13
sending a junior delegation headed up by
0:15
a former culture minister turned Kremlin
0:18
adviser Zilinski has slammed these
0:20
representatives as standin props while
0:23
UK foreign secretary David Lammy
0:25
described them as low-level individuals
0:28
Trump said earlier this week that both
0:30
the Russian and Ukrainian leaders would
0:32
be present at talks in Istanbul which
0:35
would have been the first time that the
0:36
two men have had direct talks since
0:39
Russia invaded Ukraine Trump initially
0:41
promised that he would win a peace deal
0:43
within 24 hours of taking office Now his
0:46
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that
0:48
the US wants to see progress in a matter
0:50
of days and that the president is open
0:53
to pulling any lever necessary to
0:56
achieve a peace deal That is in no small
0:58
part because Trump wants to win a Nobel
1:00
Peace Prize and generally burnish the
1:02
image of himself as a canny negotiator
1:04
and dealmaker And this is where Putin
1:07
could well be running a risk The Russian
1:09
president has throughout his quarter of
1:11
a century in power been known to indulge
1:14
in psychological gains So back in 2007
1:17
for instance it was heavily suggested
1:19
that he brought a massive Labrador to a
1:22
meeting with then German Chancellor
1:24
Angler Merkel when it was well known
1:26
that she is uneasy around dogs But Trump
1:29
would be a very different scale of
1:30
adversary with vastly larger economy and
1:33
military at his disposal It is possible
1:35
that there are more practical reasons
1:37
for Putin dodging the talks He might
1:39
fear that he could be arrested the
1:41
moment that he steps off the plane There
1:43
is an international criminal court
1:45
warrant out for him And Turkey isn't a
1:48
member of the ICC but it would still be
1:50
risky to tip up in the country Trump
1:52
said in the art of the deal that if you
1:54
don't deliver the goods people will
1:55
eventually catch on So Putin is taking a
1:58
risk by teasing Trump with a deal that
2:00
he so badly wants For everything you
2:02
need to know about this story as it
