On Russian telegram channels - for the first time Lavrov has indicated that they’ll consider Zelensky the ‘de facto’ head of Ukraine in meetings cause they seem to have realised that the road to delaying talks without the Orange man finally ending his eternal two week deadline is running out. They spent years painting themselves in a corner trying to insist Zelensky wasn’t able to sign treaties with Russia only to be forced to admit that they don’t have a choice and have to meet with him lmao. I guess the 5th wasn’t the only Zigger ‘red line’ that broke in the last 24 hours
