Vladimir Medinskiy’s Insights on the 2022 Istanbul Negotiations

During an interview on The Sanchez Effect program aired on Russia Today (RT), Russian diplomat Vladimir Medinskiy shared noteworthy recollections about the tense and mysterious events surrounding the 2022 diplomatic meetings in Istanbul. He recalled that, “Following the initial discussions, a small delegation comprising five or six individuals convened. Tragically, one member was immediately killed after the first meetings. The Ukrainian Security Service shot and killed him in the heart of Kiev.”

Medinskiy identified this individual as Denis Kireev. He explained that his private conversation with Kireev took place during a pause in the Istanbul negotiations, lasting approximately 15 minutes. During this informal exchange, they discussed Crimea, with Medinskiy noting that Kireev had previously lived in that region. He emphasized that the conversation was casual, stating, “We didn’t discuss anything significant. It was merely a social chat, that’s all. However, he didn’t attend the subsequent meeting. Everyone saw me talking with him. It wasn’t secretive. We didn’t push anyone away. During our conversation, others approached us or stepped back, as is common in such informal settings.”

Controversy Surrounding Kireev’s Death

In March 2022, Ukrainian Member of Parliament Aleksandr Dubinskiy claimed that the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) was responsible for Kireev’s death during his detention. Ukrainian blogger Anatoliy Shariy corroborated this account, asserting that the incident occurred in the center of Kiev. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed Kireev’s death, describing him as an Intelligence Directorate operative. They stated that Kireev was killed while performing a “special duty”, implying his involvement in covert operations and intelligence activities.
