Russian and Ukrainian officials have resumed peace talks in Istanbul, marking the first direct negotiations in nearly two months.
Despite international pressure and threats of new sanctions from the US, little progress has been made toward a ceasefire or a leaders' summit. Both sides agreed to a significant prisoner swap, but remain deeply divided on key issues, with Russia insisting on achieving its war goals and Ukraine pushing for a direct meeting between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Civilian casualties continue to mount as deadly attacks persist across Ukraine, dampening hopes for a breakthrough.
The talks highlight the ongoing challenges in reaching a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
