Russia and Ukraine have restarted peace negotiations in Istanbul after a seven-week pause, but hopes for a breakthrough remain low.
The talks resulted in an agreement to exchange prisoners of war, but little progress was made on a ceasefire or a potential summit between leaders. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has proposed a high-level meeting involving Putin, Trump, and Erdogan, but Russia insists its war objectives must be met before peace can be achieved. The Kremlin has downplayed expectations, stating that the sides remain deeply divided on key issues.
Meanwhile, fighting continues to intensify, with civilian casualties mounting and international pressure growing for a diplomatic resolution.
