Russia and Ukraine have resumed peace talks in Istanbul after a seven-week pause, but hopes for a breakthrough remain low.
The main outcome so far is an agreement to exchange 1,200 prisoners of war each, while both sides remain deeply divided on ceasefire terms and broader peace conditions. Ukraine has proposed a high-level summit involving leaders such as Zelenskyy, Putin, Trump, and Erdogan, but Russia insists its war objectives must be met before any real peace can be achieved. Despite international pressure and threats of new sanctions, especially from the U.S., the negotiations have made little progress toward ending the conflict.
Deadly attacks and civilian casualties continue in Ukraine as talks stall.
