Russia and Ukraine have resumed peace talks in Istanbul, but little progress has been made toward a ceasefire or a comprehensive peace agreement.
The discussions resulted in an agreement for a prisoner exchange, but both sides remain far apart on key issues, with Russia insisting on achieving its war objectives and Ukraine pushing for a direct leaders' summit between Zelensky and Putin. President Trump has threatened new sanctions on Russia, but these have not led to any breakthroughs. Despite ongoing negotiations, deadly attacks and military escalation continue, and hopes for a swift resolution remain low.
Both sides have expressed willingness for further talks, but expectations for a major breakthrough are minimal.
