Recent peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul have yielded little progress toward a ceasefire, despite international pressure and proposals for high-level summits involving leaders like Zelenskyy, Putin, Trump, and Erdogan.

Ongoing fighting and deadly attacks continue to overshadow diplomatic efforts, and expectations for a breakthrough remain low.
The situation highlights the deep divisions and the challenges facing any potential resolution to the conflict.
