Ukraine-Russia Talks in Istanbul Yield Little Progress

The latest round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, held in Istanbul, Turkey, concluded in under two hours without significant breakthroughs.

Despite hopes for de-escalation, the discussions yielded minimal progress on key issues. Both sides remain entrenched in their positions, and the prospect of a swift resolution appears unlikely.

This meeting followed previous attempts to find common ground, all of which have so far failed to produce a lasting ceasefire or political agreement. The ongoing conflict continues to cause widespread devastation and displacement.

Diplomatic efforts are expected to continue, but the path towards peace remains uncertain.
