What to know about possible Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Turkey

  • On Thursday in Istanbul, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested resuming face-to-face peace negotiations with Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded by inviting Putin to meet there personally.
  • The talks aim to end Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began three years ago, after previous negotiations in Istanbul in 2022 quickly collapsed over demands Ukraine rejected.
  • Zelenskyy said he will only meet Putin directly in Istanbul and will wait in Ankara to meet Turkish President Erdogan, while the Kremlin has not confirmed its delegation for the talks.
  • An appeal endorsed by the EU and U.S. President Donald Trump calls for a month-long ceasefire beginning Monday, although Russia has dismissed the proposal for an unconditional truce.
  • If Putin fails to attend, Zelenskyy warned this shows no desire to end the war, and Western leaders have pledged tougher sanctions on Russia contingent on Putin's response.
