Ongoing Negotiations
On Wednesday, Russia and Ukraine held discussions focused on the potential for further prisoner swaps during a brief peace talk session in Istanbul. While both parties are keen on resolving the issue of prisoners of war, they remain significantly divided on the terms of a ceasefire and the possibility of a leaders’ meeting to further the peace process.
