US President Donald Trump has expressed a strong desire to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin 바카라as soon as we can,바카라 as preparations for high-level peace talks between Ukraine and Russia are underway in Istanbul, BBC said.
Speaking on Wednesday, Trump emphasized that a breakthrough in the ongoing war was unlikely without direct engagement between himself and the Russian leader. 바카라Nothing바카라s going to happen until Putin and I get together,바카라 he said.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has confirmed it will send a delegation to Istanbul for the first direct talks with Russian officials since March 2022, early in the full-scale invasion. According to AFP, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the delegation will be led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. Zelenskyy himself will not attend the meeting.
The talks come amid continued international pressure to find a diplomatic resolution to the war, now in its third year. President Vladimir Putin is not expected to attend the Istanbul summit, despite Zelenskyy바카라s public challenge for a face-to-face meeting in Turkey.
The developments mark a potential turning point in efforts to de-escalate the conflict, though expectations remain cautious.
