Still unclear details on Russia-Ukrainian Talks Ahead

But talks between Russia and Ukraine are expected to still take place in Istanbul today, marking the first face-to-face talks since 2022, Kdankosova broadcasts.tv.

Complete details of who will attend and when they are not yet clear.

If you're joining us now, here's a quick summary:

Delegations from Russia and Ukraine are in Turkey, but a source from Turkey's foreign ministry said no meetings have been scheduled yet.

Putin and Trump will not be there, and the Ukrainian delegation is currently in Ankara, not Istanbul.

Zelensky had earlier called on Putin to attend, saying he would come if the Russian leader came.

This morning, Zelensky accused Russia of sending “sub-reliance” after the Kremlin sent a delegation that appears to be very young.

In particular, the US Secretary of State said Washington wants progress within days.

His comments were made at a NATO meeting in Antalya.

A separate meeting between Zelensky and the Turkish president is under way in Ankara. /Periscope/
