Ukraine and Russia are set to resume peace negotiations in Istanbul on Monday, Turkish authorities announced. The talks will take place at 1:00 p.m. local time (1000 GMT) at the historic Ciragan Palace on the European side of the city, along the Bosphorus Strait.
This meeting follows the most recent round of direct talks, which ended on May 16 without a ceasefire. It will be the first face-to-face negotiation between the two parties since March 2022, as diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict continue, Xinhua reported.
