The second round of Russia-Europe peace talks in Istanbul ended in just over an hour, achieving no breakthrough.
Led by Vladimir Medinsky and Rustem Umerov, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations sat across a U-shaped table, mediated by Turkey.
Despite plans to exchange ceasefire terms, both sides remained sharply divided.
Ukraine submitted a list of deported children and announced a new POW release.
The talks occurred amid rising tensions following Ukraine’s Operation “Spider’s Web” and Russia’s threats to deploy nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles.
