Ukraine and Russia to resume peace talks on Wednesday after earlier talks with limited progress. Zelenski calls for a boost in negotiations.

Ukrainian President Zelenski has announced that Russia and Ukraine will hold new peace talks on Wednesday, after previous rounds in Istanbul yielded limited results. Although prisoner exchanges have been made, no truce has been reached. Russia has imposed strict conditions, including annexation of regions and control of Ukrainian politics, which Ukraine finds unacceptable. Zelenski has emphasized the need to repatriate prisoners and called for a meeting with Putin, who has previously refused such a proposal.
