Trump declares Ukraine peace deal won’t happen until he and Putin ‘get together’ after Turkey talks fiasco - Vlodymyr Zelensky said Mr Putin’s failure to attend talks in Turkey showed he was not ready for peace,

Military experts have warned the Russian president's war-machine could be fully rebuilt to strength and made ready to attack NATO neighbours by 2027 if a peace deal is struck in Ukraine

Moscow's goal in the expected peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul is achieving "sustainable peace" by addressing the "root causes of the conflict" rather than a ceasefire, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on May 15.

As Vladimir Putin rejects Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s proposal for a face-to-face meeting, the EU is readying penalties.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy states that his arrival in Türkiye is already a message to Russian president Vladimir Putin, according to Sky News. Journalists asked Zelenskyy whether he had a message for Putin.

US President Donald Trump said there’ll be no resolution of Russia’s war in Ukraine until he meets with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, as the prospects for planned peace talks in Turkey remained uncertain.

The Kremlin confirmed Thursday that Russia's President Putin would skip Moscow's first direct peace negotiations with Ukraine that Putin himself had suggested.

Igor Olegovich Kostyukov, 64, has travelled to Istanbul for the ceasefire talks alongside the Russian deputy defence minister, the deputy foreign minister and the deputy minister of industry and trade
