Russia and Ukraine to Talk About Peace but Are Still Far Apart

Ukrainian negotiators will present a formal peace roadmap to Russian officials in Istanbul on June 2, aiming to end the three-year war.
The proposal follows stalled talks and Russia's failure to provide a draft memorandum, while both sides remain far apart on ceasefire and territorial terms.
The plan calls for a complete ceasefire lasting one month, the release of all detainees along with the repatriation of Ukrainian children, the removal of any restrictions on Ukraine’s military capabilities after the war, and denies any acknowledgment of Russian control over occupied regions.
The recent Istanbul talks lasted just over an hour and yielded agreement only on exchanging all sick, severely wounded, and prisoners under 25, while Russia rejected Ukraine's call for an unconditional ceasefire.
Despite involvement of the US and European nations, deep divisions persist, and low expectations suggest an immediate peace deal remains unlikely as fighting intensifies.
