Ukraine's Zelenskyy plans Turkey visit to try to revive peace talks
Zelenskyy aims to revive stalled peace talks and restore prisoner exchanges with U.S. envoy and Turkey, despite no Russian participation, as sanctions pressure Moscow, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he will travel to Turkey this week to jump-start negotiations and will be in Turkey on Wednesday, a day after visiting Spain.
- Turkey has hosted talks on ending the war since 2022, but diplomacy has largely stalled in recent weeks amid U.S. sanctions on Russian oil firms Rosneft and Lukoil, with new measures due Friday.
- Working-Level aims include restoring prisoner‑of‑war exchanges and presenting proposals to allies, with meetings expected to involve Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey, in Ankara.
- For now the planned contacts are occurring without Russian participation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding Kirill Dmitriev will not join Istanbul meetings though Vladimir Putin remains open to post-talk conversations.
- Fighting and strikes—including four ballistic Iskander-M missiles and 114 strike and decoy drones—unfold as Ukraine's air force reported attacks on power stations in occupied Donetsk region, while a 17-year-old girl died in Kharkiv region.
