Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may meet in Turkey for only the second time since the start of the conflict between their countries.
Their previous meeting, six years ago, focused on discussing a ceasefire, but did not lead to lasting peace. Zelenskyy has expressed willingness to attend the talks, even if Putin does not show up, highlighting Ukraine's openness to dialogue. The Kremlin has hinted at the possibility of Putin attending, but nothing is confirmed.
The world is watching closely, as any direct talks between the two leaders could be a significant step toward resolving the ongoing war.
