Anticipation Builds for Russia, Ukraine Peace Talks
Right after the conflict erupted in February 2022, Türkiye facilitated the initial meetings by bringing both Russian and Ukrainian representatives together in Antalya and Istanbul.
This May, Türkiye once again succeeded in organizing a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul, marking their first dialogue after more than three years of hostilities.
The negotiations took place on May 16 at Istanbul’s historic Dolmabahce Palace.
The second session of talks is slated for Monday at 1 pm local time (1000 GMT) and will be held at Istanbul’s Ciragan Palace.
During the May 16 meeting, both parties consented to swap 1,000 prisoners each, share comprehensive proposals on a potential ceasefire, and commit to continuing the dialogue.
The prisoner exchange was completed on May 25 as announced.
International stakeholders have often voiced their approval of the initiation of the peace process in Istanbul, and the talks hosted by Türkiye have garnered extensive attention from global media outlets.
