Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia are set to commence in Istanbul on Friday, marking the first direct negotiations between the two nations in over three years. However, the absence of Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, who have opted not to attend, casts doubt on the potential for significant progress.

International observers, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have expressed skepticism about the talks yielding substantial outcomes without the direct involvement of both presidents.

The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for any signs of de-escalation and progress towards peace.
