U.S. President Trump expressed optimism about the upcoming talks between Russia and Ukraine, stating that the meeting scheduled for Thursday could lead to a positive outcome.

The Turkish Foreign Minister indicated that there is a possibility for Russia and Ukraine to reach an agreement in the coming days to commence talks in Istanbul.

This development comes as a significant step towards potential diplomatic resolution between the two nations, with both Trump and Erdogan playing crucial roles in facilitating the talks. The upcoming meeting in Istanbul is seen as a pivotal moment that could shape the future of the conflict and pave the way for a peaceful settlement.
