💨 Abstract

Uncertainty surrounds potential direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul. The Kremlin hasn't disclosed who will represent Russia, and Ukraine demands clarity on Putin's participation before deciding its next steps. President Donald Trump, who might attend, is considering sanctions against Russia if it obstructs the peace process. Putin proposed talks without preconditions, but hasn't confirmed his attendance. Zelenskiy will only attend if Putin is present.
