Ukraine proposes renewed peace talks with Russia next week

Ukrainian President Zelensky has called for a leadership-level meeting with Russia next week to advance ceasefire negotiations, emphasizing the need to improve negotiation dynamics and address key issues like prisoner exchanges and the return of children. Russia has reportedly received Ukraine's proposal for talks, following a brief and unsuccessful ceasefire negotiation in Istanbul. The call for talks coincides with US President Trump's warning of tariffs on Russia if a ceasefire isn't achieved within 50 days, though analysts doubt this will influence Russia's military actions.
