Peace Talks or False Hope?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a bold challenge to Vladimir Putin: meet in Istanbul this Thursday for peace talks — but only if Russia agrees to a ceasefire starting Monday.

Putin has rejected a broader 30-day truce but hinted he may consider direct talks in Turkey. Yet, as Russian drones continue to bombard Ukrainian cities, skepticism grows over Moscow’s true intentions.

European leaders are firmly backing Ukraine’s call for an unconditional ceasefire — and warning of tougher sanctions if Russia refuses to engage.

Will Istanbul mark the beginning of peace — or just another missed opportunity?

What do you think? Can diplomacy still stop this war, or has it gone too far?
