US President Donald Trump stated in Doha that he might travel to Turkey on Friday if the ongoing Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations show significant progress. Trump’s comments come as international focus shifts to the Istanbul talks, marking the first direct peace push since the conflict reignited. While Putin isn’t attending, Ukraine’s Zelensky may join if Trump does. This potential high-level presence could reshape the talks. Trump emphasized his flexibility and readiness to step in if diplomacy shows traction, hinting at a breakthrough in what many consider a stalled negotiation process.

A Russian delegation has arrived in Istanbul for long-awaited ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine, state media reported Thursday. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who demanded Putin’s presence for direct negotiations, is meeting Turkish President Erdogan first before deciding next steps. While the agenda and duration remain uncertain, the talks mark the first direct attempt at peace since early 2022. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions may extend beyond Thursday depending on their progress.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, despite proposing them himself. The Kremlin has instead assigned presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation. President Trump is also skipping the summit, lowering hopes for any major breakthrough. While Ukraine’s Zelenskyy had demanded Putin’s presence, he is reportedly en route to Turkey. The US has sent Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key envoys. A ceasefire proposal and prisoner exchange remain on the table amid the absence of top leaders from the historic talks.

Tehran and European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal—Germany, the UK, and France—will meet in Istanbul on May 16 to discuss the Iran nuclear file and U.S.-Iran indirect talks. This marks the fourth round of consultations since 2024, after a delayed April meeting in Rome. The talks come after a round of Oman-mediated U.S.-Iran negotiations, with both sides reporting progress. With the deal’s snapback sanctions clause set to expire in October, European officials are considering invoking it—raising the stakes in what could be a turning point for the nuclear agreement.
