Istanbul Talks BREAKING: Putin, Zelensky Delegation Fails at Peace in Istanbul? Ukraine Peace Far
The highly anticipated peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul have ended abruptly after less than two hours, with no sign of progress.
Ukrainian sources described Russia’s demands—reportedly including a withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from their own territory-as “unrealistic” and “detached from reality.”

Pope Leo XIV has offered the Vatican as a venue for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, following the failed negotiations in Istanbul where Putin was notably absent. The Vatican called Putin’s no-show “tragic” and reaffirmed its openness to mediation. Cardinal Parolin acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but stressed the Holy See’s readiness. In his first Sunday blessing, Pope Leo urged both leaders to “meet, talk, and negotiate,” emphasizing that peacemakers are the ones who truly “make history.” The Pope has pledged to prioritize peace throughout his papacy.

Zelensky delivered a stunning rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being "afraid" to attend critical peace talks in Turkey. Speaking after the Istanbul summit collapsed with no major breakthroughs, Zelensky told European leaders—including French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz—that he was ready for a face-to-face meeting, but Putin chose to hide behind subordinates.

Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks in over three years on Friday in Turkey, marking a rare diplomatic engagement since the war began. Though the meeting lasted under two hours and yielded no major breakthroughs, both sides agreed to a significant 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Ukraine is pushing for direct talks between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Each side will now submit a ceasefire proposal. While Ukrainian officials dismissed Russia’s demands as “non-starters,” both nations signaled a cautious willingness to keep talks alive.

Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap.

President Trump said Friday that he's moving to set up direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as he can, after Putin opted to skip peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. "I think it's time for us to just do it," Mr. Trump told reporters as he wrapped a four-day visit to the Middle East. Later, he told reporters on Air Force One, setting off on the journey back to Washington, that he might call Putin soon. "He and I will meet, and I think we'll solve it or maybe not," Mr. Trump said. "At least we'll know. And if we don't solve it, it'll be very interesting."

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.
