Turkey says Ukrainian, Russian negotiators agreed in principle to meet again
Ukrainian and Russian officials who held direct talks in Istanbul on Friday agreed in principle to meet again for negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says.
Fidan, who chaired the talks between negotiators from Russia and Ukraine, said in a post on X after the two sides agreed to exchange 1,000 prisoners of war each that the move was intended as a confidence-building measure. He said the two sides would also share in writing their conditions for a ceasefire.
