For the first time since 2022, Ukraine and Russia are engaging in peace talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sent a delegation to Istanbul to meet with Russian officials, in a bid to negotiate a path forward. Although Zelenskyy had publicly challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend in person, the Kremlin has declined, sending a delegation instead.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from Istanbul.
