Russia Ukraine War News: The second round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul also failed to yield results. In this meeting that lasted for about an hour, Russia once again rejected the proposal of an 'unconditional ceasefire'. Ukrainian representative Sergei Kislitsya gave this information in a press conference after the talks. However, Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed that both sides have agreed on a new 'prisoner exchange'. Let us tell you that earlier on May 16, no concrete solution was found in the first talks as well. Meanwhile, tensions in Russia remained at their peak during the talks itself. Many influential pro-war bloggers demanded the Kremlin launch a 'counter-attack' on Kyiv. Overall, instead of talks, this meeting turned out to be a sham exercise.
