In a dramatic turn after the collapse of the latest Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a crucial phone call discussing the future of negotiations and potential ceasefire conditions. Lavrov welcomed Washington's “constructive” approach, while Rubio praised a proposed 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange as a positive step. As both sides seek new diplomatic footing, speculation is mounting over a possible high-stakes meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to break the deadlock and chart a path toward ending the war. br br #RussiaUkraineTalks #PeaceInUkraine #LavrovRubio #IstanbulTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #CeasefireNow #PutinTrumpMeeting #UkraineCrisis #DiplomacyInAction #UkrainePeaceDeal #TurkeyMediation #RussiaUkraineUpdate #WarToPeace #IstanbulDiplomacy #POWExchangebr br Also Readbr br Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: br US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: br Russian Drone Strike Hits Indian Pharma Warehouse In Kyiv, Ukraine Accuses Moscow Of ‘Deliberate Targeting’ :: br br br ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.
