Russia and Ukraine are set to hold their first direct peace talks in nearly two months, meeting in Istanbul for a third round of negotiations aimed at ending the ongoing war.

Expectations for a significant breakthrough are low, with both sides warning against expecting 'miracles.' The resumption of talks reflects faint signs of diplomatic life, but a lasting peace remains elusive.
