KABUL: A new two-day round of peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations is set to commence soon in Turkey, Reuters reported on Monday evening.
According to the report, the delegations from both countries are expected to arrive in Turkey tomorrow (Wednesday) and will engage in discussions on Thursday and Friday.
Russian state media, including TASS and RIA Novosti, have also confirmed the timing of the talks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for increased action from Russia in light of the upcoming discussions.

Zelensky stated, “The requests for this round of talks are clear, the return of prisoners of war, the repatriation of children abducted by Russia, and readiness for a meeting of leaders.”
