The second round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Turkey once again did not yield any ceasefire results on Monday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy <www.foxnews.com/category/world/volodymyr-zelenskyy> reiterated his demand that Russian President Vladimir Putin “must not receive any reward for [his] war.”
Despite an apparent memorandum of terms given to Ukraine <www.foxnews.com/category/world/conflicts/ukraine> by the Russian delegation, Moscow once again refused to agree to an unconditional ceasefire defined by a U.S. proposal and already agreed to by Kyiv.
Following the talks – which appeared to last for less than three hours, though some reporting noted they lasted for less than one hour – the head of the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, said his Russian counterparts not only refused ceasefire terms, but also to a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin <foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-agrees-meet-putin-thursday>.
A massive 6,000 to 6,000 prisoner exchange was agreed to and will secure the release of sick, seriously injured prisoners and those under the age of 25.
Ukraine also handed over a list containing the names of several hundred children that Russia illegally deported and relocated from occupied territories of Ukraine, though it is unclear if Russian authorities have agreed to return any of the children, many of whom have been “adopted” by Russian parents <www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2025-0096_EN.html>.
“The key to lasting peace is clear – the aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression,” Zelenskyy said in a post to X <x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1929558748281942366> following his address at a NATO security summit in Lithuania. “Any reward would only show him that war pays off.”
Zelenskyy’s comments and the peace talks came just one day after a surprise drone strike dubbed “Operation Spiderweb” by Ukraine inside Russia in which Moscow’s military complex was targeted, and roughly a third of it’s cruise missile carriers were apparently destroyed.
Zelenskyy said the attack “seriously weakened their military” and “showed what modern war really looks like and [that’s] why it’s so important to stay ahead with technology.”
