"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post that he would visit Turkey on Wednesday in an attempt to revive peace negotiations. "We are preparing to reinvigorate negotiations, and we have developed solutions that we will propose to our partners," Zelenskyy said. "We are also working to restore [prisoner-of-war (POW)] exchanges and bring our prisoners of war home," he added."
"But Reuters news agency reported, citing Turkish officials, that US special envoy Steve Witkoff is also expected to join the talks. The announcement follows signals from Moscow, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov last week saying that Russia was "open to negotiation processes" to resolve the conflict. Ukrainian and Russian negotiators last met in Istanbul in July. The talks at the time came as US President Donald Trump was pushing for negotiations, but they yielded no breakthrough."
