The second round of ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia is taking place in Istanbul, following increased military activity, including a drone strike on Russian airbases that destroyed key aircraft. This comes on the heels of a previous round of discussions that occurred last month. At the same time, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to meet with US President Donald Trump to advocate for a more equitable ceasefire, aware of pressures for tougher sanctions against Russia. Despite the losses, experts suggest Russia retains the ability to strike Ukraine from its own airspace.
Military expert Carlo Masala notes that despite significant losses to its air force due to Ukrainian strikes, Russia can still launch attacks from its own territory.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz is determined to advocate for a 'fair ceasefire' in Ukraine, leveraging conversations with President Trump and possibly discussing sanctions.
