Kremlin says Ukraine has yet to answer Russian proposal for June 2 talks
- The Kremlin announced that Russia proposed a second round of peace talks with Ukraine scheduled for June 2 in Istanbul, but Ukraine has not yet responded to the proposal.

- Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Russian and Ukrainian leaders to support the peace process, while U.S. officials, including Marco Rubio, joined recent discussions increasing diplomatic engagement ahead of talks.
- U.S. President Donald Trump expressed conditional hope for negotiations but signaled possible shifts in Washington’s approach if Russia shows insincerity, warning he is "very disappointed" by escalating attacks amid efforts for peace.
- The planned Istanbul talks highlight ongoing caution as Kyiv seeks balanced proposals, while analysts note previous cease-fires quickly failed and Moscow’s cease-fire offers serve domestic and image goals more than actual conflict resolution.
