00:00Turkish officials say the second round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended barely an hour after they started in Istanbul on Monday, June 2.
00:09This, a day after a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
00:15The talks, the second time both sides have met directly since 2022, started almost two hours late.
00:21Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the aim of the meeting was to look at the chances for a ceasefire,
00:27talk about a possible meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents, and explore more prisoner exchange options.
00:34Later, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking from Lithuania, said both sides were working on a new prisoner exchange.
00:41His chief of staff added that Ukraine gave Russia a list of deported children that it once returned.
00:46No other details about the talks were shared.
00:49The two sides were also expected to discuss their very different ideas of a ceasefire and a long-term peace deal.
00:56This amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump that the U.S. might stop helping with the talks if there is no progress.
01:03No other details about the U.S. should have made a difference.
01:04We are now on the right side of the U.S. right now.
01:05Soon after the U.S. will be able to address the development of New York and the U.S.
01:06.
01:07And this is understandable for two weeks.
01:08We look at these two days and a Constantini side.
01:10This is very clear to you till the end of the day where it's still a constant class,
01:13and that is not just a constant class that impacts them at the end of the day.
01:15Perhaps, but it's still time to continue to Dane in the past.
01:16The following day, the future of the USA will be able to participate more strongly to deal with the United States.
01:18And that's a great thing to support Tank of the other.
01:19So, I said, yes.
01:21A lot of the best folks who are doing well in the past few years.
01:23And that's really complicated.
