Russia, US Hold Fresh Round of Talks in Turkey on Restoring Ties

Russia and the US on Thursday started a new round of talks aimed at normalizing diplomatic relations in Turkey's Istanbul, even amid a lack of apparent progress in separate negotiations on ending the invasion of Ukraine. The talks will focus on restoring the two countries' diplomatic missions as well as direct flights between the two nations that Washington suspended after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to the US Alexander Darchiyev told state news service RIA Novosti. The war in Ukraine is not on the agenda, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters on Tuesday.
