How to achieve a lasting ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine?
It took three years to get officials from Ukraine and Russia in the same room. But President Vladimir Putin, who proposed the meeting, did not go to Istanbul and the talks ended in less than 90 minutes. The result: an agreement for a large-scale prisoner exchange, talks about their presidents meeting, and both sides pushing their vision of a future ceasefire.

And with Russia steadily advancing on the battlefield, can President Zelenskyy afford to push for peace without further compromise?
