In a significant move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended an invitation to Ukraine for direct peace talks in Turkey. The Kremlin emphasizes its commitment to finding a lasting peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.

This diplomatic initiative has been met with support from global leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. Countries within the BRICS group have also shown a positive response to Russia's approach.
