U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks following a meeting in Turkey. They discussed the exchange of prisoners "1000 for 1000" and readiness for a ceasefire.
Also, UNN reported that a meeting between Kremlin head Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may take place, but only if the parties reach "certain agreements."
At the same time, U.S. Special Representative Steve Witkoff canceled his visit to Russia. This happened because Russian dictator Vladimir Putin refused to consider a peace plan with 22 points. The plan was developed jointly by Ukraine, the United States and Europe.
