Russian and Ukrainian negotiators sat across the table in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday (March 29) in their first face-to-face meeting in over a fortnight. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on Feb 24, prospects for a peaceful resolution of the conflict have appeared dim.
Ukraine on Tuesday offered to accept becoming neutral if it receives adequate security guarantees from Western nations, abandoning aspirations to join Nato.
