On day 1,174 of Russia's war on Ukraine, uncertainty looms over a proposed meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Istanbul. US President Trump hinted at possibly attending the talks, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaged with Ukrainian and European officials on a ceasefire. Ukraine and Europe are considering new sanctions against Russia due to Putin's silence and ongoing military clashes, emphasizing concerns over a 30-day ceasefire proposal being ignored by Moscow.
Moscow has yet to say whether Russian leader Vladimir Putin will attend direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy slated for Thursday in Istanbul.
Ukraine's military said that there had been 133 clashes with Russian forces along the front lines up to Monday night.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he held a joint call with Ukrainian and European officials to discuss a way forward for a ceasefire.
Germany said it is also preparing sanctions against Moscow if the talks stall.
