Ukraine's Zelenskiy set for talks in Turkey in new peace drive: #Reuters

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will hold talks in Turkey on Wednesday and meet U.S. Army officials in Kyiv on Thursday in a new drive to revive peace negotiations with Russia.
No face-to-face talks have taken place between Kyiv and Moscow since a meeting in Istanbul in July and Russian forces have pressed on with Moscow's nearly four-year-old war in Ukraine, killing 19 people in strikes overnight. Efforts to revive peace negotiations appear to be gaining momentum although Moscow has shown no sign of changing its terms for ending the war. It played down a media report that the United States was working on a 28-point peace plan.
UKRAINE'S TOP PRIORITY IS ENDING WAR
Announcing plans to visit Turkey, Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he was preparing to "reinvigorate negotiations" and would discuss with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan how to bring a "just peace" to Ukraine.
"Doing everything possible to bring the end of the war closer is Ukraine's top priority," he said of the meetings in Turkey.
Turkey, a NATO member that has remained close to both sides, hosted an initial round of peace talks in the early weeks of the war in 2022, the only such talks until this year when U.S. President Donald Trump launched a new bid to end the fighting.
