Asked 1 day ago

Answer

Ukraine and Russia are holding new peace talks amid ongoing fighting, with little hope for a breakthrough. Key issues include territorial control, Ukraine's NATO ambitions, and prisoner exchanges. Russia continues strikes and holds about 20% of Ukrainian territory. Domestically, Ukraine faces major protests over a controversial anti-corruption law.
