Hey kids! Guess what? There’s some hopeful news from Ukraine and Russia! 🌍
On Monday, Ukraine and Russia had important talks in Istanbul, Turkey. They sat down together to try and find ways to bring peace. 🕊️
Officials said that the talks went well and there were some positive developments, especially about helping people affected by the conflict.
Ukraine proposed a 30-day ceasefire, which means no fighting for a whole month! They also asked for the release of prisoners and for young soldiers and children to be returned home. 🙏
Russia agreed to return 6,000 bodies of soldiers who had sadly died. Both sides also agreed to exchange soldiers who are badly injured and those aged between 18 and 25. This means many families might see their loved ones again soon. ❤️
Russia also suggested stopping the fighting in some areas for two to three days. That could be a big step toward peace! ✌️
Ukraine’s defense minister said they hope to have the next round of talks before the end of June. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more good news! 🤞
