Thus, it appears Trump has dropped his earlier demand for an immediate ceasefire before peace talks—a position Ukraine had previously accepted—and now supports negotiations on a lasting peace while fighting continues, a stance the Kremlin has consistently pushed since the last Istanbul talks.

"Well, because of what happened today, I don't think I need to think about it. Maybe I need to think about it in 2 or 3 weeks or something, but we don't need to think about it right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well."
