Russia, Ukraine Discuss Peace and POW Swap in Turkey Talks

Ukraine and Russia, who are at war, met in Turkey to talk about peace.

They agreed to swap prisoners of war.

Ukraine wants its president, Zelensky, to talk directly with Russia's president, Putin.

The meeting also discussed short breaks in fighting to collect the injured and dead.

The main problem is they disagree on who owns what land.

Russia wants Ukraine to give up some land it claims to have taken, but Ukraine refuses unless a ceasefire is in place.

The United States is also putting pressure on Russia to make a deal.
