(Reuters) – Russian and U.S. diplomats will meet in Istanbul tomorrow for talks aimed at restoring their respective diplomatic missions, seen as a step towards ending the war in Ukraine, both sides said on Wednesday. The talks come as the administration of President Donald Trump reversed his predecessor Joe Biden’s policy to isolate Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and instead focus on restoring ties with Moscow and ending the three-year war with Kyiv.
