About This Trend
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait, known for its rich cultural influences and historic landmarks such as the Hippodrome and Hagia Sophia.
The city is currently trending due to its role as the venue for Ukraine-Russia peace talks, with world leaders including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin involved in the discussions, although Putin has been criticized for sending a low-level delegation to the talks.
