The Ukrainian leader waited for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Turkish capital Ankara on May 15 after challenging him to face-to-face discussions on ending their countries’ 3-year-old war.

Mr. Putin’s absence punctured hopes of a breakthrough in peace efforts that were given a push in recent months by the Trump administration and Western European leaders.
