Zelenskyy hits out at US envoy as he says minerals deal getting closer
Thursday, 17 April 2025 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused US envoy Steve Witkoff of "spreading Russian narratives" about the Ukraine war - as he said a much-anticipated minerals deal was moving closer.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to “let the war continue.”

Russia has raised serious questions after Ukraine allegedly refused to receive over 6,000 fallen soldiers’ bodies offered in a humanitarian gesture. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova asked if Zelensky personally made the call—or if NATO intervened. Russia published 97 names to aid grieving families while accusing Kiev of hiding losses to avoid payouts. Ukraine denies stalling but hasn’t provided a new date. As talks in Istanbul stall, anger grows over the silence. Families remain in limbo, and the political blame game intensifies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Donald Trump’s latest analogy calling the Russia-Ukraine war “a fight between two kids.” Rejecting the playground comparison, Zelensky thundered, “Putin didn’t come to play—he came to Kill children.” The chilling rebuttal came as global leaders urged U.S. action. Trump, however, signaled a hands-off stance, drawing criticism. The Kremlin labeled the war existential. With tensions high, Zelensky’s emotional retort reframes the war as a deadly invasion — not a childish scuffle — and challenges the West’s moral responsibility to act.

A deadly new chapter in the Ukraine-Russia war is unfolding. After Ukraine launched strikes on Russian nuclear bases, President Vladimir Putin vowed swift retaliation. The Kremlin has already responded with missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian targets, killing civilians and escalating the war dramatically.
In a stunning statement, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for provoking Moscow, saying Zelensky "gave Putin a reason to strike." Trump also questioned the reliability of American intelligence, suggesting he's being fed a filtered version of the truth.
As Operation Spiderweb intensifies and diplomatic channels break down, fears of a full-scale East-West confrontation are growing. Who’s really in control—and what comes next?

Iran has signaled openness to a nuclear deal—if a proposed regional uranium consortium is based within its borders. The U.S. proposal, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, suggests shared enrichment oversight with countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey under IAEA monitoring. However, Iran's Supreme Leader dismissed any plan not based on Iranian soil, calling it a national threat. With enrichment caps and underground work restrictions on the table, talks aim to balance nuclear transparency with Tehran’s sovereignty concerns. A sixth round of negotiations may take place this weekend.

Hamas has rejected the US-brokered ceasefire plan led by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it biased and lacking in substance. Senior Hamas official Jihad Taha said the proposal fails to address key Palestinian demands, including a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and binding guarantees to end hostilities. While reports suggest preliminary progress during talks in Doha, Hamas remains deeply skeptical, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis unless the international community intervenes urgently.

Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, has sparked controversy by praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and defending his trip to Moscow for the Future Forum 2050.

Explosions lit up the night sky across at least 10 Ukrainian regions, with Kyiv and Rivne among the hardest hit.
