Can Ukraine and Russia get closer to a ceasefire at the second round of talks in Istanbul?

Following a dramatic drone assault by Ukraine under 'Operation Spider’s Web', Russia has vowed retaliation. President Putin reportedly told Donald Trump in a 75-minute call that a response is inevitable after over 40 Russian bombers were destroyed. The Kremlin later confirmed that the military would decide “how and when” to act. The drone strikes were part of a long-planned Ukrainian operation. Hours later, Russian drones struck back, killing five civilians in Ukraine. Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv surge as both sides brace for further escalation.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has appointed General Mykhailo Drapatyi as Joint Forces Commander, just days after his resignation over a deadly Russian strike in Dnipro that killed 12 unarmed recruits. Drapatyi will now oversee frontline combat, with another officer handling training. Amid rising Russian missile attacks and internal military tensions, Drapatyi has blasted Ukraine's “toxic command culture” and called for urgent reforms. Analysts see the move as part of Zelensky’s broader attempt to balance rival factions and reassert control over Ukraine’s war effort.

Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of “resorting to terrorism,” blaming President Zelensky for deadly attacks on civilians, including a bridge blast and train derailment that killed seven and injured over 100. Calling the Kyiv government a “terrorist organization,” Putin rejected Ukraine’s proposed 30-day ceasefire, alleging it would allow rearmament. Moscow claims Kyiv’s sabotage aims to derail peace talks in Istanbul. Despite tensions, both sides agreed to begin a prisoner exchange between June 7–9, even as accusations deepen the diplomatic crisis.

Ukraine has declared a nationwide air alert after Russian MiG-31K jets—capable of carrying Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles—took off, sparking immediate concern of long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force urged civilians to seek shelter. This comes in retaliation for Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian bomber bases, which destroyed over 40 aircraft. Overnight, Russia launched waves of drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, causing casualties. Failed peace talks in Istanbul and Putin's silence since the air base losses signal deepening conflict and an unpredictable escalation ahead.

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase.

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.
