Putin, Trump, Zelensky, Erdogan to discuss peace in Ukraine? Turkey pitches summit, Kremlin rejects

Turkey is pushing for a high-level Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy summit to cap the ongoing Istanbul peace talks on Ukraine. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, claims the war could end in 2025 if all sides commit to talks and a lasting cease-fire. While Ukraine demands advance proposals and a full cease-fire, Russia insists on presenting terms in person. The U.S. threatens to disengage if Moscow resists progress, and Trump’s 30-day truce initiative remains stalled amid territorial disputes. #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #TurkeyDiplomacy #Zelenskyy #Putin #Trump #CeasefireNow #RussiaUkraineConflict #HakanFidan #UkrainePeaceDeal #GlobalDiplomacy #Geopolitics #IstanbulTalks #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #TerritorialDispute #Peace2025 #TrumpPeacePlan #UkraineNews #PutinZelenskyy #TurkeyMediation #Kremlin #USWarning #CeasefireTalks #UkraineRussiaSummit #UkraineUpdate #PutinProposal #TrumpInitiative #WarResolution #PeaceEffort Also Read Erdogan Reaffirms Support For Islamabad Amid India Tensions: 'Long live Pakistan-Turkiye Friendship' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/erdogan-reaffirms-support-for-islamabad-amid-india-tensions-long-live-pakistan-turkiye-friendship-4163705.html?ref=DMDesc India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Kyiv’s Memorandum Demands REVEALED But Russia Fails to Reveal its Promised Memorandum | Peace Talks [Video]

Kyiv’s Memorandum Demands REVEALED But Russia Fails to Reveal its Promised Memorandum | Peace Talks

Ukraine has accused Russia of stalling peace negotiations by withholding a promised memorandum ahead of proposed Istanbul talks. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that Ukraine won't attend without seeing the terms first, fearing a diplomatic ambush. The Kremlin insists its terms will be presented only at the table, while Kyiv seeks a cease-fire as the first step. With rising battlefield tensions and behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy, the looming talks remain uncertain. Trump’s envoy urged Ukraine to “show up,” even without clarity—raising serious doubts about Russia’s intentions and the talks’ credibility. #ukraine #russia #war #peaceprocess #istanbultalks #putin #zelensky #ceasefire #ukrainerussiawar #nato #diplomacy #russianmemorandum #andriisybiha #kremlin #moscow #trump #trumpspecialenvoy #kellogg #peaceplan Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

Will Ukraine accept Russia's PEACE talks invite? Russian delegation awaits |Breakthrough soon? [Video]

Will Ukraine accept Russia's PEACE talks invite? Russian delegation awaits |Breakthrough soon?

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky is en route to Istanbul for proposed peace talks with Ukraine on June 2. While Moscow expresses hope, Ukraine remains skeptical, demanding immediate delivery of Russia’s ceasefire draft and calling Russia’s silence a stalling tactic. Kyiv insists it already sent its own draft and had earlier demanded a 30-day truce—rejected by Russia. With tensions high, accusations mounting, and delegations unchanged, the possibility of a real breakthrough appears increasingly remote. #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulMeeting #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDelegation #VladimirMedinsky #Ceasefire #DiplomaticTensions #LavrovProposal #UkraineDemands #Kyiv #Moscow #PutinZelensky #TruceTalks #Stalemate #GlobalDiplomacy #RussiaUkraineConflict #UkraineWarNews #RussiaUkrainePeace #Geopolitics #RoundTwoTalks #NoBreakthrough #UkraineResponse #ConflictResolution #UkraineRussia2025 #CeasefireDraft #Zelensky #PutinSkipped #MedinskyLeads #UnchangedDelegation Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~GR.124~

Lavrov UNLEASHES FURY On West | Accuses Of Backing Ukraine Drone Terror To Sabotage Peace Talks

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Kiev’s Western allies, including the EU and UK, of backing recent massive drone strikes on Russian civilians to derail the renewed peace talks with Ukraine. Lavrov said nations like France, Germany, and Britain are enabling Ukrainian “Nazis” and bear responsibility for the attacks. Over 880 drones and missiles have been launched into Russian territory since Tuesday, according to Moscow. Lavrov also warned that Western calls for a ceasefire mask plans to further militarize Europe and prolong the war for their geopolitical interests. #Lavrov #UkraineWar #DroneStrike #RussiaUkraine #EU #UK #France #Germany #Putin #Zelensky #PeaceTalks #Kiev #NATO #Geopolitics #MilitaryConflict #WarCrimes #Ceasefire #WesternInterference #DroneAttack #RussiaNews Also Read India Successfully Foils Pakistan's Attempts to Strike Military Sites in Jammu and Pathankot Amid Rising Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-thwarts-pakistan-drone-strikes-jammu-pathankot-011-4147949.html?ref=DMDesc What Makes Ukraine’s Minerals So Special?

IAF Unleashes Fury on Pak Airbases - Chaklala in Islamabad, Nur Khan base in Rawalpindi Decimated

On May 8, India neutralised Pakistan’s massive wave of drone and combat vehicle raids targeting key IAF bases from Jammu to Jaisalmer. The attacks came in waves but were completely neutralised by India’s vigilant air defence systems, including Pechora and SAMAR units. No damage occurred to any installations or personnel. This marks a decisive failure of Pakistan’s attempted escalation. #IAF #DroneAttack #OperationSindoor #PakistanRaidFoiled #AirDefence #Pechora #SAMAR #IndianAirForce #IndiaStrikesBack #ZeroDamage ~HT.410~

Hamas Releases Video Of 2 Israeli Hostages Urging Israel To Stop War | 54 Hostages Still in Gaza

Hamas has released a video showing two Israeli hostages held in Gaza—Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana, both abducted on October 7, 2023. In the footage, Bohbot appears weak and unresponsive, while Ohana urges the Israeli government to end the war and secure their release. Families of the hostages are demanding urgent action, criticizing the government for not doing enough. Outside Israel’s Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, protesters held signs reading “We Can Save the Rest” and “All of Them Now,” as tensions over the stalled hostage deal intensify. #GazaHostages #Hamas #Israel #HostageCrisis #October7 #ElkanaBohbot #YosefOhana #IsraelGazaWar #HostageDealNow #BringThemHome #TelAvivProtests #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #HostageVideo #IsraelDefenseForces #GazaWar #IDF #EndTheWar #PeaceNow #GazaNews #BreakingNews #IsraelPolitics #SaveTheHostages #HostageRelease #IsraelProtests #WarInGaza #GazaConflict #StopTheWar #AllOfThemNow #WeCanSaveTheRest #IsraelUnderFire Also Read Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~
