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~

‘Turkey Talks DOOMED without Trump and Putin’ Says Rubio | Talks Stall Amid Global Frustration

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions.

‘Zelensky or NATO?’ Russia Questions On Who Blocked Return Of Fallen Ukrainian Soldiers' Bodies

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. #Zelensky #NATO #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #FallenSoldiers #WarCasualties #BodyExchange #Zakharova #Kiev #MilitaryLosses #RussiaFM #UkraineRefuses #NATOInvolvement #UkraineNews #HumanitarianCrisis #PrisonerExchange #WarUpdate #IstanbulTalks #UkraineConflict #MilitaryCoverup Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian Ex-DJ Named As Alleged 'Mastermind' Of Russia Airbase Drone Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-ex-dj-named-as-alleged-mastermind-of-russia-airbase-drone-attacks-4171927.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Russia has published the names of 97 fallen Ukrainian soldiers after Kiev allegedly refused to receive over 6,000 bodies returned in a humanitarian gesture. The move comes after talks in Istanbul, where Russia also offered a large prisoner exchange. Officials accuse Ukraine of hiding military losses to avoid compensation. Kiev denies delaying the process but hasn’t confirmed a new timeline.

Ukraine Delays POW Exchange And Bodies Transfer Despite Istanbul Deal, Russia ‘Furious’ Over Move

Ukraine has unexpectedly postponed a planned exchange of prisoners of war and bodies of fallen soldiers, despite agreements reached during negotiations in Istanbul. Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky stated that Kyiv failed to send its delegation or provide a finalized list of POWs, leaving thousands of Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies in cold storage. Russia, claiming full readiness to proceed, released footage of the frozen remains awaiting transfer. The delay, said to be “for an indefinite period,” has drawn criticism for depriving families of proper burials and violating earlier commitments. #UkraineRussia #POWexchange #BodiesTransfer #IstanbulAgreement #Zelensky #Medinsky #WarDead #MilitaryBurial #UkraineDelay #HumanitarianCrisis #FrozenBodies #PrisonersOfWar #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #NoDelegation #UnfulfilledAgreements #EasternFront #ColdStorage #MilitaryDeadlock #WarNegotiations Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian Ex-DJ Named As Alleged 'Mastermind' Of Russia Airbase Drone Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-ex-dj-named-as-alleged-mastermind-of-russia-airbase-drone-attacks-4171927.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

‘Kiev Regime a TERRORIST Organisation’ | Putin hits out at Zelensky days after Op Spider’s Web

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. #PutinVsZelensky #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #TerrorismAllegations #CeasefireRejected #PeaceTalks #IstanbulTalks #RussiaAccusesUkraine #BridgeAttack #TrainBlast #WarCrimes #MoscowClaims #PutinStatement #ZelenskyResponse #NoCeasefire #KyivRejectsTruce #PrisonerExchange #UkraineNews #BreakingNews #WarEscalation #RussianDemands #AnnexedRegions #ConflictUpdate #RussiaUkraineTensions #Lavrov #Medinsky #Geopolitics #UkraineSabotage #EasternEurope #CeasefirePolitics #PutinSpeech Also Read 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Khamenei REJECTS US Nuclear Proposal | US Tries to ROPE Iran Into Nuke Deal With Nuclear Consortium

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. #Iran #NuclearDeal #UraniumConsortium #MiddleEastPolitics #USIranTalks #EnrichmentDeal #SteveWitkoff #IAEA #Tehran #GlobalSecurity #NonProliferation #IranNews #InternationalDiplomacy #SaudiArabia #Turkey #UAE #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #NuclearOversight #IranNuclearProgram #DiplomaticTalks #CivilNuclear #UraniumEnrichment #IranSovereignty #Geopolitics #IranUSA #NuclearTensions #EnergySecurity #MiddleEast #PeaceTalks #RegionalSecurity Also Read Three Indians Reported Missing In Iran; Embassy Coordinates Search Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-indians-reported-missing-in-iran-embassy-coordinates-search-efforts-4166117.html?ref=DMDesc Massive Explosion At Iran's Bandar Abbas: Over 500 Injured :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/massive-explosion-at-irans-bandar-abbas-at-least-47-injured-4135773.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Reaches Out To India, Pakistan To De-Escalate Cross-Border Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/iran-reaches-out-to-india-pakistan-to-de-escalate-cross-border-tensions-4135431.html?ref=DMDesc
