The sign from US-Russia talks that Moscow is in the driving seat
Thursday, 10 April 2025 The latest US-Russia prisoner swap is a further sign of the thawing relations between Moscow and Washington, but I think it's also an indication of how slow things are moving.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that critical Russia-Ukraine peace talks are set for Wednesday in Turkey. As the war drags on and battlefield realities shift, questions loom large over what Zelensky might concede—and what Moscow might demand. With Ukraine's military under relentless assault and Russian forces pushing deeper, the stakes for this diplomatic meeting couldn't be higher. The world watches anxiously: Will this be a real step toward peace or just another failed negotiation? All eyes now turn to Ankara as Western allies grow restless, humanitarian crises deepen, and Ukraine faces increasing pressure to admit the truth about the shifting balance on the ground.

In a striking show of regional power and coordination, Iran and Russia have launched CASAREX 2025—a large-scale joint search-and-rescue naval drill in the Caspian Sea. The three-day exercise, titled “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea,” is hosted by Iran’s Northern Fleet and involves elite units from the Iranian Navy, IRGC, and Law Enforcement Command.
A Russian naval vessel has already entered Iranian waters to begin the operational phase in the Imam Reza (AS) Maritime District. Military observers from other Caspian nations are present, further highlighting growing regional cooperation. Defense experts view this as a major geopolitical signal of Iran-Russia maritime alignment and a direct rebuttal to Western influence in regional waters. This unprecedented drill underscores rising multipolar power dynamics, boosting Tehran and Moscow’s call for autonomous regional security. The Caspian, once overlooked, is fast becoming a strategic stage in the global power competition.

Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month.

In a high-stakes overnight assault, Russia unleashed a devastating missile and drone barrage on Ukraine. The attack featured Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles—some of Moscow’s most advanced and costly weapons—reportedly targeting key defense industry facilities and airbases, particularly in the Ivano-Frankivsk region where combat aircraft were said to be stationed. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed all intended targets were successfully hit. However, Ukraine countered with reports of Patriot missile systems intercepting several incoming threats, though conflicting claims persist.
The strikes also rattled Poland, which scrambled aircraft in response. With each Kinzhal missile costing nearly $10 million, the assault underscores Russia’s intent to Cripple Ukraine’s air capabilities and destroy Western-supplied equipment. But with growing doubts about the Kinzhal's maneuverability and Ukraine’s increasing interception rates, the missile’s “hypersonic” reputation faces scrutiny. Regional tensions are now on edge as both sides escalate their battle for air superiority.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered intensified drone strikes on Russian weapons facilities, urging allies to ramp up drone and air defense production. Despite his recent peace overture, Zelensky’s aggressive directive comes as Russia’s missile and drone attacks have surged, with over 5,400 strikes in July alone. While both Kyiv and Moscow had hinted at renewed peace talks, Zelensky’s escalatory move has cast fresh doubts over the prospects for diplomacy, signaling a hardening of Ukraine’s battlefield stance ahead of negotiations.
