‘I’ll Attend Turkey Peace Talks Only If…’ Zelensky To Attend Turkey Peace Talks on ONE CONDITION

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, despite proposing them himself. The Kremlin has instead assigned presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation. President Trump is also skipping the summit, lowering hopes for any major breakthrough. While Ukraine’s Zelenskyy had demanded Putin’s presence, he is reportedly en route to Turkey. The US has sent Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key envoys. A ceasefire proposal and prisoner exchange remain on the table amid the absence of top leaders from the historic talks. #Putin #Zelenskyy #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #IstanbulSummit #Trump #Ceasefire #Kremlin #MarcoRubio #UkraineNews #BreakingNews #TurkeySummit #RussiaNews #VolodymyrZelenskyy #PutinSkipsTalks #TrumpAbsent #UkraineRussiaPeace #WarInEurope #GlobalDiplomacy Also Read JNU Suspends MoU With Turkish University As Reports Of Ankara Helping Pakistan Against India Emerge :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jnu-suspends-mou-with-turkish-university-as-reports-of-ankara-helping-pakistan-against-india-emerge-4153301.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Provided Pakistan With Army Personnel, More Than 350 Drones During Operation Sindoor: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/turkey-provided-pakistan-with-army-personnel-more-than-350-drones-during-operation-sindoor-reports-4153045.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey-Made Armed 'Asisguard Songar' Drones Used By Pakistan Against India.

Trump REJECTS Saudi Coffee Upsets MBS Over Royal Honors | Then MBS Brings McDonald’s To The Palace

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia for high-level trade talks, greeted with an extravagant welcome by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The reception included a royal fighter jet Escort and a traditional coffee ceremony—though Trump declined the coffee, a move considered culturally insensitive. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accepted on Trump’s behalf, easing tension. To cater to Trump’s preferences, Saudi officials even arranged McDonald’s trucks near the venue. The visit reflects the Kingdom’s strategic effort to strengthen U.S. ties—mixing tradition with tailored hospitality. #TrumpInSaudi #SaudiArabia #MohammedBinSalman #USSaudiRelations #TradeTalks #TrumpVisit #RoyalWelcome #SaudiJets #MiddleEastDiplomacy #MarcoRubio #SaudiCustoms #CulturalDiplomacy #TrumpMcDonalds #BurgerDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #USPolitics #MBS #GlobalTrade #Geopolitics #TrumpNews #WhiteHouse #SaudiHospitality #GulfRelations #InternationalAffairs #TrumpAbroad #StateVisit #PoliticalDrama #BreakingNews #TrumpInRiyadh #TrumpInGulf #SaudiUS Also Read India Rejects Trump’s Trade Claim New Delhi Denies US Role In India-Pakistan Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-rejects-trump-s-trade-claim-new-delhi-denies-us-role-in-india-pakistan-ceasefire-4151755.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump May Temporarily Use Qatar’s $400 Million 'Flying Palace' As Air Force One Amid Ethics Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-may-temporarily-use-qatar-s-400-million-flying-palace-as-air-force-one-amid-ethics-s-4151121.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Welcomes Trump's Offer To Mediate Kashmir Dispute, Says Islamabad Dedicated To 'Promote Peace' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-welcomes-trumps-offer-to-mediate-kashmir-dispute-says-islamabad-dedicated-to-promote-pea-4150395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~

"Nothing Going To Happen" : Trump DEMANDS Direct Meeting With Putin | Zelensky Waits In Istanbul

Former U.S. President Donald Trump declared no real resolution can happen in the Russia-Ukraine war unless he meets directly with Vladimir Putin. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said Putin wouldn’t attend Turkey talks without him. Ukrainian President Zelensky dismissed Russia’s delegates as “stand-in props” and challenged Putin to a direct meeting without preconditions. As conflict continues, with 168 clashes reported Wednesday, Trump offered to join peace talks if needed. Putin remains non-committal, and Russia’s low-level delegation casts doubt on the Kremlin’s seriousness. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #Zelensky #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineConflict #USPolitics #Geopolitics #TurkeySummit #VladimirPutin #DonaldTrump #AirForceOne #Ceasefire #Kremlin #RussiaNews #UkraineUpdates #Erdogan #GlobalConflict #TrumpNews #PutinTalks #ZelenskyVsPutin #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #PeaceEfforts #UkraineCrisis #MilitaryClashes #RussiaDelegation #DirectTalks #TrumpPutinMeeting Also Read Ukraine Peace Talks Kick Off in Malta Without Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-peace-talks-kick-off-in-malta-without-russia-gen-3670237.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

The decision follows a nearly three-hour closed-door meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.
