Nine killed in Russian attack on civilian bus, Ukraine's military says
Saturday, 17 May 2025 () A Russian attack on a civilian bus in Ukraine's northeast Sumy region has killed nine people and injured four others, the Ukrainian military has said.
At least nine people were killed and four injured after a Russian Lancet drone struck a civilian bus in Bilopillia, northeastern Ukraine, early Saturday. The attack occurred mere hours after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks since 2022 in Istanbul, where both sides agreed to a...
Russia and Ukraine concluded their first direct peace talks since 2022 in Istanbul, ending in under two hours. A major breakthrough remained elusive, with both nations agreeing only on a large prisoner swap of 1,000 POWs each. Ukraine, backed by Western allies, demanded a ceasefire, but Russia rejected the proposal and introduced new demands. Leaders from the U.S. and Europe called for tougher sanctions. Meanwhile, fighting intensifies on Ukrainian soil, with casualties mounting and fresh offensives anticipated. Hopes for a ceasefire dimmed as diplomacy stalled.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed in principle to resume peace negotiations after high-level talks in Istanbul, Turkish FM Hakan Fidan confirmed. The breakthrough includes a major exchange of 1,000 prisoners from each side—marking the largest such swap since the war began. Both delegations agreed to submit written ceasefire proposals, though no deadline has been set. Türkiye, acting as a neutral mediator, facilitated the talks. The renewed dialogue follows a surprise push by Russian President Vladimir Putin, with hopes rising for a peaceful resolution to the two-year-long conflict.

Pope Leo XIV has offered the Vatican as a venue for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, following the failed negotiations in Istanbul where Putin was notably absent. The Vatican called Putin’s no-show “tragic” and reaffirmed its openness to mediation. Cardinal Parolin acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but stressed the Holy See’s readiness. In his first Sunday blessing, Pope Leo urged both leaders to “meet, talk, and negotiate,” emphasizing that peacemakers are the ones who truly “make history.” The Pope has pledged to prioritize peace throughout his papacy.
