Trump says he has call with Putin planned - as Ukraine condemn Russia over bus attack
Saturday, 17 May 2025 () Donald Trump has said he will speak to Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy separately on Monday in a bid to secure a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine.
In a dramatic turn after the collapse of the latest Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a crucial phone call discussing the future of negotiations and potential ceasefire conditions. Lavrov welcomed Washington's “constructive” approach, while Rubio praised a proposed 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange as a positive step. As both sides seek new diplomatic footing, speculation is mounting over a possible high-stakes meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to break the deadlock and chart a path toward ending the war.

Hamas appears rattled following Israel’s intense military offensive, Operation Gideon’s Chariots. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a series of strategic attacks that have reportedly pressured Hamas into reconsidering its stance and returning to the negotiating table. This development signals a potential shift in the ongoing conflict, with Israel leveraging its military operations to force Hamas toward dialogue and possibly de-escalation.

Trump’s Big Defeat Against Houthis? The U.S. has withdrawn its aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, from the Red Sea without replacement — signaling what many see as a strategic retreat under pressure from Yemen’s Houthi forces. The move follows a ceasefire brokered by Oman, aiming to halt maritime attacks. But while the U.S. and Houthis have paused direct hostilities, Houthi operations against Israel continue.

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions “genocide,” pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents.

US President Donald Trump has warned of imposing “crushing” new sanctions on Russia if Moscow fails to strike a peace deal with Ukraine. Speaking after the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks since 2022, Trump said the US would use its leverage and domestic oil production to weaken the Russian economy. He also hinted at a possible meeting with President Putin. Meanwhile, the two warring sides agreed on a major prisoner exchange involving 1,000 POWs each and committed to working on a comprehensive ceasefire proposal in the coming weeks.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman in the world” and accusing him of walking away from Washington with massive aid packages. In a new interview, Trump said he hated to see billions “pissed away” on Ukraine and questioned where the money went. With Congress growing skeptical, Trump also highlighted how Zelensky’s influence has waned. The remarks come just as Russia and Ukraine agreed to a major prisoner swap during their first direct peace talks in three years.

Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap.

Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks in over three years on Friday in Turkey, marking a rare diplomatic engagement since the war began. Though the meeting lasted under two hours and yielded no major breakthroughs, both sides agreed to a significant 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Ukraine is pushing for direct talks between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Each side will now submit a ceasefire proposal. While Ukrainian officials dismissed Russia’s demands as “non-starters,” both nations signaled a cautious willingness to keep talks alive.
