As Russian forces continue to gain momentum in Ukraine's Donetsk region, Moscow could also be planning an imminent push further south, according to Kyiv, with fears rising over Zaporizhzhia.
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 â 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 launched deadly airstrikes across Ukraine just hours after ending its unilateral Easter ceasefire. Odesa was hit by a massive overnight drone attack, striking residential buildings, schools, and critical infrastructure. In Zaporizhzhia, Soviet-era glide bombs killed one woman and injured 22 civilians, including children. Ukraine reports over 2,900 ceasefire violations in just days. As Moscow escalates with 54 Shaheed drones in one night, tensions rise ahead of high-stakes talks between Kyiv, Washington, London, and Paris. Zelenskyy slams the ceasefire as a âshamâ masking continued aggression.

Trumpâs special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism ahead of the former presidentâs phone call with Vladimir Putin, calling it a potential âsuccessâ that could help end the Ukraine conflict. This follows the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks in three years, which saw a prisoner exchange and renewed ceasefire discussions. Witkoff said Trump aims for a stable truce and final peace deal, warning that if diplomacy stalls, âcrushing sanctionsâ await Moscow. Putin, however, insists talks must address NATO concerns and that Ukraine must halt mobilization and weapons inflow to ensure a lasting ceasefire.

In a major overnight assault on May 15â16, Russia launched 112 dronesâincluding Shahed modelsâat Ukraine, striking multiple regions.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a âparty of warâ in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.
