Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization effortsâsuch as removing statues and renaming citiesâPutin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed âde-Nazificationâ as a central goal of Russiaâs war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

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.
