Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation.

Russia has raised serious questions after Ukraine allegedly refused to receive over 6,000 fallen soldiers’ bodies offered in a humanitarian gesture. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova asked if Zelensky personally made the call—or if NATO intervened. Russia published 97 names to aid grieving families while accusing Kiev of hiding losses to avoid payouts. Ukraine denies stalling but hasn’t provided a new date. As talks in Istanbul stall, anger grows over the silence. Families remain in limbo, and the political blame game intensifies.

Russia has published the names of 97 fallen Ukrainian soldiers after Kiev allegedly refused to receive over 6,000 bodies returned in a humanitarian gesture. The move comes after talks in Istanbul, where Russia also offered a large prisoner exchange. Officials accuse Ukraine of hiding military losses to avoid compensation. Kiev denies delaying the process but hasn’t confirmed a new timeline. Governor Balitsky and other Russian negotiators have called it a calculated cover-up, further fueling tensions as families remain in the dark about their loved ones' fate.

Turkey is pushing for a high-level Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy summit to cap the ongoing Istanbul peace talks on Ukraine. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, claims the war could end in 2025 if all sides commit to talks and a lasting cease-fire. While Ukraine demands advance proposals and a full cease-fire, Russia insists on presenting terms in person. The U.S. threatens to disengage if Moscow resists progress, and Trump’s 30-day truce initiative remains stalled amid territorial disputes.

A light-hearted AI-generated video featuring baby versions of world leaders stole the spotlight at the European Political Community summit in Tirana, Albania. More than 40 leaders—including Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen—were greeted by animated infant versions of themselves saying “Welcome to Albania” in their native languages. Italian PM Meloni burst into laughter, while Erdoğan’s baby avatar—complete with mustache—prompted a rare smile.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?
