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.

Iran has signaled openness to a nuclear deal—if a proposed regional uranium consortium is based within its borders. The U.S. proposal, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, suggests shared enrichment oversight with countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey under IAEA monitoring. However, Iran's Supreme Leader dismissed any plan not based on Iranian soil, calling it a national threat. With enrichment caps and underground work restrictions on the table, talks aim to balance nuclear transparency with Tehran’s sovereignty concerns. A sixth round of negotiations may take place this weekend.
