US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned against indefinite peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine following their first direct talks in three years, held in Istanbul. The meeting led to a major prisoner swap and discussions on a future ceasefire. Rubio emphasized that while peace is crucial, Washington demands tangible results and won’t support open-ended talks. He also warned of new sanctions if no deal is reached. Meanwhile, Moscow insists that Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and military posture must be addressed to secure a lasting truce.

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.

Russia and Ukraine concluded their first direct peace talks since 2022 in Istanbul, ending in under two hours. A major breakthrough remained elusive, with both nations agreeing only on a large prisoner swap of 1,000 POWs each. Ukraine, backed by Western allies, demanded a ceasefire, but Russia rejected the proposal and introduced new demands. Leaders from the U.S. and Europe called for tougher sanctions. Meanwhile, fighting intensifies on Ukrainian soil, with casualties mounting and fresh offensives anticipated. Hopes for a ceasefire dimmed as diplomacy stalled.

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?

Zelensky has announced he will not personally attend the upcoming peace talks with Russia in Istanbul, opting instead to send a delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. The decision follows a nearly three-hour closed-door meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara. Zelensky cited concerns over the legitimacy of the Russian delegation—headed by Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky—calling it a potential “sham” with no real mandate to make decisions.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck central Türkiye during high-stakes peace talks between Presidents Zelensky and Erdogan. The quake was strongly felt in Ankara, Konya, and nearby cities, prompting swift emergency response. Authorities, including Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya and Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavas, confirmed no casualties or major damage. AFAD teams have begun field assessments. Residents were urged to remain calm. Türkiye, situated on active fault lines, remains vigilant following the devastation of the February 2023 earthquakes.
