Putin Backs Ukraine Ceasefire, But Demands Guarantees on Extremist Control and Militarization Limits
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says President Putin supports a Ukraine ceasefire, but only if Kiev guarantees control over extremist forces and halts militarization.
The statement follows U.S. President Trump’s call to end hostilities, citing heavy casualties.
Moscow insists that past agreements have been violated by Ukraine, though Russia continues to honor them.
Putin also agreed to a 30-day pause on strikes against energy infrastructure, hinting at warmer U.S.-Russia ties.
However, unresolved concerns over Ukraine’s military stance may still trigger retaliatory action from Moscow.

US President Donald Trump has warned of imposing “crushing” new sanctions on Russia if Moscow fails to strike a peace deal with Ukraine. Speaking after the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks since 2022, Trump said the US would use its leverage and domestic oil production to weaken the Russian economy. He also hinted at a possible meeting with President Putin. Meanwhile, the two warring sides agreed on a major prisoner exchange involving 1,000 POWs each and committed to working on a comprehensive ceasefire proposal in the coming weeks.

A Russian delegation has arrived in Istanbul for long-awaited ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine, state media reported Thursday. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who demanded Putin’s presence for direct negotiations, is meeting Turkish President Erdogan first before deciding next steps. While the agenda and duration remain uncertain, the talks mark the first direct attempt at peace since early 2022. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions may extend beyond Thursday depending on their progress.

President Trump revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would “like” him to participate in Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, though he’s unsure due to his packed schedule, including a trip to the UAE.

In this latest update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slams Ukraine for showing no sign of readiness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia. Despite Moscow’s openness to peace talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains a strict ban on any negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a move he implemented in October 2022 to stop separatism and control backchannel talks. Peskov insists that Ukraine must act, especially in light of its legal ban on direct talks.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified that no additional orders were given to prolong the ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated willingness to extend the truce if Moscow adhered to the terms, but both sides reported hundreds of attacks during the declared pause in hostilities.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman in the world” and accusing him of walking away from Washington with massive aid packages. In a new interview, Trump said he hated to see billions “pissed away” on Ukraine and questioned where the money went. With Congress growing skeptical, Trump also highlighted how Zelensky’s influence has waned. The remarks come just as Russia and Ukraine agreed to a major prisoner swap during their first direct peace talks in three years.

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.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” 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.

Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are back on the table in Istanbul. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky says Moscow is open to “possible compromises,” with a high-level delegation from defense, foreign affairs, and intelligence ministries already in place. Ukraine, which initially demanded a 30-day ceasefire, changed its stance after Donald Trump publicly backed renewed negotiations. President Zelensky, while refusing direct dialogue with Putin, has sent Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to lead the talks.

In a major twist, Russia has signaled readiness to resume direct peace talks with Ukraine, with Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky stating Moscow is open to "discussion and possible compromises." Speaking from Istanbul ahead of the highly anticipated negotiations, Medinsky is leading a senior delegation including top defense and intelligence officials. This comes after President Putin’s recent proposal to restart dialogue—sparking speculation of a strategic U-turn in Moscow’s stance.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.
