U.S., Russia to Hold Embassy-Focused Talks in Istanbul; Ukraine Conflict Off the Agenda | Watch

The U.S. and Russia will hold the next round of diplomatic talks in Istanbul on April 10, focusing solely on stabilizing embassy operations.

The U.S. State Department confirmed Ukraine will “absolutely not” be on the agenda.

The discussions follow earlier rounds in Riyadh and Istanbul under the Trump administration's push to reset ties with Moscow.

Despite continuing geopolitical tensions, both sides are aiming to address diplomatic staffing, property restrictions, and flight operations.

Russia will be represented by Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev, while the U.S. delegation will be led by Sonata Coulter.

‘No NATO? Then No Disarmament’ France’s Big WARNING Against Russia |France Draws Red Line On Ukraine [Video]

‘No NATO? Then No Disarmament’ France’s Big WARNING Against Russia |France Draws Red Line On Ukraine

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister SĂ©bastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine. Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance. #France #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #SebastienLecornu #UkraineNATO #NATOmembership #Putin #Kyiv #Demilitarization #Geopolitics #EUForeignPolicy #Macron #RedLine #CoalitionOfTheWilling #RussiaDemands #PeaceDeal #IstanbulTalks #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid Also Read Russia And North Korea Forge New Alliance Amid Ongoing War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-and-north-korea-forge-new-alliance-amid-ongoing-war-in-ukraine-3857193.html?ref=DMDesc Heightened Nuclear Risks As Russia, China Forge Closer Ties: NATO Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heightened-nuclear-risks-as-russia-china-forge-closer-ties-nato-chief-3855631.html?ref=DMDesc Hundreds Exchanged in Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Swap, Marking Largest Release Since Invasion :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-ukraine-prisoner-swap-hundreds-freed-in-largest-exchange-gen-3718639.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Trump Pulls Plug On Russia Talks? Moscow FUMES As Hopes For Diplomatic Thaw Crash Again

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty.

Erodgan’s Dirty Politics RESURFACES As More CHP Leaders Arrested After Imamoglu’s Imprisonment

In a dramatic escalation of Turkey’s political crackdown, three more opposition mayors — Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya — have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu’s imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdogan’s government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHP’s presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkey’s largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues. #Turkey #Erdogan #CHP #Imamoglu #OppositionArrests #TurkeyPolitics #CHPMayors #Adana #Antalya #Adiyaman #EkremImamoglu #ProtestsInTurkey #DemocracyUnderThreat #TurkishElections #Authoritarianism #CorruptionCharges #PoliticalCrackdown #Turkey2028Elections #HumanRights #FreeImamoglu ~HT.410~ED.103~

Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ‘Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears

Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself “Children of Fire” claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign. The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town ÇeƟme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues. #TurkeyWildfires #ArsonAttack #ChildrenOfFire #PKK #IzmirFire #AntalyaFire #WildfireTerror #TurkeyEmergency #ForestFires #ClimateCrisis #TerrorismAlert #PoliticalArson #Kurds #EmergencyEvacuation #ÇeƟmeFires #TurkishDisaster #SecurityThreat #FightingFlames #FirefighterHero #IzmirBurns ~ED.194~HT.408~

“No Deal? Too Bad” — Trump Threatens Massive Sanctions on Russia as 50-Day Deadline Looms

U.S President Donald Trump has issued a blistering 50-day warning to Russia: reach a deal, or face the full force of U.S. tariffs and sanctions. Speaking on the Ukraine-Russia war, Biden declared he’s “on nobody’s side” — except the side that wants the killing to stop. But if Moscow doesn’t act, the U.S. is ready to strike economically. With time ticking and global tensions high, this could mark a major turning point in the war — or a slide into deeper confrontation. What happens if the Kremlin refuses?

WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific. #Lavrov #SCO #China #Russia #NATO #IndoPacific #EastAsiaSecurity #Geopolitics #USNATO #PacificAsia #GlobalSecurity #RussiaChina #SCO2025 #LavrovSpeech #NATOExpansion #AsianSecurity #MultipolarWorld #BRICS #StrategicAlliance #GeopoliticalTensions #PacificRegion #SecurityArchitecture #RussiaChinaAlliance #SCOChina #IndoPacificStrategy #USChinaRivalry #NATOinAsia #SCOsummit #RussiaVsNATO #AsiaSecurity #GlobalOrder Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Russia MOCKS Trump’s ‘Ultimatum’ | Lavrov Laughs at 100% Tariffs & U.S.-EU Weapons Push for Ukraine

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow. Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat. The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #SergeiLavrov #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #USTariffs #OneindiaNews #USRussiaRelations Also Read Can You Hit Moscow?

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis
