In their first call since 2022, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron held a lengthy discussion covering the Ukraine war and Iran's nuclear ambitions. Macron urged a ceasefire and stressed support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, while Putin blamed the West for fueling the conflict and defended Tehran’s nuclear rights under the NPT. Both leaders addressed rising Iran-Israel tensions and U.S. strikes on Iranian infrastructure. They agreed to coordinate further on Iran’s nuclear issue and emphasized continued diplomatic engagement.

The U.S. State Department has responded sharply to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s claim that increased NATO defense spending will lead to the alliance’s collapse. Lavrov criticized the West's growing military budgets, warning it will destabilize Europe. The U.S. rejected the remarks, stating that enhanced European defense spending strengthens regional security and counters Russian aggression. As tensions rise, President Putin accuses NATO of hypocrisy, claiming these moves will ultimately harm the continent. The transatlantic alliance shows no signs of retreating under Russian pressure.

Russia now claims full control of Ukraine’s Luhansk region—its first completely occupied territory since the 2022 invasion. Leonid Pasechnik, Moscow’s installed leader in Luhansk, declared the region “100% liberated” on Russian state TV. If confirmed, this marks a major shift in battlefield control. President Putin has rejected ceasefire calls and insists all four annexed regions—including Luhansk—will remain Russian forever. Ukraine, yet to respond, continues to reject all claims of Russian sovereignty over occupied territory.

Ukraine has unexpectedly postponed a planned exchange of prisoners of war and bodies of fallen soldiers, despite agreements reached during negotiations in Istanbul. Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky stated that Kyiv failed to send its delegation or provide a finalized list of POWs, leaving thousands of Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies in cold storage. Russia, claiming full readiness to proceed, released footage of the frozen remains awaiting transfer. The delay, said to be “for an indefinite period,” has drawn criticism for depriving families of proper burials and violating earlier commitments.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched a scathing attack on Russia's proposal for a short-term ceasefire aimed at recovering bodies from the battlefield, calling it a sham and labeling the Russian delegation “idiots.” The remarks came after the second round of peace talks in Türkiye, where Russia's lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky suggested a 2–3 day truce for humanitarian reasons. Zelensky dismissed the idea, arguing that Russia continues to bombard Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles nightly.

The second round of Russia-Europe peace talks in Istanbul ended in just over an hour, achieving no breakthrough. Led by Vladimir Medinsky and Rustem Umerov, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations sat across a U-shaped table, mediated by Turkey. Despite plans to exchange ceasefire terms, both sides remained sharply divided. Ukraine submitted a list of deported children and announced a new POW release. The talks occurred amid rising tensions following Ukraine’s Operation “Spider’s Web” and Russia’s threats to deploy nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles.

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky is en route to Istanbul for proposed peace talks with Ukraine on June 2. While Moscow expresses hope, Ukraine remains skeptical, demanding immediate delivery of Russia’s ceasefire draft and calling Russia’s silence a stalling tactic. Kyiv insists it already sent its own draft and had earlier demanded a 30-day truce—rejected by Russia. With tensions high, accusations mounting, and delegations unchanged, the possibility of a real breakthrough appears increasingly remote.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced a second round of peace talks with Ukraine, proposed for June 2 in Istanbul. Moscow plans to present a formal memorandum outlining its "vision for peace" and will offer clarifications during the talks. The Russian delegation, again led by Vladimir Medinsky, hopes for international backing. However, Ukraine’s participation remains uncertain, especially after receiving strong military and diplomatic support from Germany. With tensions high, whether this new round yields progress remains to be seen.
