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.

He may have been speaking at an economic forum, but that didn’t stop Vladimir Putin from issuing his most hawkish comments on Ukraine in a very long time. Sky News
Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that “the whole of Ukraine is ours” while mocking Kyiv’s military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraine’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy “stupidity,” he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.

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.

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.

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.

Putin has issued a stark warning to the West: if Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities, Russia may be forced to step in. The explosive statement hints at a possible alliance between Moscow and Tehran, fueling fears of a broader regional war—or even World War 3. As tensions soar in the Middle East, global powers are bracing for what could become the most dangerous military confrontation of the century.

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region.

Ukraine has accused Russia of stalling peace negotiations by withholding a promised memorandum ahead of proposed Istanbul talks. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that Ukraine won't attend without seeing the terms first, fearing a diplomatic ambush. The Kremlin insists its terms will be presented only at the table, while Kyiv seeks a cease-fire as the first step. With rising battlefield tensions and behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy, the looming talks remain uncertain. Trump’s envoy urged Ukraine to “show up,” even without clarity—raising serious doubts about Russia’s intentions and the talks’ credibility.

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust.
