Kremlin Slams Ukraine: 'No Signs of Talks', Zelensky Maintains Ban on Direct Negotiations with Putin

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. #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineConflict #Kremlin #DmitryPeskov #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineTalks #PeaceTalks #Diplomacy #UkraineBan #Russia #InternationalRelations #UkraineNews #Geopolitics Also Read Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire For Fourth Night Amid Rising Tensions After Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-violate-ceasefire-for-fourth-night-amid-rising-tensions-after-pahalgam-attack-4137009.html?ref=DMDesc Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Halts Supply Entry To Gaza, Warns Of Further Action If Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-halts-supply-entry-to-gaza-warns-of-further-action-if-hamas-rejects-ceasefire-deal-4084551.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~GR.121~

In a stunning and unexpected move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire in the ongoing war in Ukraine, set to take place from May 8 to May 10, 2025.

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~
