Scholz's phone call with Putin opens 'Pandora's box', says Zelenskyy
Saturday, 16 November 2024 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised a phone call between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying it has opened a "Pandora's box".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that his phone call to the Russian president on Friday would only serve to make Vladimir Putin feel less isolated.
Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, dismissing Ukraine’s recent anti-corruption drive as a “publicity stunt.” The leaders accused Zelensky of using scandals to distract from battlefield setbacks and declining Western support. With tensions escalating across the eastern front, the Putin-Lukashenko alliance is sending a strong signal to Kyiv and NATO.

Lukashenko criticized the former U.S. president’s understanding of the complex regional dynamics, stating, “If Trump wants peace, he should start with listening, not lecturing.”

With the liberation of Chasiv Yar claimed and the Oreshnik system in action, global attention turns to what this game-changing development means for the future of the war.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.

Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim “disinformation” and “propaganda.” Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar.
The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.
