"Nothing Going To Happen" : Trump DEMANDS Direct Meeting With Putin | Zelensky Waits In Istanbul

Former U.S. President Donald Trump declared no real resolution can happen in the Russia-Ukraine war unless he meets directly with Vladimir Putin. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said Putin wouldn’t attend Turkey talks without him. Ukrainian President Zelensky dismissed Russia’s delegates as “stand-in props” and challenged Putin to a direct meeting without preconditions. As conflict continues, with 168 clashes reported Wednesday, Trump offered to join peace talks if needed. Putin remains non-committal, and Russia’s low-level delegation casts doubt on the Kremlin’s seriousness. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #Zelensky #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineConflict #USPolitics #Geopolitics #TurkeySummit #VladimirPutin #DonaldTrump #AirForceOne #Ceasefire #Kremlin #RussiaNews #UkraineUpdates #Erdogan #GlobalConflict #TrumpNews #PutinTalks #ZelenskyVsPutin #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #PeaceEfforts #UkraineCrisis #MilitaryClashes #RussiaDelegation #DirectTalks #TrumpPutinMeeting Also Read Ukraine Peace Talks Kick Off in Malta Without Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-peace-talks-kick-off-in-malta-without-russia-gen-3670237.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Russia INSULTS Zelensky, Calling Him a Clown and Pathetic Ahead of Critical Istanbul Ukraine Talks

Tensions flared as Russia and Ukraine traded insults just before their first direct peace talks in over three years. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia’s delegation a “Dummy team,” while Moscow fired back, labeling him a “clown” and “pathetic.” Putin is skipping the talks despite global pressure, instead sending a hardliner historian who denies Ukraine’s nationhood. Talks will take place in Istanbul’s Dolmabahce Palace under strict watch. With emotions high and leadership absent, hopes for a breakthrough remain fragile. #Zelensky #Putin #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Istanbul #DolmabahcePalace #Ukraine #Russia #Erdogan #Diplomacy #ConflictResolution #Geopolitics #ClownComment #DummyDelegation #GlobalTensions #PutinSnub #ZelenskySpeech #RussiaUkraineCrisis #BreakingNews #WarAndPeace #InternationalRelations #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #AnkaraMeetings #TurkeyMediation #PeaceProcess #PutinVsZelensky #HardlineDelegation #RubioStatement #TrumpComments #PeaceNegotiations Also Read Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

Zelensky has announced he will not personally attend the upcoming peace talks with Russia in Istanbul, opting instead to send a delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. The decision follows a nearly three-hour closed-door meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed gratitude to Pope Leo XIV for offering to mediate global peace. In a heartfelt message on X, Zelensky called peace Ukraine’s “most sacred wish” and welcomed the Pope’s readiness to help end war. He reaffirmed Kyiv’s call for a full ceasefire and proposed a personal high-level meeting with Russia. The Pope had made his offer during an audience with Eastern Church pilgrims in Rome. His remarks are the latest in a string of Vatican efforts to reduce tensions worldwide and promote diplomacy over war. #Zelensky #PopeLeoXIV #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #HolySee #UkraineRussiaWar #GlobalPeace #Ceasefire #UkraineNews #PopeMediation #Vatican #WarMediation #EasternChurch #ZelenskyRussiaMeeting #HolySeeMediation #WorldPeace #UkraineConflict #Pontiff #Rome Also Read Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

U.S’S Move SHOCKS Zelensky | Ukraine’s NATO Membership Not On Agenda | NATO Summit | Russia- Ukraine

In a dramatic diplomatic shift, the US is reportedly blocking Ukrainian President Zelensky from attending next month’s NATO summit in The Hague. Media reports suggest Ukraine’s membership bid is off the agenda to avoid friction with President Trump, who has ruled out NATO accession for Kiev. While Ukraine may attend minor sessions, it will be sidelined from top-level talks. Meanwhile, only a few non-member nations like Japan and Australia are invited. NATO’s message is clear — Ukraine may be an ally, but not a member, at least not any time soon. #Zelensky #NATO #Ukraine #NATOSummit #Trump #USUkraine #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #NATOnews #ZelenskySnubbed #Kiev #UkraineMembership #Biden #Putin #NATOmembership #TheHague #UkraineConflict #EuropeNews #MilitaryBloc #Diplomacy

‘Kiev has no capacity...’ | Macron STUNS Ukraine with a brutal assessment

French President Emmanuel Macron has delivered a stark assessment of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, stating bluntly that Ukraine cannot retake territories already lost to Russia. Acknowledging that even Ukrainian authorities are aware of this, Macron emphasized the need for a united international effort to support Ukraine—without escalating into World War III. Calling for peace, he said Ukraine must be positioned strongly for negotiations and confirmed that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Instead, Macron proposed a deployment of reassurance forces by willing allies, stationed far from the frontlines. The comments come ahead of planned peace talks in Istanbul, which remain deadlocked over Ukraine’s refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea. #Macron #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #France #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #Crimea #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #MacronStatement #UkraineRussiaWar #BreakingNews #FranceForeignPolicy #NATO #Peacekeeping #Ceasefire #MacronOnUkraine #UkraineUpdate #GlobalSecurity #RussiaWarning #IstanbulTalks #UkraineTerritories #MacronSpeech #MilitarySupport #UkraineAllies #UkraineNegotiations #UkraineNews #RussiaUkrainePeace #SolidarityWithUkraine #UkraineNotInNATO Also Read Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Army Gets Russia-Made Igla-S Missiles :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indian-army-gets-russia-made-igla-s-missiles-4143017.html?ref=DMDesc Pahalgam Attack: Scared Pakistan Seeks China, Russia's Intervention For Investigation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pahalgam-attack-scared-pakistan-seeks-china-russias-intervention-for-investigation-4136899.html?ref=DMDesc

In a bold move ahead of critical peace talks in Istanbul, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenges Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet face-to-face, daring him to engage in direct discussions for the first time in years. As the world watches, Putin lashes out at Ukraine’s forced conscription tactics, accusing Kyiv of "snatching people like dogs in the streets."
