'Ready to talk for peace': Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif's offer to India
Friday, 16 May 2025 Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday expressed a willingness to engage in peace talks with India, despite recent military confrontations. Sharif further emphasised that addressing the Kashmir issue is a crucial condition for establishing lasting peace. His statement follows a period of heightened tensions between the two nations following the Pahalgam terror attack.

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.

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.

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.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has proposed June 2 as the next date for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, following their first meeting since 2022 on May 16. Russia claims it’s ready with a detailed peace memorandum and awaits Kiev’s confirmation. Lavrov thanked Türkiye, the US, and Saudi Arabia for facilitating dialogue. This development follows the largest Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap yet—1,000 individuals exchanged. Talks aim at lasting peace, with Moscow pushing for Ukraine’s neutrality and non-NATO status amid Western media claims of delays.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links.
Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy.
