Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are back on the table in Istanbul. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky says Moscow is open to “possible compromises,” with a high-level delegation from defense, foreign affairs, and intelligence ministries already in place. Ukraine, which initially demanded a 30-day ceasefire, changed its stance after Donald Trump publicly backed renewed negotiations. President Zelensky, while refusing direct dialogue with Putin, has sent Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to lead the talks.

Vladimir Putin will not attend the high-stakes Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul. Instead, Kremlin aide and nationalist figure Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian delegation, reigniting debate over Russia's negotiation sincerity. Medinsky, known for his controversial historical views, previously led failed 2022 talks with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky insists only Putin’s presence signals real intent. He refuses to meet lower-tier officials. Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to skip the event. The absence of top leaders adds doubt over whether Istanbul's negotiations will yield any breakthrough in the ongoing war.

NATO General Mark Rutte slammed Russia for sending a ‘low-level’ delegation to the Peace talks being held in Istanbul. Rutte also objected to Vladimir Putin not attending the talks, especially when Zelensky was present, calling it a missed opportunity. He added that Ukraine was ready for peace, but the ball was in Russia’s court.

As famine looms in Gaza, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is open to alternatives after a US-Israel aid plan was slammed by critics and rejected by the UN. Speaking from Turkey, Rubio emphasized concern for Gaza’s civilians, calling for solutions that bypass Hamas. The new Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver 300 million meals, but little is known about it. The UN insists its impartial system remains the best route. Meanwhile, Netanyahu prepares a new offensive and reiterates a firm stance on Hamas’ elimination.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, despite proposing them himself. The Kremlin has instead assigned presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation. President Trump is also skipping the summit, lowering hopes for any major breakthrough. While Ukraine’s Zelenskyy had demanded Putin’s presence, he is reportedly en route to Turkey. The US has sent Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key envoys. A ceasefire proposal and prisoner exchange remain on the table amid the absence of top leaders from the historic talks.

Just days before the Pahalgam terror attack, a controversial U.S.-Pakistan crypto deal was signed in Islamabad involving Trump’s sons and Jared Kushner. With a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family aims to position Pakistan as South Asia’s crypto hub. The deal has drawn criticism in New Delhi over alleged political motives, especially with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s backing. Despite growing scrutiny, Trump’s family and the White House remain silent, while Pakistan’s Crypto Council claims the agreement is purely economic and focused on blockchain integration and digital inclusion.

Gaza is reeling from what residents call a “Bloody Thursday,” with over 150 people reportedly killed within 24 hours during intense Israeli airstrikes. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) defended the attacks, claiming to have targeted terror hubs, including rocket launchers and operative cells. The strikes come days after two hospitals were bombed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the U.S. should take Gaza and turn it into a “freedom zone,” clashing with Israel’s stated goals. The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 53,000, according to local authorities.

Houthis launched their 4th missile strike on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport within 48 hours. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed a successful “qualitative military operation” using a hypersonic missile that disrupted air travel and sent millions into shelters. Despite Israeli defense systems intercepting the projectile, sirens blared across Tel Aviv, amplifying regional tensions. The Houthis have declared an aerial blockade campaign to pressure an end to the Gaza war.

Russia launched 112 UAVs, including Iranian-made Shahed drones, in a massive overnight assault on Ukraine from May 15–16. Ukraine’s air defense shot down 73 drones as swarms struck the Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv regions. Ukrainian forces used aircraft, missile units, and EW systems to repel the attack. Thirty-six decoy UAVs vanished from radar without causing damage. Russia continues to target both civilian and military infrastructure nightly, raising fears of prolonged regional instability and humanitarian crises.

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.

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. Zelensky cited concerns over the legitimacy of the Russian delegation—headed by Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky—calling it a potential “sham” with no real mandate to make decisions.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck central Türkiye during high-stakes peace talks between Presidents Zelensky and Erdogan. The quake was strongly felt in Ankara, Konya, and nearby cities, prompting swift emergency response. Authorities, including Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya and Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavas, confirmed no casualties or major damage. AFAD teams have begun field assessments. Residents were urged to remain calm. Türkiye, situated on active fault lines, remains vigilant following the devastation of the February 2023 earthquakes. The next round of peace negotiations is now set for Istanbul, away from the quake’s epicenter.
