Crimea is Russia’s training ground for colonisation, Kyiv envoy says
Crimea is Russia’s training ground for colonisation, Kyiv envoy says
There is one topic on which Kyiv and Moscow will never agree, and yet, for both sides, this point is of the utmost importance — Crimea.
Olha Kuryshko, the Ukrainian president’s permanent representative in Crimea, told Euronews that Russia implemented its 2014 techniques on all occupied territories.

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.

The US has drafted a new sanctions package against Russia targeting major energy and banking sectors. However, its enforcement hinges on President Donald Trump’s approval as Washington balances pressure with peace prospects. Amid ceasefire talks between Moscow and Kiev, Trump’s administration is weighing a deal recognizing Crimea and freezing the war front. Internal debate continues as senators demand harsher penalties, while others warn sanctions could derail diplomacy. The final decision rests with Trump, whose stance could reshape the conflict's trajectory and America's role in Ukraine's future.

In a major shift, the U.S. has stepped back from directly mediating Ukraine-Russia peace talks, urging both sides to present concrete proposals for ending the war. The move comes as President Trump grows frustrated with the lack of progress despite several meetings and major pro-Ukraine actions, including a $50 million arms package. With Crimea still a major sticking point, the U.S. withdrawal dims hopes for a near-term resolution.

Description: Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Russian-occupied Crimea on the night of May 1-2. Footage released by a Crimean handle called ‘CrimeanWinds’ showed that a Russian airfield in the area was destroyed even as Russian authorities claimed that they had shot down several Ukrainian drones and UAVs. This latest strikes comes just a day after U.S. approved a $50mn arms sale to Ukraine and peace talks remain in limbo.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.

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.

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.

In a major twist, Russia has signaled readiness to resume direct peace talks with Ukraine, with Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky stating Moscow is open to "discussion and possible compromises." Speaking from Istanbul ahead of the highly anticipated negotiations, Medinsky is leading a senior delegation including top defense and intelligence officials. This comes after President Putin’s recent proposal to restart dialogue—sparking speculation of a strategic U-turn in Moscow’s stance.

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.

Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks in over three years on Friday in Turkey, marking a rare diplomatic engagement since the war began. Though the meeting lasted under two hours and yielded no major breakthroughs, both sides agreed to a significant 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Ukraine is pushing for direct talks between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Each side will now submit a ceasefire proposal. While Ukrainian officials dismissed Russia’s demands as “non-starters,” both nations signaled a cautious willingness to keep talks alive.

Ukrainian sources described Russia’s demands—reportedly including a withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from their own territory-as “unrealistic” and “detached from reality.”
