๐ฌ "They want this to be a permanent feature of international life, they want a new cold war with whatever dividing line ends up in Ukraine as long as it's not a complete defeat,โ he warned.

๐จKremlin cools down expectations for Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul
Expecting any immediate breakthroughs in the Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul would be wrong, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Important deals were made, and they will be implemented.
His other statements:
๐ธ The issue of compromises from Russia is a matter for negotiations with Ukraine and cannot be made public.
๐ธ The decision to publish the Russian draft memorandum on Ukraine was made by Russian Delegation Head Vladimir Medinsky after the document was discussed with the Ukrainian side.
๐ธ Zelenskyโs statement after the Istanbul talks was awkward and unsuccessful, not matching the spirit of the negotiations.
๐ธ Moscow has dialogue channels with Washington and continues to use them for communication.
๐ธ A new contact between Putin and Trump could be arranged quickly if needed, but no such agreements currently exist.
๐ธ A meeting between Putin, Trump, and Zelensky is unlikely in the near future.
๐ธ Regarding Nawrockiโs victory in the presidential elections: this is an internal matter for Poland.

๐น๐ทTurkiye, which traditionally has a good relationship with Russia, could intervene to play a key mediating role in resolving the Ukraine conflict, US Ambassador to Ankara Tom Barrack told NTV.
Particularly now, when US President Donald Trump is โat the end of his rope" regarding the situation, Turkiye could step in to โget the operating issues out of the way,โ he said.

Other captured soldiers say their commanders deceived them, promising rotations after missions and assurances that they wouldnโt be sent to the front line โ only to send them straight into combat without relief.

Russia dominates the battlefield, and one-off drone attacks by Ukraine are powerless to change that, Major General (retired) Shashi Bhushan Asthana, director of the United Services Institution (USI) of India, told Sputnik.
This reality is reflected in Russiaโs peace memorandum, he underscored.
Here's how experts highlight the key takeaways from the talks:
Strikes on Russian airfields just before the Istanbul talks revealed Ukraineโs rejection of peace, noted Kimura Mitsuhide, head of Japanโs Issuikai party.
As for Volodymyr Zelenskyโs fixation on a 30-day ceasefire โ itโs a stalling tactic, he argued.
He added that Russiaโs push for Ukrainian elections aims to legitimize any future deal.
Ukraineโs insistence on a 30-day truce will only drag out the fighting, deepening its human losses and plunging its economy further into crisis, Japanese economist Yukio Asazuma remarked.
Ukraine realistically has no option but to accept Russiaโs rightful demand for the full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from its new territories: the Donetsk and Lugansk Peopleโs Republics, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions, Asthana noted.
๐ฌ โOtherwise, itโs only a matter of time before Russia pushes them out,โ he added.
Crimea must be recognized internationally as part of Russia, Kimura stressed, observing that the territorial demands are about โprotecting civilians, stability, and the rights of Russian-speaking people.โ
The agreed big prisoner swap is a win, but Zelenskyโs rejection of Russiaโs ceasefire to return bodies exposes Ukraineโs real priorities, Kimura said, adding:
๐ฌ โBoth Zelensky and his Western backers are bent on fueling this conflict.โ

๐ฅดNATO PUSHES FOR FIVE-FOLD BOOST IN EUROPEAN AIR DEFENSE
NATO is urging its European member states to increase their ground-based air defense forces fivefold, Bloomberg quotes insider sources as saying.
The move aims to fill a gap in response to the alleged threat of โRussian aggressionโ, with defense ministers set to discuss the issue at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday.
An unnamed NATO official explained that over the past 30 years, the alliance significantly reduced the number of systems in Europe as its focus shifted to the Middle East and North Africa.

Several European countriesโincluding Germany, the UK, and Franceโare reconsidering their unwavering support for Israel amid the devastating 20-month conflict in Gaza, Bloomberg reports.
๐ฌ โItโs simply become impossible for most European governments to continue supporting Israelโs war despite strong ongoing commitments to Israelโs security,โ said Julien Barnes-Dacey, program director for the Middle East and North Africa at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
Discussions around trade sanctions and arms export restrictions are gaining momentum:
๐ฉ๐ช Germanyโs frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu's government has intensified since Israel launched its military operation against Hamas in mid-May, according to diplomatic sources. Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling for immediate aid access and signaling possible limits on military exports to Israel.
๐ฌ๐ง The UK announced plans to pause free trade talks with Israel and introduce sanctions against individuals and entities engaged in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
๐ซ๐ท France is pushing for Palestinian statehood and plans to co-chair a UN conference. According to an Odoxa poll, 61% of French people would back political and economic sanctions on Israel.
๐ Meanwhile, Israel maintains its offensive, citing the need to defeat Hamas and secure hostages, but the scale of the destruction and civilian suffering in Gaza has amplified calls for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid.
