The location at an overview: Kyiv struggled with meetings and Moscow Condition for ceasefire

Russia has declared its willingness to be a possible ceasefire in the UN Security Council before the negotiations with representatives of Ukraine represented for Monday in Turkey. Russia’s UN ambassador Wassili Norsja also called conditions for an end to the fight. “For the duration of the ceasefire, it is at least necessary that the western countries stop the arms deliveries to the Kiev regime and the Ukraine ends their mobilization,” said Nagsja in his speech, which was also spread in Moscow in Moscow.

Moscow has set a second round of negotiations in Istanbul for June 2 in Istanbul to talk to Kiev representatives about a possible termination of the war in Ukraine. The direct talks had been resumed for the first time since 2022 at the Russian initiative.

According to the nurly, a ceasefire could also make it possible to work on a sustainable solution to the original causes of the conflict. So far, Russia had always emphasized that they wanted to solve the conflict in principle and then consider a ceasefire. Ukraine, on the other hand, has been calling for a 30-day ceasefire on the basis of a US proposal since March and then working on the solution to the conflict. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj demanded that the fire break had to be agreed without preconditions.

Numbery now clearly called these two preconditions. In his opinion, the previous statements of Ukraine indicated that they did not get involved. Russia, in turn, does not want a situation in which Ukraine uses the ceasefire to take a deep breath and collect in the war. Russia is ready to talk about the conditions for peace during the negotiations this Monday in Istanbul. The conversations are the “litmus test” for both sides to show whether they were serious about the end of the fights.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister accuses Russia of arrogance

In his speech, the Russian UN representative also explained that Moscow were also able to continue the fighting as long as necessary. Everyone can already convince himself that the Russian army practically progresses on the entire front line.

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Serhij Sybiha accused Russia on platform X in view of the reference to Moscow’s military strength. “This is Russia’s slap in the face of all those who stand up for peace,” he said of the Senn Jas speech. More pressure on Russia is necessary. “You don’t understand a normal attitude nor the diplomatic language; it is time to speak to you in the language of sanctions and the increased support for Ukraine,” said Sybiha.

Selenskyj talks to Erdogan about Ukraine negotiations

President Selenskyj continued to participate in Kiev in the new round of negotiations. During a conversation with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the conditions of a participation in Ukraine were involved in the negotiations, Selenskyj said on the platform X in the evening. He did not give details, but said that there must be real results in a Ukrainian participation.

The recent prisoner exchange was an important result of the negotiations in Istanbul, but “unfortunately the only one”. A ceasefire is necessary for a movement towards peace, said Selenskyj. The killing must stop.

Moscow also promised a memorandum for the meeting on Monday, which Ukraine had requested for the pre -assessment. Russia rejected this – and only wants to speak about the declaration of intent in Turkey.

Injured in attacks in Ukraine and Russia reported

On the night of Saturday, Sumy Rakets were struck in a residential area in a Russian attack on the border -related Ukrainian area and warehouses were destroyed, the regional military administration said. At least one person was injured. Explosions were also reported from the areas of Charkiw, Donetsk, Mykolajiw and Winnyzja.

Selenskyj meets US Senator Graham for more pressure on Moscow

In Kiev, Selenskyj, meanwhile, met the US senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal and confirmed his hope of sharper sanctions against Russia’s war machinery. Selenskyj announced on the X platform for the new US sanction initiative supported by 82 senators. It takes more pressure on Russia to force the country to peace. Selenskyj accused Moscow of making fun of diplomatic initiatives and using the negotiations as camouflage to prepare a new offensive.

Russia leads blows against Ukrainian cities and villages and rejected all the suggestions for a ceasefire, said Selenskyj. “That is why additional pressure is necessary,” he emphasized. The President thanked the Republican Graham and the Democrat Blumenthal that their two political camps support Ukraine. “It is the real commitment of the United States in every phase of negotiations that can guarantee a reliable peace,” said Selenskyj.

Graham: Ukraine can buy US weapons

Graham and Blumenthal also met with government head Denys Schmyhal during their visit to the Ukrainian capital to talk about an expansion of trade relationships. “I expect this business relationship to concentrate on the military sector that the US military-industrial complex of Ukraine will sell weapons that we have developed. Other countries could buy them from us and deliver to Ukraine,” said Graham, according to the Interfax-Ukraine agency at a press conference.

Graham and Blumenthal have prepared a package of new sanctions against Russia, which can count on a large, non-partisan majority in the US Senate. However, Graham does not want to find the mediation efforts of his party friend Donald Trump. In addition, it is currently still unclear whether the sanction package could also count on a majority in the House of Representatives.
