Putin visits Kursk for first time since Russia ousted Ukrainian forces

Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the Kursk region for the first time since Russia said it expelled Ukrainian forces from the area in April. The Kremlin said Wednesday that Putin visited Kursk on the border with Ukraine the day before. Ukrainian forces made a surprise incursion into Kursk in August 2024 in the largest cross-border raid by Kyiv's forces in the nearly 2 and a half year war, before being pushed out by Russian troops nine months later. Ukraine has not confirmed its expulsion from the area. Putin visited Kursk Nuclear Power Plant-2, which is still under construction, and spoke at a closed meeting with selected volunteers. He also told acting Gov. Alexander Khinshtein that the Kremlin supported the idea of continuing monthly payments to displaced families that still could not return to their homes. Disgruntled residents had previously shown their disapproval over a lack of compensation in rare organised protests. Russia's Ministry of Defence said its air defe

2-hr call between Trump & Putin: Ceasefire with Ukraine soon? | Russia-Ukraine war | Zelensky

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call lasting over 2 hours. Both leaders reportedly discussed ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ongoing for 27 months.

Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks to begin immediately: Trump after Putin call

President Donald Trump said Monday that Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin ceasefire negotiations after what he described as an excellent call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that lasted more than two hours. Trump also spoke with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders in hopes of making progress toward a ceasefire. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of, Trump said in a social media post. Trump said the call was excellent, adding, "If it wasn't, I would say so now, rather than later. The conversations came after the White House said the US leader has grown frustrated with both leaders over the continuing war in Ukraine. After the call, Putin said Russia was ready to continue discussing an end to the fighting, but he indicated there was no major breakthrough in what he termed a very informative and very frank conversation with

Trump hopes for Russia-Ukraine ceasefire progress in calls with leaders

President Donald Trump is hoping separate phone calls Monday with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will make progress toward a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine. Trump expressed his hopes for a productive day Monday and a ceasefire in a social media post over the weekend. His effort will also include calls to NATO leaders. Trump has struggled to end a war that began with Russia's invasion in February 2022, and that makes these conversations a serious test of his reputation as a dealmaker after having claimed he would quickly settle the conflict once he was back in the White House, if not even before he took office. The Republican president is banking on the idea that his force of personality and personal history with Putin will be enough to break any impasse over a pause in the fighting. His sensibilities are that he's got to get on the phone with President Putin, and that is going to clear up some of the logjam and get us to the place that

Ukraine-Russia political drama masks on ground realities as war continues

Since US-brokered talks began in March, Ukraine's strategy has been to convince the Trump administration that Vladimir Putin is unreliable and that Kyiv is serious about peace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has few options, analysts and officials say, but to draw US President Donald Trump's ire against Putin, while depending on Europe's united and stalwart support. In the latest round, Zelenskyy not only accepted Putin's offer to hold direct talks in Turkiye, after the US endorsed the idea, but raised the stakes and challenged the Russian leader to a face-to-face. The gesture failed to move Putin and the Istanbul talks were demoted to a technical meeting Friday that failed to yield substantial results on ending the war. The US has expressed frustration with the stalled talks and threatened to withdraw if results aren't achieved. On Friday, Trump told reporters after boarding Air Force One to return to Washington from Abu Dhabi that he may call Putin soon. He and I will me
