Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday (local time) expressed his gratitude towards UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer following the UK's new sanctions on Russia, as Zelenskyy believes it would help pressure Moscow toward peace.
Speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio said that such a delay from Russia would show Moscow's real intent to negotiate on the matter.
Zelenskyy highlighted Ukraine's willingness to pursue a full ceasefire without preconditions, a proposal initially put forward by US President Donald Trump, while emphasising the need for Russia to demonstrate genuine commitment through concrete actions.
This came following Trump's call with the Russian President, where the US President stated that Russia and Ukraine would "immediately" begin ceasefire negotiations.
The Russian President expressed optimism about the resumption of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, describing them as a step in the right direction toward eliminating the root causes of the conflict.
Russia and Ukraine will "immediately" begin negotiations toward a ceasefire and a potential end to the ongoing war, US President Donald Trump stated on Monday (local time), following his two-hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ANI, Lt Gen Ivan D'Cunha said that Pakistan's attempt to use drones against India was anticipated by the Indian defence forces, which conducted simulation exercises to prepare for potential drone attacks.
The talks, held on May 16, marked the first face-to-face meeting between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in three years, opening the door to potential resolutions on sensitive issues despite the ongoing conflict.
