Erdoğan Reiterates Offer To Serve as Mediator in Ukraine Talks in Phone Call with Putin
Putin told the Turkish president that the U.S. proposal could “in principle serve as a basis for a final peace settlement.”

Putin told the Turkish president that the U.S. proposal could “in principle serve as a basis for a final peace settlement.”

Merz said he doubted any agreement could be reached by the November 27 deadline set by Trump, while the Turkish president announced he would be talking to Putin on Monday.

Putin ordered ministries to draw up proposals for nuclear test readiness after Trump urged the Pentagon to resume testing “on an equal basis” with Russia and China.

Russia’s Poseidon underwater drone, equipped with nuclear propulsion, is designed to travel at over 70 knots and operate at depths exceeding one kilometre.

When the war ends, Moscow will come looking for its money, and European taxpayers will be legally bound to return it. And that’s just part of the problem.

Any mention of a ceasefire was dismissed as naïve or labeled “Kremlin propaganda.”

The White House confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russia’s Sergei Lavrov also cancelled a planned meeting, while Hungarian FM Szijjártó said the summit is not off the table.

Privately, diplomats acknowledge that while they don’t like it, they have no choice but to accept Trump’s plans.

Moscow has cast doubt on the timing of the Budapest Summit, saying the meeting still requires “serious preparation.”

Warsaw says that the Russian president could face arrest if he crosses Polish airspace to attend a meeting with President Trump in Hungary.
