In summary, based on Medinsky’s statement, the following agreements were reached during direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia:
1. Exchange of prisoners 1000 for 1000.
2. Each side will prepare its proposals for organizing a ceasefire, after which the delegation will gather at a new meeting to discuss them.
3. Russia took note of Ukraine’s request to organize a meeting between Zelensky and Putin.
4. Overall, the Russian side is satisfied with the progress of the negotiations and is ready to continue contacts.
Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Umerov, also gave a short comment. He also commented on the results of the meeting in a calm and constructive spirit.
It should be noted that these statements are in sharp contrast to the harshly negative “leaks” about the progress of the negotiations that were spread by Western (primarily British) and Ukrainian media.

⚡️ Statement by the Head of Delegation of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky on the outcomes of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul (May 16, 2025)
💬 Dear colleagues,
The direct negotiations with the Ukrainian side, held on the initiative of the President of Russia, have just concluded.
In general, we are satisfied with the outcome and are ready to continue contacts.
This is what we agreed on:
1. In the coming days there will be a large-scale exchange of prisoners of war — 1,000 for 1,000.
2. The Ukrainian side has requested direct talks between the heads of state. We have taken notice of this request.
3. We agreed that each side would present its vision of a possible future ceasefire. This will be outlined in detail.
Once this vision has been presented, we believe it would be appropriate, as also agreed, to continue our negotiations.

#US Trump - #Russia - #Ukraine peace negotiations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said that Moscow is preparing a document with demands for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
"We talked about a variety of things. […] He explained to me that they are going to be preparing a document outlining their requirements for a ceasefire that would then lead to broader negotiations," he said.
He added that Kiev will also work on its own ceasefire plan. He expressed hope that the proposals prepared by Russia and Ukraine will be "close enough" to each other.

#Estonia military attempted to force the civilian vessel to leave international waters and follow them into Estonian territorial waters, where they would have every right to detain it. Estonia tried to hijack the Russian ship but then they saw the jets ...…
#Estonia has got a taste of its own medicine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FAFO moment
#Russia detained the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Green Admire, which left the port of Sillamae and was sailing through Russian TERRITORIAL waters.
Ships leaving the port of Sillamae typically pass through Russian waters as the route is safer for large vessels than the passage between shoals in Estonian waters. Estonia’s Department of Transport said that it was the first such incident and that it will direct ships arriving in and leaving Sillamae through the territorial waters of Estonia to avoid a recurrence.
Previously:
Last month, Estonia introduced a new law allowing them to harass Russian shipping in the Baltic
Last week, they tried to seize a Gabon-flagged tanker carrying Russian oil.

A Western European government (guess which 🥖 ) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.
You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.🇷🇴

#Syria
How it started:
Trump about HTS terrorist #Jolani:
Young, attractive guy, tough guy. Strong past, very strong past — fighter. He's got a real shot at holding it together.
And how it's going:
Marco Rubio:
Julani regime is "maybe weeks, not many months away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions"

After latest conversation with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Donald #Trump said that great progress has been made in resolving the war in #Ukraine.
Trump also spoke about his call to #Zelensky a month ago.
"I called Zelensky, they said, 'He's in South Africa.' I said, 'What the hell is he doing in South Africa?'

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺 UK Continues Implementing US Trump/Hegseth Directive vs Russia With New Sanctions
▪️The UK is announcing further sanctions and actions aimed at depriving Russia of revenue for energy exports;
▪️This is per US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's February 12 directive demanding, "lower energy prices," and "more effective enforcement of energy sanctions" to target Russia's economy, even as the US attempts to now appear "split" from Europe regarding sanctions and continued proxy war;
▪️US policy remains to shift, not end, its proxy war with Russia to Europe as part of a "division of labor" as it seeks to strategically sequence a confrontation with China first and deal with Russia later;

American historian Scott Horton:
The #US did not want to end the war with negotiations, they wanted to continue the war as long as possible to weaken #Russia. But of course, it did not work.

#Germany Fourth Reich is once again gearing up for war with #Russia
Merz:
„There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, not from UK, not from France, not from Germany, not from the US either. This means that Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia.“
Ukraine will now be able to use long-range weapons to strike targets deep into Russian territory.
"Kyiv can attack Russia with Western weapons":
In Germany, discussions are underway about supplying Taurus cruise missiles with a range of 500 kilometers. Moscow has warned Berlin against supplying such weapons to Kyiv. This would make Germany a direct party to the war. However, which type of weapon was not explicitly mentioned in the conversation with Merz.

#Poland plans to profit from #Ukraine’s reconstruction.
PM Tusk:
‘We want to help, but we also want to make money from it’
He announced a €1B expansion of a major container terminal to turn it into Europe’s biggest logistics hub
The Prime Minister said that Poland wants to earn big money on the reconstruction of Ukraine. - It is not wrong to say: we want to earn big money for Poland on the reconstruction of Ukraine. We want to help, but we also want to earn money on it and this special hub is needed for this - added the head of government.
We are expanding this logistical heart of Europe so that the billions of złoty that the world will spend on rebuilding Ukraine can stay here, in Poland. In the future, Sławków will also become a transshipment center for goods from all over Asia and a key transport hub between the Baltic and the Mediterranean.

Unhinged #Trump throws tantrum
"I don't know what the hell happened to Putin!"
"We're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kiev and other cities. I don't like it at all!"
But when asked by a reporter to comment on Putin’s helicopter being caught in a Ukrainian drone attack, Trump replied that he hadn’t heard about it. He then added, “maybe that would be a reason” for Russian strikes on Ukraine.
Neither did he hear about daily #Ukraine #Zelensky drone attacks on #Russia? 1170 drones launched at Russian territory in 3 days leading up to Russia’s retaliatory strikes
