🇷🇺 Medinsky in an interview with Yevgeny Popov on 60 Minutes:

➡️It was important to remind the Ukrainians how the war could have ended early—if they hadn’t stalled in Gomel and if the West hadn’t sabotaged the Istanbul talks.

➡️War and negotiations happen simultaneously. Anyone claiming otherwise doesn’t know history.

➡️The most relevant lesson for Ukraine is the Great Northern War. Sweden fought to the last man—only to sign a peace treaty 21 years later and permanently lose its status as a major European power.

🇷🇺🇬🇧 Russian Embassy Slams UK PM Over Istanbul Talks Comments

The Russian Embassy in London criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his remarks on the Russia–Ukraine negotiations held in Istanbul:

“We are genuinely puzzled by the Prime Minister’s hasty statement that Russia’s position in the Istanbul talks is unacceptable and that a response is being prepared. Unacceptable to whom? We’re not negotiating with London.”

🇺🇸🇪🇺 U.S. Signals Intent to Withdraw Troops from Europe After NATO Summit

The United States will begin formal consultations with NATO allies about pulling its forces out of Europe following the NATO summit in The Hague this June, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed at a security conference in Estonia, according to Reuters.

Responding to reports that the Trump administration is preparing a significant drawdown, Whitaker said “nothing has been determined,” but made clear that discussions would begin soon: “As soon as we do, we are going to have these conversations in the structure of NATO.”

He emphasized the need for an orderly transition to prevent security gaps, stating that “all our allies are ready.” Whitaker also highlighted that Washington’s desire to reduce its military presence in Europe stretches back more than 30 years. “President Trump just said, enough—this is going to happen and it’s going to happen now… we are not going to have any more patience for foot dragging.”

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The negotiations on the Ukraine conflict held in Istanbul signaled a tactical victory for Russia's leadership, according to The New York Times.
