‘Only Trump can stop the war’: Ukraine FM pushes to speed up peace talks

Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha says Kyiv wants to speed up U.S. brokered peace talks with Russia, arguing that only U.S. President Donald Trump has the political weight to seal a final deal. In an interview in Kyiv, Sybiha said Ukraine and Russia must hold a face to face leaders’ summit to resolve the toughest remaining issues in a 20 point peace framework that has guided recent trilateral negotiations. He warned that campaigning for the U.S. mid term elections in November could soon distract Washington, so Ukraine is keen to “capitalise on momentum” in the talks. On core territorial questions, he said the sides remain far apart, with Russia demanding that Ukraine formally hand over the remaining 20% of Donetsk it has yet to occupy and Kyiv insisting on regaining control of all its land, including the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

Zelenskiy says US wants Ukraine war ended by summer

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the United States wants Russia and Ukraine to reach a deal to end the war before the start of this summer.​ He told reporters that after two days of US brokered talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi, Washington proposed holding another round of negotiations in Miami next week and Kyiv had agreed. Zelenskiy said US officials indicated they would likely pressure both sides to keep to a timetable shaped partly by US mid term election politics.​ He criticised overnight Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid and energy facilities, saying Moscow must be stopped from using winter cold as a weapon. According to him, Russia launched more than 400 drones and about 40 missiles in the latest barrage, leaving over 1,000 apartment buildings in Kyiv without heating as families sheltered in metro stations.​ Zelenskiy said Ukraine […]

Hamas Hands Over Second Batch of Hostages to Red Cross

Hamas has handed over a second group of 13 hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza. This transfer, confirmed on Monday, is believed to include the last remaining living hostages held by the group. This follows the earlier release of seven Israeli hostages, which included one soldier and six civilians. The exchanges are part of a major ceasefire deal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with the ICRC acting as the neutral intermediary. In return, Israel is set to release approximately 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners. A separate handover of the bodies of deceased hostages is also expected to take place.

Hamas Calls for Swift Prisoner Swap as Gaza Truce Talks Begin

As crucial ceasefire talks begin in Egypt, Hamas has called for a swift start to a hostage-prisoner exchange with Israel. The push follows the group's positive response to a US-backed peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump. A senior Hamas official stated the group is "very keen to reach an agreement to end the war and immediately begin the prisoner exchange process." The proposed deal would see 47 hostages held in Gaza released in return for 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and over 1,700 detainees arrested during the war. Ahead of the talks in Sharm El-Sheikh, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Israel to stop its bombing campaign, noting that "you can’t release hostages in the middle of strikes." The White House has sent envoys to Egypt to support the negotiations, which all parties hope can end the […]

Taliban Govt Says US Envoy Agrees to Prisoner Swap

The Taliban government on Saturday claimed that Washington’s special envoy Adam Boehler agreed to move forward with a US–Afghanistan prisoner exchange during a rare visit to Kabul. According to a statement from Deputy Prime Minister Abdul Ghani Baradar’s office, Boehler said “both countries will exchange prisoners” after talks with Taliban leaders. The US State Department has not immediately confirmed the announcement, and no timeline has been set for the swap. At least one American citizen, Mahmood Habibi, remains missing in Afghanistan. The US has offered a $5 million reward for information on his whereabouts, while Taliban officials deny involvement in his 2022 disappearance. Earlier this year, airline mechanic George Glezmann was freed after more than two years in detention, following a March visit to Kabul by Boehler. Boehler, joined on Saturday by former US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, also met with […]

El Salvador & U.S. Secure Prisoner Swap with Venezuela

On July 18, 2025, a diplomatic prisoner exchange concluded: over 230 Venezuelan detainees held in El Salvador were returned home in exchange for 10 U.S. citizens and permanent residents released from Venezuelan prisons. Roughly 80 Venezuelan political prisoners were also cleared for release. The arrangement followed months of confidential negotiations among the U.S., El Salvador, and Venezuela. Why This Matters High-stakes diplomacy: The swap involved individuals deported under the U.S. Alien Enemies Act, many accused of gang ties (e.g., Tren de Aragua) but lacking criminal records. Some transfers included even wrongfully deported Salvadorans. Human rights concerns: El Salvador’s CECOT prison drew criticism for overcrowding and harsh conditions. Critics—including relatives—argued the detainees were treated as negotiation tokens rather than due-process individuals.
