U.N. Chief, António Guterres, says the Ukraine war is “far away” after speaking on the phone with Russia’s Vladimir Putin

Guterres believes a peaceful end to the war is not likely anytime soon, following his conversation with Putin.

“A ceasefire is not in sight, I would be lying if I said it would happen.”
António Guterres – Secretary-General of the United Nations

German Chancellor Olaf Sholz also spoke with the Russian leader and believes his “attitude hasn’t changed.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that he has now come to realise that it was a mistake to start this war, and there is no indication that new attitudes are now emerging…
It is still right to talk to each other and to say what I have to say on these issues from my point of view, because I am strongly convinced that Russia must withdraw … so that peace has a chance in the region, and every day it becomes clearer that this is the only chance. We have to talk about that, and that is what I have done.”
Olaf scholz – German chancellor

Future of the war

Over recent days, Ukraine’s counter-offensive efforts have proven successful, and have instilled hope back to Ukrainians.

Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked his military, during a visit to newly liberated towns.

His speech was followed by a moment’s silence to remember those lost in the war.

Ukrainian forces are now turning their attention to the Luhansk region in the east, which is home to essential transport hubs.

In Russia, China’s leader, Xi Jinping has arrived in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Here, he will meet with Putin, in what will be the first face-to-face meeting since the Ukraine war began.

The question remains, will China lend support?

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
