Russian delegation departs to Istanbul for Ukraine talks, Russian news agencies say
Russian news agencies reported on Sunday 1 June that the Russian delegation has left for Istanbul to attend negotiations concerning Ukraine. Source: Kremlin-aligned Russian news agencies RIA Novosti, TASS and Interfax, citing sources Details: A source familiar with the preparation of the negotiations told Interfax that "the Russian delegation flew to Istanbul on Sunday afternoon to attend talks on Ukraine". The source added that the Russian delegation will be ready to begin negotiations on the morning of 2 June. RIA Novosti and TASS have reported the same information. Updated: Sources in the Turkish Foreign Ministry told TASS that the talks between Russia and Ukraine are scheduled for 13:00 on 2 June at the Çırağan Palace in Istanbul. Background: Earlier today, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the Ukrainian delegation, led by Defence Minister Rustem Umierov, will travel to Istanbul for negotiations with Russia. Before that, Zelenskyy said that as of the evening of Saturday 31 May, neither Ukraine nor its partners had clear information about what the Russians intended to propose at the talks in Istanbul. On 28 May, it emerged that Umierov had handed Russia a document outlining Ukraine's position and was awaiting their "memorandum" in response. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on what conditions Russia will put forward in its draft memorandum for a ceasefire, saying that this should be discussed privately. On 30 May, Peskov said that the Russian delegation will be in Istanbul on Monday morning for peace talks with Ukraine and will show its memorandum there. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said Russia's reluctance to officially submit its memorandum for negotiations suggests the document contains unrealistic demands and represents an attempt to stall the peace process. It was previously reported that the Russian delegation set to attend the new round of peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on 2 June would be the same group that participated in the previous meeting, which Zelenskyy criticised for its low level.

Ukraine to present peace roadmap at Istanbul talks
The Ukrainian delegation intends to propose a clear roadmap for achieving a sustainable peace settlement during the negotiations with Russia in Istanbul. Source: Reuters, citing a document, as reported by European Pravda Details: Ukraine's plan envisages the following: a complete ceasefire for at least 30 days, followed by a prisoner exchange under the "all for all" formula and the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia; after that, a meeting is expected between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. The plan also envisions Moscow and Kyiv working together with the US and Europe to agree on terms for fully ending the war. The document, seen by Reuters, broadly reiterates Ukraine's previously stated positions, including: no restrictions on the Ukrainian Armed Forces after a peace agreement is reached; refusal to internationally recognise any territory occupied by Russia; payment of reparations to Ukraine. The Ukrainian document additionally notes that the current front line should serve as the starting point for territorial discussions. Background: It was previously reported that Ukraine would attend negotiations with Russia in Istanbul on 2 June, with Defence Minister Rustem Umierov leading the Ukrainian delegation.

Ukraine's Pavutyna operation: 18 months in planning, 41 Russian bombers hit
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) conducted a special operation codenamed Pavutyna (Web) on 1 June 2025, striking 41 Russian strategic aircraft, following over 18 months of preparation. Source: Ukrainska Pravda source in the SSU Details: The operation, overseen by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and executed by SSU chief Vasyl Maliuk, was logistically complex, the source emphasised. Quote: "The SSU first transported first-person view drones to Russia, then mobile wooden crates. On Russian territory, drones were concealed under the roofs of these crates, mounted on lorries. At the designated time, the roofs were remotely opened and the drones took off to strike Russian bombers." Ukrainska Pravda has obtained a photograph from the operation's preparation phase. Quote: "The operatives involved in this historic operation are safely back in Ukraine. Any detentions by Putin's regime would be staged for domestic propaganda." Background: On the afternoon of 1 June 2025, Ukraine's Security Service launched drone attacks on Russian military airfields, targeting strategic bombers and reportedly damaging up to 41 aircraft. Russian media later claimed that Ukrainian drones had been deployed from lorries parked at petrol stations. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
