Ukraine attack on Russia overshadows peace talks
ISTANBUL: Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul ended barely an hour after they began on Monday, a day after a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's nuclear-capable strategic bombers. The talks — the second such direct contacts between the sides since 2022 — had already begun nearly two hours later than scheduled with no explanation of the delay. Although the atmosphere was subdued and dialogue brief, the talks did yield an agreement to conduct a new prisoner exchange and Ukraine said another round of talks was on the agenda. In Russia, before the talks began, angry war bloggers had called on Moscow to deliver a fearsome retaliatory blow against Kyiv after Ukraine on Sunday launched one of its most ambitious attacks of the war, targeting Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers in Siberia and elsewhere. Ukraine and Russia have issued starkly different assessments of the damage done to Russia's fleet of strategic bombers — a key element in its nuclear arsenal - but it was clear from publicly available satellite imagery that Moscow had suffered some serious equipment losses. "The eyes of the whole world are focused on the contacts here," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had told the Russian and Ukrainian delegations at the start of talks as they faced off against each other on opposite sides of the room in the sumptuous Ciragan Palace by the Bosphorus. He said the aim of the meeting was to evaluate the conditions for a ceasefire, to discuss a possible meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents, and to look at more prisoner exchange opportunities. Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov, who headed Kyiv's delegation, announced after the talks that a new prisoner exchange had been agreed to follow up on the biggest prisoner swap of the war brokered at the last round of talks. He said the new exchange would focus on those severely injured in the war and on young people. Umerov also said that Moscow had handed its own draft peace accord to Ukraine and that Kyiv - which has drawn up its own version — would review the Russian document. Ukraine has proposed holding more talks before the end of June, but believes that only a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin can resolve the many issues of contention, Umerov said. Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said Kyiv's delegation had handed over a list of children it said had been deported to Russia and which it wanted back. Moscow says such children were moved in order to protect them from fighting. The two sides had been expected on Monday to discuss their respective and wildly different ideas for what a full ceasefire and a longer term path to peace should look like amid pressure from US President Donald Trump, who has said the US could abandon its role as a mediator if there is no progress. But Umerov said Kyiv had been unable to react to Russia's proposals for peace because it had only seen them on Monday. While both countries, for different reasons, are keen to keep Trump engaged in the peace process, expectations of a breakthrough on Monday had been low. Ukraine regards Russia's approach to date as an attempt to force it to capitulate — something Kyiv says it will never do — while Moscow, which advanced on the battlefield in May at its fastest rate in six months, says Kyiv should submit to peace on Russian terms or face losing more territory. Putin set out his opening terms for an immediate end to the war last June: Ukraine must drop its Nato ambitions and withdraw all of its troops from the entirety of the territory of four Ukrainian regions claimed and mostly controlled by Russia. According to a proposed roadmap drawn up by Ukraine, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, Kyiv wants no restrictions on its military strength after any peace deal, no international recognition of Russian sovereignty over parts of Ukraine taken by Moscow's forces, and wants reparations. — Reuters

UK to build attack subs as part of defence review
LONDON: Britain announced it will build 12 new attack submarines as it was set to unveil a major defence review to deal with "growing" Russian aggression and the changing nature of warfare. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that "there is greater instability on defence and security than there has been for many, many years, and greater threats." His Labour government will publish its Strategic Defence Review, a document that will assess threats facing the UK and make recommendations. The review warns that Britain is entering "a new era of threat" as drones and artificial intelligence transform modern warfare. "I wanted a review that told me the challenges we're actually facing and likely to face for the foreseeable future," Starmer told the BBC on Monday. "And the principles are clear: war-fighting readiness, integrating our forces... and a Nato first approach," he added. The UK has been racing to rearm in the face of the threat from Russia and fears that US President Donald Trump will no longer help protect Europe. Starmer said it would serve as "a blueprint for strength and security for decades to come". — AFP

Germany's Annalena Baerbock set for top UN job
Berlin, Germany – Annalena Baerbock knows how to land on her feet. Just a few weeks after it became clear that her Green Party was unlikely to be part of the next German government, the country's first-ever female foreign minister was already lining up a new job. The UN General Assembly is set to elect her on Monday. She is running unopposed for the one-year top position, which is primarily of ceremonial significance and mainly involves organising plenary sessions. The inauguration is due to take place on September 9, shortly before the general debate of the UN General Assembly – and while the job is limited to a year, it is considered a good stepping stone for subsequent roles. Appointment ruffled feathers When Germany's former centre-left government nominated Baerbock as the new president of the United Nations General Assembly, a post that Germany was next in line to occupy, government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit said Baerbock was highly respected and 'highly qualified for the job'. The appointment did not come without some internal grievance: Germany had said last year that it would nominate the much-respected diplomat Helga Schmid for the post. A former Green Party member, Schmid is a Foreign Ministry veteran and was considered a vital architect of the nuclear agreement between Iran, the EU and other states, concluded in 2015. Baerbock responded to the criticism saying her appointment was be 'analogous to many predecessors who were also former foreign ministers or former prime ministers'. Baerbock, still only 44, was foreign minister until the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) , Christian Social Union (CSU) and the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) negotiated their way to Germany's new government. At least rhetorically, Baerbock always remained committed to the 'value-based foreign policy' she said she wanted to enact even before she took office. As the Green Party's chancellor candidate in 2021, she made what many saw as assertive statements about human rights and democratic freedoms in China, Belarus, Hungary, and Russia. Baerbock in office But her outspokenness often did not go down well later, when she took office. Her ministry was forced to clarify a remark she made during a meeting of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in January 2023, when, during a call for unity among western allies, she said, in English: 'We are fighting a war against Russia, not against each other.' This was immediately pounced on by the Russian government, when spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed that this was proof that the West was waging a 'premeditated war against Russia'. Then in April 2023, during a press conference with her Chinese counterpart Qin Gang in Beijing, she offered a note of warning about China's international ambitions, only to be told by Qin that the 'last thing that China needs is a teacher from the West'. Nor did it help Chinese-German relations when, in an interview with US broadcaster Fox News in September 2023, she described Xi Jinping as a 'dictator', which led the Chinese government to summon Germany's ambassador to Beijing. Overall, Baerbock's three years as foreign minister were marked by momentous international crises, which necessitated a tireless work rate: She made a total of 160 trips in her time in office, visiting some 77 countries – face-to-face diplomacy had never been more necessary, she once told public broadcaster ARD . During her time in office, she showed herself a strong supporter of sending military supplies to Ukraine, a country she visited nine times – including visits to Ukrainian troops on the front. Following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas, Baerbock attempted to walk a line between expressing Germany's continued support for Israel, while also trying to negotiate humanitarian aid for Gaza. She also attempted to enact a more 'feminist' foreign policy, something she expressed by increasing the proportion of female officials in her own ministry, as well as in German embassies around the world, a third of which are now headed by women. Baerbock's rise Baerbock's political career was marked in her youth by her parents, who took her on anti-nuclear demos in the 1980s. On her personal website, she describes being 'touched by worldwide injustice' since her teenage years, which she said sparked early ambitions to be a journalist. She studied political science and public law in Hamburg, earned a master's degree in international law at the London School of Economics, and then began a doctorate at Berlin's Free University, which she broke off in 2013 on being elected to the Bundestag. Her academic career ran in parallel to a steep political ascent. Having joined the Green Party at the age of 25, she became leader of the party in the state of Brandenburg only four years later, while simultaneously acting as spokesperson of the party's working group on European affairs and serving as a board member of the European Green Party. She continued this focus on European affairs in her first term in the Bundestag, when she claims to have 'worked hard on making the German government finally acknowledge its international responsibility as one of the largest economies in the world and to lead the German 'energy transition''. Her rise continued into April 2021, when she won an internal power struggle against her Green Party co-leader Robert Habeck, and became the party's first-ever official chancellor candidate in a national election campaign. Her candidacy was undermined however, when it emerged that her ghost writer had plagiarised parts of her hastily-released book. Though her party's election result that year was a disappointment, it set her on her course into foreign diplomacy. DW
