Hakan Fidan hold talks Ukrainian officials at Munich Security Conference
ISTANBUL
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with top Ukrainian officials in Germany during this weekend's Munich Security Conference, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Sunday.
Fidan held talks with Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, according to the ministry.
Details of the discussions were not immediately disclosed.
Following separate phone calls last week between US President Donald Trump and his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts, speculation is running high over a possible push for a peace deal between the two neighboring countries.
Russia launched its war on Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, just short of three years ago.
Today is the concluding day of the three-day Munich conference, which is held annually.

Trump: Xi Jinping Told Me China Will Not Invade Taiwan While I'm in Office - Jordan News
U.S. President Donald Trump said that Chinese President Xi Jinping told him that China would not invade Taiwan during his time in office. Trump made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Friday, ahead of his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. اضافة اعلان During the network's Special Report program, Trump said: 'I'll tell you, there's a very similar situation with President Xi regarding China and Taiwan, but I don't think it will happen while I'm here. We'll see.' He added: 'He told me, 'I would never do it while you're president.' President Xi told me this, and I said, 'I appreciate that,' but he added, 'But I'm very patient, and China is very patient.'' The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump and Xi had their first confirmed call during Trump's second term in June, and Trump said in April that Xi had called him, though he did not specify the timing of that call. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has pledged to 'reunify' it with the mainland, using force if necessary, while Taiwan strongly rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims. Although Washington is Taiwan's main arms supplier and largest international supporter, the United States – like most countries – does not maintain official diplomatic relations with the island, according to The Guardian.

Macklemore backs Palestine solidarity protest in New York City
American rapper Macklemore is set to join a Palestine solidarity protest in New York City this Saturday, August 16, organizers announced. The demonstration will take place at 2 PM (GMT-4) on the steps of the New York Public Library in Bryant Park. The rapper shared the announcement in an Instagram story, amplifying the call for public participation. The protest is being organized by the ANSWER Coalition, which described the gathering as a response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The coalition's statement condemns what it calls the 'US-Israeli blockade of Gaza,' alleging it has triggered a severe hunger crisis responsible for the deaths of Palestinians through starvation and malnutrition. It further criticizes US President Donald Trump, accusing his administration of enabling Israel's 'starvation regime' and of supporting entities that 'weaponize hunger' rather than addressing it. The post also claims that Washington is collaborating with 'Israel' to condition aid on plans for the 'full occupation' of Gaza. Organizers urged people 'from all walks of life' to join the protest, framing it as a crucial step to oppose what they call genocide and the 'US-funded, Israeli famine.'

Zelenskyy to meet Trump on Monday in Washington to discuss ending war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Saturday that he will travel to Washington on Monday to meet with US President Donald Trump to discuss ways to 'end the killing and the war.' The announcement came after Zelenskyy held a detailed phone call with Trump, during which the US president briefed him on the 'main points' of his recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. 'On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war,' Zelenskyy said. 'I am grateful for the invitation.' Zelenskyy described the call with Trump as a 'long and substantive conversation' that initially took place one-on-one before being joined by several European leaders. The Washington meeting is scheduled just three days after the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska concluded without a ceasefire or clear breakthrough in the ongoing conflict, which has lasted more than three years. Following the US-Russia summit, Zelenskyy called for Kyiv's European allies to be involved 'at every stage' of negotiations. He also reiterated Ukraine's willingness to participate in a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin, a format Kyiv has supported but which the Kremlin has previously resisted. 'Ukraine emphasises that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this,' Zelenskyy added.
