Russia and Ukraine to talk about peace but are still far apart
ISTANBUL, June 2 (Reuters) - Russian and Ukrainian officials are due to sit down on Monday in the Turkish city of Istanbul for their second round of direct peace talks since 2022, but the two sides are still far apart on how to end the war and the fighting is stepping up. U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded Russia and Ukraine make peace, but so far they have not and the White House has repeatedly warned the United States will "walk away" from the war if the two sides are too stubborn to reach a peace deal. The first round of talks on May 16 yielded the biggest prisoner swap of the war but no sign of peace - or even a ceasefire as both sides merely set out their own opening negotiating positions. After keeping the world guessing on whether Ukraine would even turn up for the second round, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Defence Minister Rustem Umerov would meet with Russian officials in Istanbul. The Russian delegation will be headed by Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky, who after the first round invoked French general and statesman Napoleon Bonaparte to assert that war and negotiations should always be conducted at the same time. On Sunday, Ukraine launched one of its most ambitious attacks of the war, targeting Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers in Siberia and other military bases, while the Kremlin launched 472 drones at Ukraine, Ukraine's air force said, the highest nightly total of the war. The idea of direct talks was first proposed by President Vladimir Putin after Ukraine and European powers demanded that he agree to a ceasefire which the Kremlin dismissed. Putin said Russia would draft a memorandum setting out the broad contours of a possible peace accord and only then discuss a ceasefire. Kyiv said over the weekend it was still waiting for draft memorandum from the Russian side. Medinsky, the lead Kremlin negotiator, said on Sunday that Moscow had received a Ukraine's draft memorandum and told Russia's RIA news agency the Kremlin would react to it on Monday. According to Trump envoy Keith Kellogg, the two sides will in Turkey present their respective documents outlining their ideas for peace terms, though it is clear that after three years of war Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart. Kellogg has indicated that the U.S. will be involved in the talks and that even representatives from Britain, France and Germany will be too, though it was not clear at what level the United States would be represented. Ukraine's delegation will also include its deputy foreign minister, as well as several military and intelligence officials, according to an executive order by Zelenskiy on Sunday. In June last year, Putin set out his opening terms for an immediate end to the war: 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. Ukrainian negotiators in Istanbul will present to the Russian side a proposed roadmap for reaching a lasting peace settlement, according to a copy of the document seen by Reuters. According to the document, there will be no restrictions on Ukraine's military strength after a peace deal is struck, no international recognition of Russian sovereignty over parts of Ukraine taken by Moscow's forces, and reparations for Ukraine. The document also stated that the current location of the front line will be the starting point for negotiations about territory. Russia currently controls a little under one fifth of Ukraine, or about 113,100 square km, about the same size as the U.S. state of Ohio. Putin ordered tens of thousands of troops to invade Ukraine in February 2022 after eight years of fighting in eastern Ukraine between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian troops. The United States says over 1.2 million people have been killed and injured in the war since 2022. Trump has called Putin "crazy" and berated Zelenskiy in public in the Oval Office, but the U.S. president has also said that he thinks peace is achievable and that if Putin delays then he could impose tough sanctions on Russia.

Magnus Carlsen slams table after shock loss to Gukesh Dommaraju in Norway
World champion Gukesh Dommaraju earned his first classical victory over Magnus Carlsen on Sunday at the Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger, toppling the longtime world No 1 in dramatic fashion and prompting the Norwegian to punch the table in frustration before storming out of the venue. The win in round six of the double round-robin event marked a milestone moment in Gukesh's young career, not for its stakes but for who it came against. Under pressure for much of the contest, the 19-year-old Indian grandmaster turned the tables in the final phase, capitalizing on a rare Carlsen blunder in time trouble to steal the point and shake up the standings in Stavanger. 'Right now, what means the most to me is that I didn't lose the game,' Gukesh said after the game. 'But yes, beating Magnus in any form is special.' Magnus Carlsen punches the table in frustration after losing to world champion Gukesh Dommaraju for the first time in a classical game at #NorwayChess today. Carlsen had outplayed Gukesh with ease in their first-round meeting and looked poised to do so again, pressing from a superior position through the middlegame. But with both players operating on a 10-second increment, Carlsen faltered ( Gukesh defended doggedly and pounced when the Norwegian miscalculated, flipping the position with a precise counterattack. The 34-year-old resigned shortly after then slammed his fist on the table, sending pieces rattling. It was an uncharacteristic display from the typically composed five-time world champion, who then left the hall immediately and skipped all media duties.

'But we have to give a lot of credit to Guki for his stubbornness and for his resourcefulness.' The result not only evened their head-to-head in this tournament but delivered a quiet rebuke to Carlsen's recent criticism of Gukesh's classical performances. After winning their earlier encounter, Carlsen had posted 'You come at the king, you best not miss' on social media, an old Baltimore proverb that seemed to reinforce his aura as the game's enduring alpha. On Sunday, it was the teenager whose aim was true. Gukesh, who became the youngest ever undisputed world champion in December and celebrated his 19th birthday last Thursday, has struggled for consistency since claiming the crown. He came into Sunday's round six with just one win in the tournament. The comeback against Carlsen could prove a needed confidence jolt heading into the closing rounds. The win lifts Gukesh to 8½ points, one behind Carlsen and the American Fabiano Caruana, with four rounds still to play. It also continues a trend of Indian breakthroughs in Stavanger: last year, R Praggnanandhaa became the first Indian to beat Carlsen in classical play at this event. Now Gukesh has followed and arguably gone one better.
