Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,177
Here is where things stand on Friday, May 16 : Fighting continues along the 1,100km (683 mile) front line, where Russia's Ministry of Defence said its forces captured two settlements located near Moscow's long-term targets. Russia claimed to have taken Novooleksandrivka, a rural village near Pokrovsk, a logistics hub in Ukraine's Donetsk region, as well as the town of Torske, which is located near the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. The Ukrainian military acknowledged that Novooleksandrivka had been under attack, but it did not mention Torske in its latest report. Oleksandr Syrskii, Ukraine's top military commander, said on Telegram that Russia 'has turned its aggression against Ukraine into a war of attrition and is using a combined force of up to 640,000 troops'. Ukraine lost its first F-16 fighter jet on Friday due to an 'unusual situation on board', but the pilot successfully ejected, according to the Ukrainian Air Russian and Ukrainian envoys will hold trilateral talks in Istanbul, although hopes are low for any breakthrough after Russia sent a lower-level delegation to the meeting than hoped. The meeting marks the first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine since a meeting in 2022 also held in Istanbul. Turkiye will take part in two trilateral meetings on Friday as part of the renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Ministry sources told the Reuters news agency. A meeting will take place between Turkish, US and Ukrainian officials and is scheduled to take place at 10:45am local time [07:45 GMT], followed by talks between Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian delegations at 12:30pm [09:30 GMT], the sources told Reuters. The Ukrainian delegation will now be led by Defence Minister Rustem Umerov instead of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Thursday. 'We can't be running around the world looking for Putin,' Zelenskyy said after a meeting with Erdogan. 'I feel disrespect from Russia. No meeting time, no agenda, no high-level delegation – this is personal disrespect. To Erdogan, to Trump.' US President Donald Trump said an agreement between Russia and Ukraine is not possible without him first meeting Putin. 'I don't believe anything's going to happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together,' Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
