Kremlin plays down Zelensky talks as Trump warns Putin may not want to make deal
MOSCOW — The Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, as Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.The push for a bilateral meeting comes after the US president met Putin in Alaska last week, and welcomed seven European leaders and Zelensky to the White House on Monday.Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities."We're going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks," he said on Tuesday. "It's possible that he doesn't want to make a deal."Putin faced a "rough situation" if...

US military vets are helping Afghans fight deportation
SAN DIEGO – As a journalist in Afghanistan, Abdul says he helped promote American values like democracy and freedom. That work, he said, resulted in him being tortured by the Taliban after the US withdrew from the country in 2021.Now he's in California applying for political asylum, amid the looming threat of deportation."We trusted those values," he said. "We came here for safety, and we don't have it, unfortunately."But when Abdul walked into a San Diego court to plead his case, he wasn't alone.Ten veterans showed up for his hearing – unarmed, but dressed in hats and shirts to signify their military credentials as a "show of force", said Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy vet who founded 'Battle Buddies' to support Afghan refugees facing...

Hungary threatens Kyiv with electricity cut after Ukrainian attacks shut down Russia oil imports
BUDAPEST — Hungary on Monday made a thinly-veiled threat to cut off electricity supplies to Ukraine as the diplomatic row over damage to the Druzhba pipeline escalates.The fresh war of words erupted last week after a key distribution station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region was damaged in a Ukrainian drone strike, temporarily halting oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia.Ukraine carried out a second strike on the pipeline on Monday, this time targeting the Nikolskoye oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region.Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has criticised the Ukrainian authorities for carrying out the strikes on the pipeline, describing them as "outrageous and unacceptable" and writing that "whoever attacks our energy security is,...

Israel demands release of all Gaza hostages, casting doubt on ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Israel is demanding the release of all 50 hostages held in Gaza, an Israeli official has said, casting doubt on whether it will accept a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that Hamas agreed to on Monday.The proposal, put forward by Qatar and Egypt, would see the release of around half the hostages and is "almost identical" to a US proposal Israel had previously accepted, according to Qatar.Israel has not explicitly rejected it - but Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told the BBC that it is not interested in "partial deals"."Things have changed now. The prime minister has laid out a plan for the future of Gaza," Mencer said.Palestinian sources said the proposal would see 10 living and 18 dead hostages handed over while the sides negotiated a...

Mediators await Israeli response to new Gaza ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Arab mediators are awaiting a formal response from Israel after Hamas said it had accepted a new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.The plan was presented by Qatar and Egypt, which are trying to avert a major new Israeli offensive to occupy Gaza fully.Qatar said it was "almost identical" to a US proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of 50 hostages held in Gaza - 20 of whom are believed to be alive - would be handed over and the two sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest.In recent days, Israel's government has said it would no longer accept a partial deal - only a comprehensive one that would see all the hostages freed.Local media quoted a senior Israeli official saying: "Israel's position...
