Major developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

According to CCTV News, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a statement in the early morning of the 11th local time, proposing that both Russia and Ukraine unconditionally resume direct negotiations in Istanbul, Turkey on the 15th. In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on the evening of the 11th that Ukraine expects a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire between the two sides starting from the 12th, and he will "wait" for Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to the talks in Turkey.

Zelensky said on social media that Ukraine expects a comprehensive, lasting and reliable ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine starting from the 12th. Zelensky emphasized that this will create the necessary foundation for diplomatic efforts. He said that the Ukrainian army will be ready to respond accordingly to the ceasefire, and he looks forward to a clear reply from Russia on this.

Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready to accept negotiations in any form, and he will go to Turkey on the 15th and looks forward to meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Previously, the Ukrainian side said it was ready to implement a comprehensive and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days starting from the 12th.

As of now, the Russian side has not responded to the statement of the Ukrainian side. Previously, the two sides of Russia and Ukraine have always had differences on the issue of "ceasefire first or negotiate first". Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented on the 11th that Russian President Vladimir Putin advocates that negotiations should be held on the root causes of the conflict first, and then the issue of a ceasefire should be discussed. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that only through serious negotiations can lasting peace be achieved. Peskov also accused the Ukrainian side's claim of a ceasefire before negotiations on the 11th as "an evasion of negotiations".

Russia says it will continue military operations

Ukraine says it repelled Russian attacks

It is worth noting that, according to CCTV News, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the 11th local time that after the end of the ceasefire period during the Victory Day of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, the Russian armed forces continued to carry out special military operations.

The Russian military struck the aircraft maintenance workshops, unmanned naval vessels and ammunition storage facilities of the Ukrainian side. Thousands of Ukrainian personnel were killed or injured on different fronts. The Russian air defense system shot down a number of guided aerial bombs and 143 drones.

On the same day, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released a battle report saying that 161 battles took place in the front-line areas in the past day.

The Ukrainian army repelled Russian attacks in multiple directions; among them, the Ukrainian army repelled 25 Russian attacks in the Kursk region. In addition, the Ukrainian air force, missile forces and artillery attacked several concentrations of Russian personnel, weapons and military equipment, artillery pieces, radar stations and other targets.

Trump: Can't sleep at night

It is worth noting that, according to China Fund News, according to people present, recently, when speaking to a group of top donors at a club in Florida, Trump said that ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict has become an increasingly serious worry that keeps him up at night.

An attendee said that Trump said that Putin is particularly tough in the negotiations and "wants the whole of Ukraine". These words were said when he was answering a donor's question about his greatest foreign policy concerns.

Trump also told the audience present that the war in Gaza is also very thorny. He said that it is difficult to find any solution because "they have been fighting for a thousand years".

During his campaign to return to the White House, Trump vowed to end these two wars through diplomatic means and claimed that if he were in office at that time, these two conflicts would not have occurred at all. He even said that he would end the war in Ukraine on the "first day".

However, now that more than 100 days have passed since what would have been his second term, the conflict is still far from being resolved, the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program have reached an impasse, and the trade war with allies has also intensified tensions. Trump has found that solving the world's problems is much more difficult than he imagined.

Trump later said that his statement about ending the Russia-Ukraine war within a day was just a joke, and his supporters knew that it was just an exaggeration.

Analysts said, "If he hadn't repeatedly made these promises throughout the campaign, it would be barely possible to criticize him for not fulfilling them. But the problem is that he did make those promises."
