Putin ignores Trump's warnings/Russia attacks Ukraine again with drones

Russia has carried out a major drone attack on Kharkiv, Ukraine, as Donald Trump's special envoy, Keith Kellogg, said the US president was becoming increasingly "angry" with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, over delays in reaching a ceasefire that would help end Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.

Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the Kharkiv region bordering Russia, said in a Telegram post that at least eight people were injured, including two children, in the attack that occurred on the morning of May 30. The region's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said the attack targeted "a municipal enterprise," without giving further details.

In recent weeks, Russia has carried out sustained attacks as efforts to reach a ceasefire have intensified in order to pave the way for a comprehensive peace plan to end the Russian occupation of Ukraine, which began in 2022.

In April, Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, but Russia has rejected the plan and many of Ukraine's allies have accused Putin of trying to drag out the process in order to take advantage of the current situation on the battlefield, where Russia has made advances in territories it claims to control.

Most of the destruction is around civilian buildings, which Russia claims it is not targeting, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

"His [Trump's] anger is that he's put forward some reasonable proposals and had reasonable discussions and he sees a level of unreasonableness [from Putin] that really angers him. It angers me too," Kellogg said in an interview with ABC News.

Trump, who has made reaching a peace agreement a foreign policy priority, warned on May 28 that he would decide "within two weeks" whether Putin is serious about stopping the fighting.

Moscow said on May 30 that it would send a team of negotiators to Istanbul on June 2 for a possible second round of direct talks with Ukraine, although Kiev has not yet confirmed whether it will participate.

Kellogg said during the interview with ABC that officials from the US, Germany, France and Britain will be in Istanbul on June 2, when a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations could be held.

Russia has said it will use the meeting to present a “memorandum” that would include conditions for a peace deal. A senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kiev was ready to attend the meeting but wanted to first see Russia’s proposals for ending the war.

The Russian delegation could be led by Vladimir Medinsky, a Russian political scientist and former Minister of Culture, who led Russia's negotiating team in the first round of direct talks on May 16./REL
