Drone strike fired by Russia army led by
9:01
President Vladimir Putin has killed nine
9:04
persons which included a full family
9:06
involving the father mother and the
9:08
daughter after the military weapon of
9:10
mass destruction hit a passenger's bus
9:12
at the Philippines area in Sunni region
9:14
of Ukraine early Saturday morning
9:17
signaling the ceasefire peace talks held
9:19
during the week at Istanbul Turkey was
9:22
unsuccessful It was gathered that the
9:24
Russian soldiers launched the strike
9:26
using a Lancid UAV on a passenger bus
9:29
near Bilipilia in the Sunumi region with
9:31
a suspicion of hitting a military target
9:33
killing nine civilians and injuring
9:35
seven others President Vladimir Zalinski
9:38
said are currently receiving treatments
9:40
at the hospital According to Zalinski
9:43
there are currently seven wounded people
9:45
in hospitals following a Russian drone
9:47
strike on an ordinary passenger bus The
9:50
victims have suffered burns fractures
9:53
and blast injuries All of them are
9:55
receiving the necessary medical
9:57
assistance Tragically nine people were
10:00
killed All the details are being
10:02
verified According to preliminary
10:04
reports the Russians killed a family
10:07
father mother and daughter died in the
10:10
attack My condolences to all the
10:13
families and loved ones All the deceased
10:15
were civilians and the Russians could
10:18
not have failed to understand what kind
10:20
of vehicle they were targeting This was
10:22
a deliberate killing of civilians
10:25
Yesterday as on any other day of this
10:27
war there was an opportunity to cease
10:30
fire Ukraine has long been offering this
10:33
a full and unconditional ceasefire in
10:35
order to save lives Russia retains
10:38
nothing but the ability to continue
10:40
killing Pressure must be exerted on
10:42
Russia to stop the killings Without
10:44
tougher sanctions without stronger
10:47
pressure Russia will not seek real
10:49
diplomacy Yesterday in Istanbul everyone
10:53
saw a weak and unprepared Russian
10:54
delegation without a meaningful mandate
10:57
This must change Real steps are needed
11:00
to end the war We are expecting strong
11:03
sanctions against Russia from the United
11:05
States from Europe and from all our
11:08
partners Diplomacy must start working I
11:11
thank everyone around the world who is
11:13
truly helping not with words but with
11:16
strength Peace is essential It may be
11:19
interesting to know that the attack
11:21
occurred just hours after Russia and
11:23
Ukraine held their first direct peace
11:25
talks in more than 3 years in Istanbul
11:28
Turkey on Friday that has shown the
11:30
meeting failed to produce a temporary
11:32
ceasefire The strike is the latest in a
11:35
series of deadly escalations even as
11:37
diplomatic talks between the two sides
11:39
begin to resume Commander Ihort Tik
11:42
Kachenko head of Sunumi's military
11:45
administration confirmed medics and
11:48
rescuers have been urgently sent to the
11:50
scene Meanwhile a local media in Ukraine
11:53
had reported on Friday that Ukraine had
11:56
repatriated the bodies of 99 soldiers
11:59
who died fighting against Russia the
12:02
coordination headquarters for the
12:03
treatment of the prisoners of war

Independent News Media the bodies of
12:10
soldiers were recovered from Dest

Luhansk Zaporia Sumi and Khakivlasts as
12:17
well as from Morgs in Russia We have
12:20
reported that the Ukrainian president
12:22
Vladimir Zalinski on Friday has said
12:24
that the Russia war in Ukraine was
12:26
moving towards ending this week If only
12:29
that the Russian president Vladimir
12:31
Putin wasn't afraid of coming to Anchora
12:34
the Turkey capital on Thursday to have
12:36
face-to-face peace deals with him in
12:38
line with his own request for direct
12:40
peace talks which Zalinski said made him
12:43
to travel to Turkey in person But it was
12:46
a surprise The Kremlin leader President
12:49
Vladimir Putin instead sent a very
12:51
low-level government officials to the
12:53
Russia president proposed dialogue
12:55
meeting in Anchora Although Russia and
12:57
Ukraine have been wrestling for months
13:00
over the logistics of peace talks with
13:02
hopes of achieving such in the proposed
13:04
Anchora peace talks but days before
13:06
D-Day President Donald Trump of the
13:09
United States US had said that he sees
13:11
no movement of Putin coming to anchor
13:14
until he and Putin get together And
13:16
according to President Zalinski it was
13:18
President Trump who told him publicly to
13:20
immediately accept the Kremlin leader
13:23
proposal of direct talks
13:26
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalinski on
13:29
Friday has said that the Russia war in
13:31
Ukraine was moving towards ending this
13:33
week if only that the Russian President
13:36
Vladimir Putin wasn't afraid of coming

President Trump who told him publicly to

immediately accept the Kremlin leader
14:27
proposal of direct talks President
14:30
Donald Trump who since on Friday had
14:33
left the Middle East back home to meet
14:35
his new grandson after his daughter
14:37
Tiffany Trump announced she gave birth
14:39
to her first child on Thursday said he
14:42
will meet with Russian President
14:43
Vladimir Putin as soon as we can set it
14:46
up to discuss Ukraine Russia peace talks
14:50
According to Zalinski I addressed the
14:52
European political community summit this
14:55
week We had a real chance to move toward
14:57
ending the war If only Putin hadn't been
15:00
afraid to come to Turkey I was there
15:03
ready for a direct meeting with him to
15:05
resolve all key issues He didn't agree
15:08
to anything I spoke with President
15:11
Donald Trump together with President
15:13
Macarron Federal Chancellor Mertz Prime
15:16
Minister Stmer and Tusk We discussed the
15:19
meeting in Istanbul Ukraine is ready to
15:21
take the fastest possible steps to bring
15:24
real peace and it is important that the
15:26
world holds a strong stance Our position
15:29
if the Russians reject a full and
15:31
unconditional ceasefire and an end to
15:33
killings tough sanctions must follow
15:36
Pressure on Russia must be maintained
15:38
until Russia is ready to end the war
15:41
Thank you to everyone in the world who
15:43
is helping United Kingdom UK Prime
15:46
Minister Karmama said if Russia is
15:49
unwilling to come to the negotiating
15:51
table Putin must pay the price Speaking
15:55
to President Donald Trump we are closely
15:57
aligning our response to Russia's
15:59
unacceptable position While ending his
16:02
Middle East tour on Friday President
16:04
Trump said "I would actually leave here
16:07
and go meet Putin I do want to see my
16:10
beautiful grandson." It would be
16:12
recalled that Ukraine and Russia have
16:14
not held any direct talks since March
16:17
2022 shortly after Putin sent tanks over
16:20
the border beginning the first major
16:22
land war in Europe since World War II
16:26
But according to Reuters hopes of a
16:28
major breakthrough appear unlikely with
16:31
US President Donald Trump declaring
16:33
there wasn't likely to be any progress
16:35
in the peace talks until he meets with
16:37
his Russian counterpart Nothing's going
16:40
to happen until Putin and I meet
16:42
President Trump declared know nothing
16:45
about a delegation I haven't even
16:46
checked Look nothing's going to happen
16:49
until Putin and I get together Okay And
16:52
obviously he wasn't going to go He was
16:53
going to go but he thought I was going
16:54
to go He wasn't going if I wasn't there
16:57
And I don't believe anything's going to
16:59
happen whether you like it or not until
17:01
he and I get together But we're going to
17:02
have to get a solid because too many
17:04
people are dying Thank you You're going
17:05
to land right now Thank you
17:08
Now it's time to go back home My
17:10
daughter had a baby I'm going to go back
17:12
home and see that little baby and then
17:14
we get back to uh a lot of work We'll
17:17
see what happens with Russia and Ukraine
17:20
When do you think you'll meet president
17:22
As soon as we can I was going to I would
17:25
actually leave here and go I do want to
17:30
beautiful son It looks more like
17:34
Yeah thank you so much Think about what
17:36
we do next It's our next step Prime
17:38
Minister Rammer thank you And uh thank
17:41
you Albania for hosting us today not
17:44
just in a beautiful country but in a
17:47
country that believes in Europe and
17:49
stands for its future Dear friends thank
17:52
you all for your support and I
17:54
appreciate that we share the same
17:57
Understanding this war Russia against
18:00
Ukraine must be ended as soon as
18:03
possible and in a just way Ukraine needs
18:06
peace peace in Europe depends on whether
18:11
it All of you know that this week we we
18:14
had a real chance to take important
18:17
steps toward ending this war If only
18:20
Putin had not been afraid to come to
18:23
Turkey I was in in Ankara yesterday and
18:27
thanks for participation and hosting us
18:30
President Teragan and U and I was ready
18:34
for a direct meeting with Putin whether
18:36
in Anra or in Istanbul and not just for
18:41
a meeting but to resolve all the
18:43
important all the important issues to my
18:45
mind but he didn't agree to anything I
18:49
mean Putin and you can also see that the
18:52
Russian delegation that came to Istanbul
18:54
is of a very low level None of them are
18:58
people who actually make decisions in
19:00
Russia Still I send our team to
19:03
instantul led by Ukraine's minister of
19:06
defense at least to see if those
19:08
Russians can actually decide
19:12
anything Our number one priority is a
19:15
full unconditional and honest ceasefire
19:19
This must happen immediately to stop the
19:21
killing and create a solid basis for for
19:25
diplomacy first of all And if the
19:27
Russian representatives in Istanbul
19:29
today cannot even agree to that to
19:32
ceasefire to this clearly necessary
19:35
first step then it will be 100% clear
19:38
that Putin continues to undermine
19:43
If that's not the case there must be at
19:46
least some result today starting with a
19:49
ceasefire The Ukrainian delegation has a
19:52
mandate to make decisions As we saw
19:55
yesterday Russia sent almost the same
19:57
people It sent in 2022 They show that
20:01
Russia has not changed its basic
20:04
approach They make many statements many
20:09
threats but solve nothing
20:13
They are doing everything they can to
20:15
turn this Istanbul meeting into a staged
20:19
empty process just like the ones in 2022
20:23
It's not us or Western leaders who are
20:27
disrupting the negotiation and the
20:28
Russians have been claiming for years is
20:32
Russians who send empty heads to the
20:36
talks and that's what destroys the the
20:39
meaning the meaning of diplomacy So if
20:42
it turns out that the Russian delegation
20:44
really is just theatrical and can't
20:48
deliver any results today the world must
20:51
respond There needs to be a strong
20:55
reaction including sanctions against
20:57
Russia's energy sector and banks
21:00
Pressure must continue to rise until
21:05
made Ukraine is ready to take all
21:08
realistic steps to end this war I call
21:11
on Putin to give his delegation real
21:14
authority and we need a full stop to the
21:17
killing long enough to give diplomacy a
21:20
real chance Secondly we must build at
21:24
least a minimum level of trust in the
21:26
negotiation process This can be done by
21:30
releasing releasing prisoners of war
21:33
returning Ukrainian children taken by
21:35
Russia and releasing civilian hostages
21:38
currently held by the by the Russian
21:40
side Third we need to clear clearly and
21:45
define which issues must be handled at
21:49
the leadership level not below And we
21:51
all know who makes the real decisions in
21:54
Russia Fourth together with our leaders
21:57
and uh together with the countries who
21:59
are here with us today we have begun to
22:02
create a new security architecture for
22:05
Ukraine and all of Europe I thank
22:08
everyone who is on board Now it's time
22:11
to move to very practical steps And
22:14
fifth the United States President Trump
22:17
wants to end this war We need to keep
22:19
working closely with president and stay
22:22
as coordinated as possible Long-term US
22:26
support is also essential and American
22:29
backs stop is needed It's important that
22:32
we all work together on every level to
22:36
make that happen And of course I will
22:38
keep you informed throughout the day
22:40
about what is happening in Istanbul and
22:43
whether there is any chance the Russian
22:46
delegation will take real steps to stop
22:50
the killing and bring the war to an end
22:53
Thank you Eddie again for invitation
23:02
Bringing you the news in a more digital
