    Donald Trump took no apparent action at the passing of his latest deadline for Vladimir Putin to come to the negotiating table with Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a>.<\/strong> He was \u201cvery disappointed\u201d in the Russian ruler, and was planning on \u201cdoing something to help people live\u201d, said the US president, without any specifics. He was speaking on the radio show of Scott Jennings, a US conservative pundit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, has repeated the well-worn Kremlin line<\/strong> that any peace deal must recognise \u201cnew territorial realities\u201d \u2013 referring to Russia\u2019s illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory \u2013 and Moscow\u2019s demand that it somehow be part of postwar \u201csecurity guarantees\u201d to Ukraine despite being the invader. Lavrov said he expected talks between Russian and Ukraine to continue. Vladimir Putin has refused bilateral talks with Ukraine\u2019s president that Trump promised to organise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Ukrainians paid tribute to prominent politician Andriy Parubiy as he was buried on Tuesday<\/strong> after being gunned down in a daytime attack on Saturday, the second assassination in the western city of Lviv in just over a year. Ukrainian police, who have detained the alleged gunman, said on Monday they suspected Russian involvement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    In courtroom footage, the alleged assassin, a Ukrainian man, admitted to shooting Parubiy, a 54-year-old sitting lawmaker<\/strong>, and described it as \u201cmy personal revenge\u201d against the state. The suspect said he wanted to be included in a prisoner exchange with Russia to find the body of his son, a Ukrainian soldier who was killed, adding that he had not been recruited by Moscow for the murder. A Lviv court has put the man in custody for 60 days pending investigation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

But based on updated assessments, it now estimates the figure at about 2,000\u201d, lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun told reporters after a briefing from the spy agency. Lee said the intelligence service believed Pyongyang planned to deploy another 6,000 soldiers and engineers to Russia and 1,000 had already arrived.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Ukraine will never agree to legalise the Russian occupation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant<\/strong> and an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops is the only way to guarantee safety, the Ukrainian foreign ministry has said. Vladimir Putin said in China<\/a> that Moscow was ready to cooperate with the US at the plant, seized in the first weeks after Moscow\u2019s February 2022 invasion. \u201cThe Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is and will remain an integral part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine. Any attempts by Russia to question this fact are legally null and void and politically pointless,\u201d the Ukrainian foreign ministry said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
