bbc “It was a very informative and quite a frank conversation, and very useful in this respect. First of all, I thanked the US president for US support in resuming direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine on a possible peace agreement. “The US president voiced his position on a ceasefire. For my part, I noted that Russia, too, favours a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. We simply must determine the most effective ways of moving towards peace.”

bbc Bucharest's liberal Mayor Nicusor Dan has won Romania's presidential race, beating right-wing nationalist George Simion. But nationalist George Simion isn't just rejecting what the exit polls say - that he's at least nine points behind Dan - he's claiming victory too. “I am the new president and I am giving back power to Romanians," he has claimed. No smile on his face but a determined expression that shows he won't give this race up lightly. The streets of central Bucharest are slowly filling with police cars. Sirens are clearly heard in the streets. Officers are polite and look calm – but obviously they are preparing for different scenarios, including protests. Romania's foreign ministry has warned of a viral "fake news attempt" on TikTok and other social media platforms. It's highlighted a fake video which purports to show French soldiers in Romania wearing Romanian uniforms. France has put out a statement saying it "categorically rejects" allegations regarding "alleged French interference in the Romanian presidential election". It has also urged everyone to act responsibly "out of respect for Romanian democracy".

bbc Fundamental differences between Russia and Ukraine are on display again ahead of possible talks in Turkey. Russia’s ambassador-at-large Rodion Miroshnik has just said that Kyiv only wants to discuss a ceasefire, but this is “incompatible with Moscow’s approach”. He adds that no document has been agreed yet by the two delegations – and that’s not surprising at all given the continuing tensions and animosity.

bbc Russian President Vladimir Putin is not among the names listed by the Kremlin as being due to attend peace talks on the war in Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday, despite calls from Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky for him to attend. The talks are scheduled for 10:00 local time (08:00 BST) in Istanbul's Dolmabahce Palace and will be closed to the press, Russian news agency TASS reported, citing a source familiar with the matter. Zelensky will be in the Turkish capital Ankara on Thursday to meet President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He said he would attend direct talks in Istanbul with Russia, but only if Putin also attended. The US is expected to send a high-level delegation to the talks. The country's top diplomat, Marco Rubio, arrived in Turkey on Wednesday, where he will meet Nato foreign ministers on Thursday. Ahead of that meeting, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said he met Rubio on Wednesday evening. Sybiha said he had reaffirmed Ukraine's commitment to US peace efforts, and called on Russia to "reciprocate Ukraine's constructive steps". Rubio plans to travel onwards to Istanbul on Friday, where the State Department says he will attend talks with European counterparts to discuss the war in Ukraine.

bbc Six Bulgarians have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for spying for the Kremlin in the UK and across Europe. During a lengthy trial in London, the Old Bailey court heard the cell was paid handsomely for their services, which included spying on two journalists who had exposed nerve agent attacks on Russian dissidents Alexei Navalny and Sergei Skripal. Prosecutors had told the court they had conducted operations in the UK, Austria, Spain, Germany and Montenegro. They targeted investigative journalists Christo Grozev and Roman Dobrokhotov, as well as Russian dissidents, political figures and Ukrainian soldiers training at a military base in Germany.

DW Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Monday he was ordering the closure of Russia's consulate in the southern city of Krakow after evidence showed that Russia had committed an arson attack in the capital, Warsaw, last year in which a shopping center was almost completely destroyed. The Russian ambassador was also summoned to the Foreign Ministry over the incident. The move means that Russia now has only one consulate remaining in Poland, in the city of Gdansk, after the consulate in Poznan was closed in response to other acts of sabotage suspected to have been sponsored by Moscow. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Polish authorities "now know for certain that the massive fire on Marywilska was the result of arson commissioned by Russian services." "The actions were coordinated by a person residing in Russia. Some of the perpetrators are already in custody, while the rest have been identified and are being sought," Tusk said on X, formerly Twitter. "We will catch them all!"

Da mislim da su usvojili tako neku odluku jos 2022. Malo gledam sad koji je ruski argument zasto ne zele 30odnevno primirje, i kljucna stvar je sto bi 'kolektivni zapad' to iskoristio za ozbiljno naoruzavanje Ukrajne. Da bi Kremlju izbili taj kljucni argument, u Kijevu bi mogli da predloze i da Rusija ne naoruzava svoje jedinice koje su u Ukrajni dok traje to primirje.

Jedino sto je 'narandzasti glupan' shvatio je da mu je rejting pao na najnize grane u USA istoriji za prvih 100 dana predsednikovanja. Sto se tice ovih najavljenih razgovora, ako jedna strana trazi da budu na najvisem, predsednickom nivou, onda je logicno da obe strane budu zastupljene na isti nacin. Ali ima jos vremena do cetvrtak, videcemo kako ce u Kremlju odgovoriti i koja im je sad strategija.

bbc Turkey is ready to host ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine, the country's president tells French President Emmanuel Macron. Recep Tayyip Erdogan's announcement follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to hold "direct talks" with Ukraine in Istanbul. Ukrainian President Zelensky says Ukraine "expect Russia to confirm a ceasefire – full, lasting, and reliable – starting tomorrow, 12 May, and Ukraine is ready to meet.” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calls President Putin's offer to hold talks with Ukraine "far from sufficient". He says Russia's willingness to talk is a "good sign" but says European leaders expect Moscow to agree to a ceasefire. "First, the guns must fall silent before talks can begin." Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk repeats the call for Russia to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting tomorrow. "In response to our appeal, the Russians have proposed peace talks starting May 15. The world, however, іs waiting for univocal decision on an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. "Ukraine is ready. No more victims!" he says in a social media post.
