Tentative Signals of Peace as Putin Opens Door to Talks Amid Renewed Strikes
Tentative Signals of Peace as Putin Opens Door to Talks Amid Renewed Strikes In a rare shift in tone, Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated a potential openness to direct negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, marking the first such signal since the early days of the full-scale invasion that began in February 2022. Despite this overture, Russia continued a series of deadly strikes across Ukraine just hours after Putin’s remarks, casting doubt on the sincerity or viability of renewed diplomatic efforts. In an interview broadcast by Russian state television on Monday, Putin said, “We have always looked positively on any peace initiatives. We hope that representatives of the Kyiv regime will feel the same way.” His comments appeared to reference Ukraine's recent appeal for a temporary truce and its ongoing call to avoid targeting civilians. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later clarified the Russian leader’s position, suggesting that Putin’s statement reflected a readiness to engage in direct talks with Ukraine specifically about limiting or ending strikes on civilian areas. “When the president said that it was possible to discuss the issue of not striking civilian targets, including bilaterally, the president had in mind negotiations and discussions with the Ukrainian side,” Peskov told Interfax news agency. However, any optimism generated by Putin's comments was quickly undercut by a new wave of Russian attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions on Tuesday. In the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, a missile strike on a residential apartment building left one woman dead and injured at least 20 others, including four children. Farther east, in Kharkiv, local officials reported that a daytime drone assault wounded seven people. Additional strikes were confirmed in Odesa, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kherson. A Monday night attack on a five-storey apartment block in Odesa left three people injured, according to local media. President Zelensky condemned the surge of violence, calling it “deliberate Russian terror” and asserting that it could be halted “by a single order.” In his nightly video address, Zelensky stressed that Ukraine had proposed to prolong a ceasefire observed briefly during Easter, when no Russian airstrikes were reported. “This was proven by the short-lived Easter truce on Saturday, when there were no airstrikes in Ukraine,” he wrote on Telegram. He reiterated a proposal, first introduced over the weekend, calling for a 30-day cessation of strikes using long-range drones and missiles on civilian infrastructure. “If Russia does not agree to such a step, it will be proof that it wants to continue doing only things that destroy people’s lives and continue the war,” Zelensky stated. There have been no official direct talks between Russia and Ukraine since the early weeks of the war. Whether Putin’s latest remarks represent a genuine turning point or are merely rhetorical remains to be seen. For now, the ongoing strikes continue to blur the line between diplomatic possibility and the grim realities of a war with no clear end. Adpated by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-04-24 -

American version of Adolf Hitler': Major Jewish newspaper makes stark Trump comparison
If you look at the history of The Forward Association is NOT contrary to the "editorial board"'s opnion(s). Its evolved from a Yiddish socialist newspaper, and is considered leftwing. You believe that Terrance Petty is someone who writes contrary to the Editorial Board's opinions. He's written similar articles for The Forward before: https://forward.com/opinion/702025/trump-media-assault-hitler-third-reich-goebbels/ This piece from another writer does appear to express the sentiments of the Board (there is no disclaimer) https://forward.com/news/702064/trump-promised-to-protect-jews-and-religious-liberty-his-refugee-ban-is-keeping-out-700-persecuted-iranian-jews/ Its a negative story about the American President. The current Editor in Chief is Jane Eisener. You can judge her view on the current occupant of the White House. Those views are not inconsistant with a views of Mr Petty Further, The Forward did a Jewish rating for all 47 American Presidets https://forward.com/culture/482596/presidents-day-jewish-trump-biden-kennedy-reagan-obama/ The ppaper has published many articles comparing the American to a Nazi or Hitlet. They complained about Voice of America, which was established to fight Nazi propaganda, is facing cuts from the 47th President. They reported on Pritzker making an out and out comparison of the 47th President's policies tom Nazi Germany. Repeated articles about the anti-semitism of the people he is associated with, such as Musk and West. They published an article in the proposed Gaza resettlement plan directly to The Final Solution. They have compared the current Administration's website purging to Nazi book burning. They said Joe Kent has White Supremacist connections. Various articles appearing on "The Forward" comparing the 47th President to Hitler and the Nazis. https://forward.com/opinion/713686/dolchstosslegende-nazi-lie-adolf-hitler-donald-trump/ https://forward.com/opinion/702025/trump-media-assault-hitler-third-reich-goebbels/ https://forward.com/opinion/700261/german-word-forced-into-line-nazis-at-the-watercooler-trump/ https://forward.com/opinion/709612/trump-hitler-target-universities-columbia-tufts-einstein-brecht/ https://forward.com/culture/694570/trans-trump-nazi-magnus-hirschfeld-executive-order/ https://forward.com/fast-forward/615880/donald-trump-hitler-nazi-references/ https://forward.com/opinion/712342/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deportation-nazi-parallel/ https://forward.com/opinion/674236/trump-hitler-fascism/ https://forward.com/opinion/633381/hitler-1932-trump-nazi-rise/ https://forward.com/opinion/670465/trump-mass-deportation-vichy-france/ https://forward.com/culture/403526/infest-the-ugly-nazi-history-of-trumps-chosen-verb-about-immigrants/ https://forward.com/community/455507/100-year-old-holocaust-survivor-compares-trump-to-hitler/ https://forward.com/opinion/425683/take-it-from-a-civil-liberties-professor-trump-and-hitler-have-a-lot-in/ https://forward.com/opinion/455484/we-were-criticized-for-comparing-trumps-hate-to-the-nazis-then-he-told-the/ https://forward.com/opinion/376307/trump-cnn-tweet-evoked-the-nazis/ -
