in remarks to the media overnight effectively rejected the offer and proposed

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had discussed Russian-Ukrainian peace efforts in separate calls with Zelenskyy, Putin and Trump.Erdogan said “a new window of opportunity has emerged for peace,” and claimed that previous talks hosted by Turkey in 2022 came close to success but were derailed by “war barons.”

“We support my dear friend Trump’s determination to resolve active conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy,” he said.Trump insisted that Ukraine accept the Russian offer of talks. Zelenskyy went a step further Sunday and put pressure on Putin by offering a personal meeting.France added its voice to that offer Monday, with Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot urging Putin to accept — though Barrot repeated the European position that a truce must be in place before the talks.

Russia’s failure to join the ceasefire offered by Ukraine would bring further sanctions on Moscow, European leaders say. Germany on Monday reminded Russia of that intention.Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday, said the pressure on Russia was increasing.

“Everybody wants peace now. Ukraine wants peace, Europe wants peace, the US wants peace,’' he told The Associated Press during an interview in London. “Now Russia needs to make up their mind whether they also want peace or not, an unconditional ceasefire.”

Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said that giving ultimatums to Russia was “unacceptable” and wouldn’t work. “You cannot talk to Russia in this language,” he told reporters.By forcing the population to relocate around aid hubs, the system would “depopulate entire parts of Gaza” and could be used to potentially expel the population, she said.

“They are framing (the plan) to fix the problem that doesn’t really exist,” she said, referring to Israel’s contention that it must prevent Hamas from taking aid.The use of private security companies has also alarmed humanitarian workers. While it’s common for private security firms to operate in conflict zones, they have to respect humanitarian law and at a minimum be fully vetted and monitored, said Jamie Williamson, executive director for the International Code of Conduct Association.

Tamara Alrifai, communications director for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, which has led the aid effort it Gaza, said the plan was logistically unworkable.She said the foundation does not appear able to match the current infrastructure needed to distribute food and address other humanitarian needs.
