Zelenskyy's Office warns: Without Putin in Istanbul, there is no point in negotiations

Negotiations with Russia in Istanbul without the personal participation of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, are meaningless. Only he, as the initiator of the war, can make decisions, and a delegation without a mandate is just an attempt to buy time and create the illusion of dialogue, states Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, in a comment to the YouTube channel RBC-Ukraine.

Nakba 77: Palestinians Call for a Global Day of Action on 15 May 2025 | BDS Movement

As we approach the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, the planned ethnic cleansing and expulsion of most of the Indigenous people of Palestine, your meaningful solidarity action is needed now more than ever.

Israel just announced its livestreamed genocide against Palestinians is about to get even deadlier, as it prepares for mass ethnic cleansing and total destruction of Gaza.

“In our thousands, in our millions, we are all Palestinians,” is a popular slogan of solidarity around the world. Given the ferocity of Israel’s daily massacres and its criminal impunity, the Palestinian BDS National Committee, the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS movement, calls for escalating peaceful pressure like never before.

Rise up and escalate BDS now!

The BDS movement calls for mass global mobilizations and civil disobedience on 15 May.
