A fire broke out in the balcony of an apartment on the 3rd floor of a 5-storey building in Turkish city of Kilis. As a result of the fire, 2 children died in the flames and 2 people were injured. The moments of the 2 children, who were caught between the iron bars of the balcony and asking for help from other people, were recorded by eyewitnesses’ mobile phone cameras. Also the fear and panic experienced by the eyewitnesses also reflected in the video images.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have been suspended, noting that while communication channels remain open, “it would be more accurate to say there has been a pause.”
Peskov accused European countries of obstructing dialogue but insisted Moscow remains ready for negotiations.
Russia and Ukraine held three rounds of direct talks this year in Istanbul, leading to prisoner exchanges but little progress toward ending the war.
