A man in Russia blew up an elevator with a bomb as it his neighbor was causing a noise while repairing the elevator of the apartment building. The elevator cabin was fragmentized, seriously injuring the man inside following the blast. The Russian Investigation Committee announced that chemicals and tools used in making bombs were seized in the raid. The suspect, who was taken into custody, said in his first statement that his neighbor was constantly repairing the elevator and making noise, which is why he planted a bomb and carried out his plan. The suspect in custody will be referred to the court after the proceedings and will most likely be arrested.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.
Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.
Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
