A forest fire broke out in the Pifes Grias Vathras Prinos region of Samothrace Island in Greece. The fire, which grew rapidly with the effect of the strong wind, was intervened with 2 fire extinguishing helicopters and 2 extinguishing planes from the air, and 8 firefighters and 4 fire trucks from the land, the national fire department said.
Forest fires also continue in the settlements of Voula, Vari, Evelpion, Varkiza and Duzla on the island.
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.
