Hurricane Beryl has caused 9 deaths across the Caribbean and disrupted travel as it heads toward Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The storm has led to the cancellation of 109 flights at Cancun and Tulum airports. The Mexican Ministry of Defense has established 120 temporary shelters, and market shelves are being emptied due to panic buying. The American National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts the storm will weaken in two days but warns of continued heavy rain and winds along Mexico’s Caribbean coast. The UN is sending aid to affected regions.
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.
