In Bangladesh, protests have erupted following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation and departure from the country. Demonstrators are targeting and destroying statues of Mujibur Rahman, the founding leader of Bangladesh and father of the former prime minister. In the past three days, dozens of statues have been torn down by the angry crowds.
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.
