16.05.2025 ⇢ Day of Prisoner Exchange Promise Amid Failed Peace
⌨The Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul finally took place after yesterday's postponement, with both countries sending delegations rather than their leaders. Initial reports described the talks as failing after just two hours, but by early afternoon, media reported a significant agreement to exchange 2,000 prisoners of war - the first tangible outcome after three years of conflict.
Despite this breakthrough, fundamental positions remained distant, with Russia demanding Ukrainian withdrawal from four regions. Von der Leyen announced new EU sanctions, saying "Putin doesn't want peace."
In domestic news, the Begoña Gómez case saw contradictory developments, with Madrid's court both correcting parts of Judge Peinado's investigation while alleging she "took advantage of her proximity" to PM Sánchez to "sell favors."
FC Barcelona celebrated their La Liga championship with a parade through Barcelona that drew massive crowds, forcing street and metro closures at Arc de Triomf.
