Hakan Fidan hold talks Ukrainian officials at Munich Security Conference
ISTANBUL
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with top Ukrainian officials in Germany during this weekend's Munich Security Conference, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Sunday.
Fidan held talks with Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, according to the ministry.
Details of the discussions were not immediately disclosed.
Following separate phone calls last week between US President Donald Trump and his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts, speculation is running high over a possible push for a peace deal between the two neighboring countries.
Russia launched its war on Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, just short of three years ago.
Today is the concluding day of the three-day Munich conference, which is held annually.

Kyiv seeks clarity as US halts some weapons shipments to Ukraine
The United States has paused shipments of certain military munitions to Ukraine, citing a Pentagon review of foreign military assistance. The move, originally disclosed by the White House on Tuesday, has prompted concern in Kyiv and a welcoming response from Moscow. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said the Pentagon decided to halt some arms transfers planned under former President Joe Biden's administration in order to prioritize US interests. 'The strength of the US Armed Forces is unquestionable—ask Iran,' she said, referencing the June strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Kyiv said Wednesday it was working to obtain more details. 'We are clarifying the situation. I think that everything will be clarified in the coming days,' said presidential aide Dmytro Lytvyn. Ukraine also summoned a US diplomat to stress the "critical importance" of continued American military support in defending against Russia's invasion. The Kremlin quickly responded, saying the reduction in US arms deliveries would help end the war sooner. 'The fewer the number of weapons delivered to Ukraine, the closer the end of the special military operation,' said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, using Moscow's term for the war now in its fourth year. The development comes just days after President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the NATO summit in The Hague, where Kyiv requested Patriot missile systems. Trump responded cautiously: 'We'll see if we can provide some. We need them too.' Since the start of the war in February 2022, the US has provided Ukraine with over USD66 billion in weapons and military assistance, according to the Associated Press.

'Dead, wounded' after Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Izhevsk
A Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian city more than 1,000 kilometres from the front line left multiple people dead and wounded early on Tuesday, the region's governor said. It was one of the deepest strikes into Russian territory of the three-year-old conflict. Izhevsk, far from the battlefield in Ukraine, is home to multiple arms production facilities including a factory that makes attack drones. Unverified videos posted on social media showed at least one drone buzzing over the city, while another showed an explosion on the roof of a large building. The region's governor said drones had hit an "enterprise" in the city and that several people were dead and wounded, without providing details or the number of casualties. "Unfortunately, there are fatalities and seriously wounded people. "They are currently receiving all necessary assistance at the hospital in Izhevsk," Governor Alexander Brechalov wrote on Telegram. Ukraine's top military commander vowed last month to increase the "scale and depth" of strikes on Russia, saying Kyiv would not sit idly by while Moscow prolonged its offensive. Ukraine has launched retaliatory strikes on Russia throughout the conflict, targeting energy and military infrastructure sometimes hundreds of kilometres from the front line.
