Kremlin says no date yet for next round of Ukraine peace talks
MOSCOW - The Kremlin said on Thursday there was no progress yet towards setting a date for the next round of peace talks with Ukraine, Interfax news agency reported.
Another agency, TASS, quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying Russia was in favour of continued U.S. efforts to mediate.
Resuming negotiations after a gap of more than three years, Russia and Ukraine held face-to-face talks in Istanbul on May 16 and June 2 that led to a series of prisoner exchanges and the return of the bodies of dead soldiers.
But they have made no progress towards a ceasefire which Ukraine, with Western backing, has been pressing for. REUTERS

FIA head Ben Sulayem laughs off 'reign of terror' jibe

REUTERS/Jean Bizimana/File Photo SILVERSTONE, England - FIA head Mohammed Ben Sulayem laughed off talk of a 'reign of terror' inside motorsport's world governing body and promised on Sunday the coming presidential election would be fair and transparent. The Emirati is seeking a second term in December after being first elected in 2021, with American Tim Mayer the sole declared opponent. Mayer announced his candidacy on Friday ahead of the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, telling a press conference he saw a "failure in leadership" at the FIA. "Those people work very hard. They deserve leadership that provides them with tools, with a vision, with resources and more than anything else does not have a reign of terror every time they walk into the office," Mayer said. Ben Sulayem found the assertion ridiculous. "I just laughed. I actually had a smile. I said whoever is saying this, they are disconnected with the FIA. Honestly," he told Reuters. "You go to the FIA and just enter and see. Sit with them, tell them it's just between you and them, and ask them the question. I think maybe he's confusing the period," he added. Top stories Swipe.

There has been a high turnover of senior staff since Ben Sulayem took office, including former Deputy President for Sport Robert Reid who resigned in April. "Decisions are being made behind closed doors, bypassing the very structures and people the FIA exists to represent," Reid said then. Ben Sulayem, whose reign so far has featured a number of controversies including statute changes that opponents say make it harder for rivals to stand against him, defended his record. "Have you ever read any article where I said negatively about a single person? That's not me," he said. Reminded he had told Reuters in May that he had "cleaned up the FIA house" and rid it of enemies who wanted to stab him in the back, Ben Sulayem smiled: "It's not because they don't want to stab me, it's because there's no space left. "Truly numbers do not lie... they (the members) are happier, they can see that the money is invested back in. And in everything there is governance." Of the election, the former rally driver said he was prepared. "It's like putting your helmet and gloves back on. Really it reminds me of competitions, and competition is always good," he added. "We have such clear guidelines that now you cannot fiddle around with anything and that will never happen, not in my reign." Mayer, 59, is the son of former McLaren team principal Teddy Mayer and has previously served as a voluntary steward and FIA commission member and national association representative for the United States. He was also senior vice-president of racing operations at IndyCar/Champ Car from 1998-2003 and COO of the IMSA and American Le Mans sportscar Series from 2004-2009. REUTERS

Sweden to map immigrants' values to boost integration
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The Scandinavian country has taken in large numbers of refugees since the 1990s. STOCKHOLM - Sweden plans to survey immigrants' values in a bid to improve their integration into the country's progressive and liberal society, Sweden's new integration minister said on July 6. Sweden's right-wing government came to power in 2022 backed by the far-right Sweden Democrats, vowing to crack down on immigration and improve the integration of immigrants, among other things. Integration Minister Simona Mohamsson, who was appointed in a cabinet reshuffle a week ago, said Sweden's secular, unpatriarchal society can pose challenges for immigrants from more traditional, conservative countries. 'We are an extreme country, in a good way. For people who join our society, it can be a little difficult to navigate,' she told Sweden's paper of reference Dagens Nyheter in an interview. Previous surveys conducted by the World Values Survey research group have shown that some newly-arrived immigrants to Sweden have diverging views from native Swedes on issues such as divorce, sex before marriage, abortion and homosexuality. After 10 years in Sweden, their values had evolved and were more in line with those of native Swedes, according to the World Values Survey. 'Ten years is far too long. That's a whole generation of girls who don't get to choose who they want to love or boys who can't come out of the closet,' Ms Mohamsson said. Some 3,000 people will be surveyed this autumn about their 'values', half of them of Swedish background and the other half 'non-Western', she explained. 'The result will guide integration efforts going forward.' She said the plan was 'not about changing opinions', but rather 'about upholding the values we have in Sweden.' Those who choose to come to Sweden have a responsibility to try to be a part of society, she insisted. 'It is not a human right to live in Sweden.' The Scandinavian country has taken in large numbers of refugees since the 1990s, many fleeing from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and the former Yugoslavia. But following a large influx in 2015, successive Swedish governments from both the left- and right-wing have tightened asylum rules . In 2024, around 20 per cent of Sweden's inhabitants were born in another country, compared to around 11 per cent in 2000, according to Statistics Sweden. AFP

South Korea prosecutors file request to detain ex-president Yoon
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox South Korea's former President Yoon Suk Yeol arrives at Seoul High Prosecutor's Office to attend questioning after being summoned as part of a probe by a special prosecutor into his botched attempt to declare martial law, in Seoul, South Korea, June 28, 2025. REUTERS/Kim Soo-hyeon/File Photo SEOUL - South Korean special prosecutors on Sunday filed a request to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to insurrection from when he declared martial law last year, the prosecutor's office said in a statement. "Detention request is related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of justice," the statement from the special counsel of prosecutors investigating the December 3 incident said. Yoon's martial law decree was lifted about six hours after it was announced when lawmakers, who had been forced to scale the walls of the assembly building to make it through a ring of security forces, voted the decree down. Yoon was summoned on Saturday for hours of questioning by the special counsel as part of the probe over the insurrection charges, according to the counsel officials. Yoon's lawyer was not immediately available for comment on Sunday. REUTERS
