Trump Says Call with Putin Yields No Progress on Ukraine Cease-Fire
President Trump said on Thursday that a phone call with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had not resulted in any movement toward ending the war in Ukraine, adding that he was 'not happy' with the conflict grinding on. 'I didn't make any progress with him at all,' Mr. Trump told reporters. The apparent impasse came during a roughly hourlong conversation between the leaders on Thursday morning — the sixth known call between the two since Mr. Trump returned to office in January — that both sides said covered a wide range of issues, including Iran. Russia underscored the need to resolve contentious matters regarding Iran and its nuclear program exclusively through diplomatic means, the Kremlin's top foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters, according to a briefing released by Russian state news. Mr. Trump ordered the June 21 bombing of Iran's nuclear enrichment sites in support of the Israeli bombing campaign that began on June 13. U.S. and Russian leaders agreed to continue contacts between their foreign ministries, defense ministries and presidential aides on the matter, Mr. Ushakov said. On Ukraine, Mr. Putin appeared to reiterate his unyielding position on negotiations, which has led many Western officials to question whether he is serious about peace talks. According to Mr. Ushakov, Mr. Putin told Mr. Trump that Russia would continue to press ahead to achieve its war aims and resolve the 'root causes' of the conflict. That phrase is often read as Kremlin shorthand for Moscow's demands that Ukraine cede territory, embrace neutrality, be excluded from joining NATO or other military alliances and be subjected to limits on its military.

Kremlin: Putin tells Trump Russia will ‘pursue its goals' in Ukraine
Listen to Australian and world news, and follow trending topics with SBS News Podcasts . The Russian government says President Vladimir Putin has reiterated to US President Donald Trump that Russia will keep pushing to solve the conflict's root causes. The comments come as Mr Trump has been pushing for a quick halt to the Ukraine war in a nearly hour long phone call with Mr Putin. Mr Putin's aide says the two leaders did not discuss the U-S decision to halt some weapons shipments to Ukraine during the call. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he hopes to speak to President Trump today (Friday) about the pause in weapons shipment. "We supported it from the very beginning, the idea of President Trump, unconditional ceasefire. I said it not once that we are ready for any kind of format of meeting, and I think that in Russia, only Putin, real decision makers, that's why we need meeting on the level of leaders if we really want peace." Justice advocates in the Australian Capital Territory say the territory's decision to raise the age of criminal responsibility should serve as an example to other states and territories. The ACT has become the first jurisdiction in Australia to raise the age at which a child can be held responsible for a crime to 14. Rather than facing charges, children will now be referred to a therapeutic support panel to help address their offending. Serious crimes such as murder, serious violence and sexual offences will be exempt. Jonathan Hunyor of the Justice and Equity Centre says locking up ten-year-old children only creates worse social problems. "Well the ACT has looked at the evidence, and the ACT is obviously serious about making their community safer because we know that locking up kids makes the community less safe. What locking up kids does is it cruels their chances, it takes them away from positive influences and what they talk about, building social capital... and instead what do is place kids in a situation where they build criminal capital. They go to the university of crime, they get taught that they're criminals." Gaza's health ministry says Israeli airstrikes and shootings have killed 94 Palestinians in Gaza in a single night, including 45 who were attempting to get much-needed humanitarian aid. Five people were killed while outside sites associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the privately-run American aid organisation backed by Israel, while 40 others were killed waiting for aid in other locations across the Gaza Strip. 15 people were in strikes that hit tents in the sprawling Mawasi zone, where many displaced Palestinians are sheltering, and a separate strike on a school in Gaza City sheltering displaced people also killed 15 people. Intisar Abu Assi lost her son and daughter in the strikes. "My son and daughter and their children, my children, my children (Camerawoman's asking: How old are the children?) They are all small children, no older than 12, 10, 8, 5, 2 years old, my beloved ones. (Camerawoman's asking: How many people have you lost?) 13 individuals, 13 people from one family." Airlines are being warned to tighten security after a hack affecting millions of Qantas customers leaves the aviation giant exposed to possible legal action. The cyber attack targeted a third-party platform used by one of the airline's call centres, exposing the personal details of up to six million customers. Names, phone numbers, dates of birth and email addresses are among the data believed to be leaked. Legal experts have suggested the incident could lead to a class action in a repeat of compensation claims lodged following major breaches at Optus and Medibank in 2022. Analysts say the Medibank hack could end up costing the health insurer $700 million or more. Gaza's Health Ministry says the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has passed 57,000, including 223 missing people who have been declared dead since October 7th, 2023. Liverpool fans have paid tribute to star Portuguese forward Diogo Jota, who has died in a car crash near Zamora in northwestern Spain with his brother Andre Silva. According to local authorities, Jota and his brother died when the car they were in veered off the road and burst into flames. Spanish police say evidence at the scene of the crash suggests Jota's car suffered a burst tyre while overtaking. Fans have gathered to honour the player, leaving cards and flowers in his memory. "The way he played football with a smile on his face all the time. He was the epitome of enjoying what you do. Every time he went out on the pitch he gave his all. You don't know these people personally, but when you do lose somebody in this fashion, it's devastating. It's going to affect everyone. It's like losing someone really, really close to you." Jota, who was married on June 28th, helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season and also won the FA Cup and League Cup with the team. (Liverpool Football Club has issued a statement, saying it's devastated by the death of Jota and his brother. The Portuguese Football Federation has also paid tribute to the brothers, saying their deaths are an irreparable loss for Portuguese football.) ***

Putin told Trump will not 'give up' aims in Ukraine: Kremlin
MOSCOW: Russian leader Vladimir Putin told US President Donald Trump by telephone on Thursday (Jul 3) that Moscow will not "give up" on its aims in Ukraine, the Kremlin said. The pair spoke as US-led peace talks on ending the more than three-year-old conflict in Ukraine have stalled and after Washington paused some weapons shipments to Kyiv. The Kremlin said the call lasted almost an hour. Trump has been frustrated with both Moscow and Kyiv as US efforts to end fighting have yielded no breakthrough. "Our president said that Russia will achieve the aims it set, that is to say the elimination of the root causes that led to the current state of affairs," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters. "Russia will not give up on these aims." Moscow has long described its maximalist aims in Ukraine as getting rid of the "root causes" of the conflict, demanding that Kyiv give up its NATO ambitions. Moscow's offensive in Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people and Russia now controls large swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine. Even so, Putin told Trump that Moscow would continue to take part in negotiations. "He also spoke of the readiness of the Russian side to continue the negotiation process," Ushakov added. "Vladimir Putin said that we are continuing to look for a political, negotiated solution to the conflict," Ushakov said. Moscow has for months refused to agree to a US-proposed ceasefire in Ukraine. Kyiv and its Western allies have accused Putin of dragging out the process while pushing on with Russia's advance in Ukraine. The Kremlin said that Putin had also "stressed" to Trump that all conflicts in the Middle East should be solved "diplomatically", after the US struck nuclear sites in Russia's ally Iran. ZELENSKYY IN DENMARK Putin and Trump spoke as Kyiv said that Russian strikes on Thursday killed at least eight people in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was visiting ally Denmark on Thursday. A senior Ukrainian official told AFP that Trump and Zelenskyy planned to speak to each other on Friday. The US deciding to pause some weapons shipments has severely hampered Kyiv, which has been reliant on Western military support since Moscow launched its offensive in 2022. Zelenskyy told EU allies in Denmark that doubts over US military aid reinforced the need for greater cooperation with Brussels and NATO. He stressed again that Kyiv had always supported Trump's "unconditional ceasefire". On Wednesday, Kyiv scrambled to clarify with the US what a White House announcement on pausing some weapons shipments meant. "Continued American support for Ukraine, for our defence, for our people is in our common interest," Zelenskyy had said on Wednesday.
