54MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump are likely to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China in November if both leaders attend, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said Sunday.“If the leaders are at the same event, then it seems to me they will inevitably meet and talk,” Ushakov said in an interview with Russian broadcaster VGTRK.Ushakov stressed that Moscow had received no signals or indications that a Putin-Trump meeting was being formally planned, noting that the summit remained about three months away.“We have to live until then. Before that, we still have many major international events,” he said.The prospect of a meeting comes as Washington and Moscow remain at odds over the war in Ukraine and broader security issues.Separately, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized NATO and European Union countries over their military support for Ukraine, saying they would not be able to distance themselves from what he described as an anti-Russian policy.Lavrov said Moscow would take into account the actions of what he called “openly Russophobic elites” in Britain, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and ot

41KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that the most realistic window for diplomacy to bring Russia’s war against Ukraine to an end stretches from late 2026 through the summer of 2027, while acknowledging that major differences remain over the future of Donbas.Speaking at a ceremony marking Ukraine’s National Flag Day in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said negotiations had entered what he viewed as a potentially decisive period.“We believe that this is the most active stage at which diplomacy can lead to the end of the war. It’s the end of this year and the end of summer 2027,” Zelenskyy said.He said the question of withdrawing Ukrainian forces from Donbas remained a major point of disagreement in efforts to reach a settlement.Among the ceasefire options being discussed with the United States and European partners is a reciprocal withdrawal of forces and the establishment of a buffer “free economic zone” administered by a third party, Zelenskyy said.Kyiv is also prepared to discuss a mutual halt to attacks on energy and agricultural infrastructure, he added.Leaders from Nordic and Baltic countries attended Sunday’s events in Kyiv.Zelenskyy said Ukraine faces a $27 billion shor

30KHARTOUM — Sudan’s Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces shot down a “hostile” drone that it said had entered the country from neighboring Ethiopia.The ministry said in a statement that the drone was launched from Ethiopian territory and was flying over Blue Nile state near the border town of Kurmuk when it was intercepted.There was no immediate comment from Ethiopian authorities on the Sudanese claim, and it was not immediately clear who operated the drone or what its intended target was.The incident comes amid continuing drone activity linked to Sudan’s war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).Earlier this month, the Sudanese army said it had shot down three FH-95 drones in North Kordofan state.Sudanese authorities and human rights groups have accused the RSF of using drones to target civilian infrastructure. Fighting between the army and the RSF has continued across several parts of the country, including Blue Nile, Darfur and the three Kordofan states, North, West and South Kordofan.Sudan has been engulfed in war since April 2023, with tens of thousands of people killed and around 13 million displaced, according to UN and international estimat

31TEHRAN — Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir will visit Tehran on Monday for talks with senior Iranian officials, as Islamabad steps up mediation efforts aimed at reviving stalled negotiations between Iran and the United States.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei announced the visit on Sunday, saying Munir and an accompanying delegation would travel to the Iranian capital to strengthen bilateral cooperation and build on “Pakistan’s efforts to help strengthen peace and security in the region.”Munir is expected to hold talks with senior Iranian officials during the visit, Baqaei said in remarks carried by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.The announcement follows a telephone conversation between Munir and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in which they discussed regional developments and efforts to strengthen peace, stability and security in West Asia.The talks also covered ways to revive stalled direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington as mediators seek to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table.Pakistan, alongside Qatar, has played a key mediation role between Iran and the United States during the conflict and has maintained close c

31TEHRAN — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday that Iran is facing a “full-scale economic, military and security war,” as his government seeks to navigate mounting economic pressure and stalled negotiations with the United States.“We are in a full-scale economic, military and security war,” Pezeshkian said in a televised speech carried by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.The Iranian president acknowledged the economic difficulties facing the country, saying the government was “ashamed” that such problems persisted.“Trump easily says that they will impose the most crushing or the most terrible sanctions on Iran,” Pezeshkian said, referring to US President Donald Trump.He said Tehran was “standing firm” and working to serve the Iranian people despite what he described as an “unequal war.”Pezeshkian also argued that Iran had defied expectations that mounting pressure would destabilize the country.“The enemy had assessed that if Iran falls, it will become Venezuela. Not only did it not happen, but it became a power that amazed the world with its resistance, solidarity and cohesion,” he said.The president said his government was working “with all our might to avoid division,

42ADELAIDE — Australia on Sunday confirmed its first case of bird flu in a mammal after a long-nosed fur seal found in South Australia tested positive for the virus, according to local media.Federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said the seal was found at Beachport, about 300 kilometers south of the South Australian capital, Adelaide.“Although this is a concerning development, it is not unexpected for us to start to see infection in other wildlife, particularly in marine mammals, particularly in areas where there are high infection rates in wild birds,” Collins said.She said the infection was likely caused by exposure to infected wild birds or a shared environment and that the detection did not appear to be associated with any other sick or dead marine mammals.Australia has recorded 298 positive H5 bird flu cases since the outbreak began, including 194 in South Australia.“At this stage there is no evidence of infection in our poultry or agriculture systems,” Collins said.South Australia Environment Minister Emily Bourke said the state had recorded “devastating numbers” of detections and that authorities had anticipated the virus could eventually spread to marine mammals.Bourke s

31TOKYO — A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck eastern Japan early Sunday, injuring more than 20 people and disrupting train services across the region, according to local media citing authorities.No tsunami warning was issued following the quake, which originated in the southern part of Ibaraki Prefecture at a depth of about 68 kilometers, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.The earthquake registered lower 5 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale of 7 in parts of Ibaraki, Saitama and Chiba prefectures, as well as central Tokyo.More than 20 people were reported injured, including a young man and a woman in her 70s in Saitama. Nine people were injured in Kanagawa Prefecture and four others in Chiba.The earthquake also disrupted transportation, delaying several train services and forcing some trains to operate at reduced speeds.

50ASTANA — Kazakhstan opened more than 10,400 polling stations on Sunday for the first elections to its new 145-seat unicameral legislature, the Kurultai, marking the country’s first nationwide vote under its new constitutional system.Polling stations across the country opened at 7 a.m. local time and are scheduled to close at 8 p.m., while some stations at military facilities, shift-worker settlements, continuous-production facilities and specialized institutions opened an hour earlier.Kazakh citizens abroad can cast their ballots at 79 polling stations established at diplomatic missions in 61 countries.Voting abroad has been suspended in Iran and Ukraine due to security concerns, while no polling station was established at Kazakhstan’s embassy in Ethiopia because there are no registered Kazakh voters there.The election follows the adoption of a new constitution this year that abolished Kazakhstan’s bicameral parliament and replaced it with the Kurultai, a single-chamber legislature comprising 145 deputies.The new parliament will be elected entirely through party lists, replacing the previous electoral system that combined party-list voting with single-mandate constituencies.Seven p

31JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Saturday to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in Gaza or the occupied West Bank for as long as he remains in office.Netanyahu made the remarks in response to Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List, who said a Palestinian state already exists and is recognized by most of the international community, while urging Israel and the United States to recognize it as well.“As long as I am prime minister, there will be no Palestinian state controlled by Iran, neither in Gaza nor in Judea and Samaria,” Netanyahu said, using the biblical term for the occupied West Bank.Earlier Saturday, Abbas told his party’s general conference in the Arab city of Tayibe that the United Arab List was seeking peace between Israelis and Palestinians.“The State of Palestine exists, and the world recognizes it,” Abbas said, calling on Washington and Tel Aviv to recognize Palestinian statehood.Netanyahu’s categorical rejection of Palestinian statehood comes ahead of Israel’s Knesset elections scheduled for Oct. 27, as opinion polls indicate that his Likud party and its coalition partners could struggle to secure the 61 seats needed fo

31DAMASCUS — The expiration of a 45-day US congressional review period on Saturday cleared a key procedural hurdle toward removing Syria from Washington’s list of state sponsors of terrorism, a Syrian official said.Jihad Makdissi, an adviser on US affairs at the Syrian Foreign Ministry, said the end of the review period completed the congressional stage but did not automatically remove Syria from the designation.He said Washington can now proceed to the final executive step, which requires a formal decision by the US secretary of state and publication in the Federal Register.Makdissi said the move could help ease restrictions linked to the terrorism designation and send a positive signal to international financial institutions, companies and governments.He said removing Syria from the list could facilitate investment, trade and banking transactions.Makdissi cautioned, however, that other restrictions imposed on Syria remain subject to separate legal procedures and would not automatically be lifted as part of the same process.He said the next phase would focus on completing the executive procedures and addressing remaining restrictions to enable broader economic and political engageme

44WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Sunday renewed his criticism of Canada as a deepening trade dispute between the two neighbors threatened to further strain relations, saying Ottawa wanted the benefits of being part of the United States without becoming a state.“Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.Trump also accused Canada of imposing steep tariffs on US agricultural products over many years.“They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of Tariffs. No more!!!” he said.The remarks came as tensions intensified following the imposition of new US tariffs and Canada’s announcement that it would retaliate with matching measures.Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday accused Washington of using its tariffs to “hurt and divide” Canada, describing the measures as a “miscalculation.”“The new US tariffs are designed to hurt and divide us,” Carney said. “They’re a miscalculation because Canadians will always take care of each other.”Carney said Canada would impose dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs beginning Sept. 8, targeting products including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equi
