Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has intensified his criticism of the United States, directly accusing President Donald Trump of encouraging the wave of protests that has shaken the country.

Speaking in Beijing at the close of a state visit, Putin said he saw “a certain light at the end of the tunnel,” citing what he described as sincere efforts by the United States to broker a settlement.

Putin said he was open to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — but only in Moscow, and only if the meeting was thoroughly prepared and produced tangible results. Kyiv has rejected Moscow as a venue, calling the proposal “unacceptable.”

Zelenskyy continues to push for direct talks, urging Washington to impose further sanctions on Russia if Putin refuses meaningful dialogue. Meanwhile, the conflict — now in its fourth year — shows no sign of slowing, with both sides carrying out fresh strikes on infrastructure and energy facilities.
