"No govt. change in Ukraine"
Russia says direct talks between President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky would be counterproductive. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said President Putin has never ruled out meeting his Ukrainian counterpart, but he believes it is fundamentally important to be well-prepared for that matter. Elsewhere, Lavrov said Russia is preparing visa restrictions for citizens coming from unfriendly countries. This is amid arrangements for the resumption of peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Turkey later this week. Meanwhile, Russia’s Security Council chief has said Moscow is not after a transition in Ukraine’s government. The official said Western suggestions in that regard were "inaccurate".
Yemen ceasefire offer
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement warns the Saudi-led coalition against missing a three-day ceasefire opportunity to end the war on his country. Sayyed Abdul Malik Badruddin Al-Houthi issued the warning in a speech ahead of the holy month of Ramadan. He said Saudis would regret losing the opportunity to end the conflict. Ansarullah’s secretary-general was referring to a three-day cessation of attacks announced by the Supreme Political Council of Yemen after a wave of retaliatory assaults on the kingdom. He, however, stressed that the movement will spare no efforts to confront the aggression and the siege against the country. Al-Houthi said, there is no way for the aggressors to be safe unless they end their war and occupation.
Pakistan political turmoil
A political turmoil looms in Pakistan with the country’s parliament set to vote on a motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Imran Khan. The house will begin a debate on the motion on Thursday, while a vote is planned within seven days. The key opposition Pakistan People’s Party joined with others to push the vote. Khan lost a parliamentary majority with a series of defections from his Tehreek-e-Insaf Party, leaving him reliant on coalition allies to stay in power. Khan’s opponents believe they have the necessary votes to unseat him. Pakistan currently grapples with soaring inflation and unemployment as accusations of corruption and mismanagement have plagued the government. Khan has blamed a foreign-funded conspiracy for trying to topple him.
