Russian President Putin agreed to a ceasefire with Ukraine. However, if Ukraine or Western countries want to continue the war, he is also willing to do so.

This was reported by the news agency Reuters citing some senior political and business figures close to Putin. They also said that Putin is willing to go to the ceasefire in the context of being ahead of the war with Ukraine recently.

Reuters published a report on Friday (May 24).

Three top Russian figures told Reuters that Putin would not mind continuing the war for as long as necessary, if necessary. Putin agrees to a ceasefire to end the war with Ukraine.

Reuters spoke to a total of five people. One of them declined to comment on the ceasefire in the context of Russia's progress in the war.

In this regard, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the head of the Kremlin has repeatedly said that Russia has always kept the door open for negotiations. He said that Putin is willing to do everything to achieve his goals. He does not want a 'civil war'.

When asked about this, the Defense Minister of Ukraine did not comment.

Last week, a Russian economist, the Russian defense minister was seen talking to some Western military and political analysts about economic management to win the country's war.

ICJ orders Israel to stop its attack on Rafah

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered an end to Israel's ongoing attack on Rafah in Palestine since October 7 last year. ICJ also asked Israeli soldiers to leave the area.

On Friday (May 24), the Supreme Court of the United Nations based in The Hague gave this order to Israel. This information was given in a report of Al Jazeera based in Qatar.

In the judgment, ICJ Chief Justice Nawaf Salam said, “Israel's attack on Rafah must be stopped immediately. No decision can be taken around the area which could harm the residents of the area.”

He said that the humanitarian situation in Rafah is catastrophic. Therefore, as soon as possible, Israeli soldiers must stop attacking there.

The court's judges said they were not satisfied with Israel's security commitments to Gaza residents and the process it is using to evacuate residents from Rafah.

Earlier, South Africa approached the International Court of Justice with the demand to stop Israel's attack on Rafah. The country claims Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. For this reason, the attack must be stopped there.

South Africa said in the petition, urgent steps must be taken to stop Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, including the town of Rafah.

The highest court of the United Nations has given a verdict on this application today. However, ICJ does not have the power to execute the judgment even if it can give this judgment. Earlier, the court ordered Russia to stop its aggression in Ukraine. But Russia did not agree.

Earlier on Monday, the top prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) called for the issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top Hamas leaders.

Note that this month, Israel launched an attack on the southern city of Rafah. Many Palestinians lost their lives. The number of injured is not less. In this situation, the residents are forced to leave the area.
