U.S. President Donald Trump has invited dozens of world leaders to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts but diplomats say it could harm the work of the United Nations.

President Putin has offered to use Russian assets frozen in the US for Ukraine’s reconstruction post-peace treaty. He also proposed a $1 billion contribution from these funds to Donald Trump’s Gaza peace initiative, a plan discussed with Washington and set for further talks with Trump’s envoys. This move aims to appeal to the US president and potentially avert further sanctions.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Aminul Islam Bulbul urged the ICC to shift T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka, citing safety concerns. The ICC confirmed the tournament will proceed as scheduled in India, stating independent security assessments found no threat to the Bangladesh team.
