President Putin holds firm despite push from the U.S. – Is a peace deal possible?

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022. With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward? #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #Trump #UkraineConflict #UkraineCrisis #Warzone #Warzone #PeaceTalks #CeasefireTalks #Witkoff #Ceasefire #Crimea #Zelensky #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #USRussia

Trump’s Big ULTIMATUM to Ukraine, ‘Make Peace Or…’ Amid Failing Peace Talks | Russia Ukraine War

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine. #Trump #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #Zelensky #Putin #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #USPolitics #JDVance #MarcoRubio#TrumpAdministration #UkraineConflict #Geopolitics #MineralDeals #RussiaNews #BidenLegacy #Crimea #WorldNews #Diplomacy #BreakingNews ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.318~

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

Trump To Exit Ukraine Peace Talks? EU’s SHOCKING Revelation Amid Ceasefire Failures | Ukraine War

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative. #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #EUConcern #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPeacePlan #MarcoRubio #PeaceTalks #USForeignPolicy #Kremlin #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpExits #UkraineUpdate #RussiaTalks #WashingtonNews #EasternEurope #UkraineCrisis #TrumpTimeline #DiplomaticCrisis #Geopolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
