SCO Summit BREAKING: Putin Meets Xi | Most Powerful Moment Of SCO Summit 2025

At the SCO Summit, a powerful moment unfolded as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in a private and seemingly warm conversation. Xi immediately called for his interpreter after the photo-op, ensuring a lengthy and precise exchange with Putin while other world leaders lined up for the traditional family photo. Their relaxed smiles suggested not just diplomacy, but a bond strengthening at a time of rising global tensions. The interaction is already being seen as symbolic of a deepening Russia-China axis, potentially unsettling the West. Observers note that this visible show of unity comes as U.S. and NATO seek to counter both Moscow and Beijing’s influence. For many, it was more than just small talk—it was a message of strategic alignment, one that could shift the global balance of power. #Putin #XiJinping #RussiaChina #SCOSummit #Geopolitics #SCO #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #StrategicAlliance #WorldNews #PutinXi #BRICS #NATO #USChina #USRussia #PowerShift #Summit2025 #MultipolarWorld #EastVsWest #GlobalOrder ~HT.410~

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War? [Video]

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War?

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia. #Trump #EU #Ukraine #Putin #Zelensky #Russia #US #NATO #UkrainePeace #BreakingNews #Moscow #Kyiv #Washington #Europe #Conflict #Diplomacy #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Axios #TheAtlantic ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claims Amid SCO 2025 | Vows To Conduct Trilateral Meeting Between Putin & Zelensky [Video]

Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claims Amid SCO 2025 | Vows To Conduct Trilateral Meeting Between Putin & Zelensky

A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Modi #Russia #Ukraine #US #China #Moscow #Kyiv #PeaceTalks #TrilateralSummit #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #NATO #India #AlaskaSummit #Diplomacy #UkraineWar #WorldPolitics ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~
