BREAKING: Zelensky To Defy Trump-Putin Meet As Starmer Meets Zelensky Ahead Of Alaska Summit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left Downing Street after a high-profile meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, just hours before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska for critical talks on ending the Ukraine war. The meeting between Starmer and Zelensky was a public show of unity, with both leaders refusing to comment on whether Trump could deliver a fair ceasefire. The Kremlin confirmed the Alaska summit will feature a one-on-one session followed by delegation talks, with a joint press conference to follow. Meanwhile, tensions escalate on the ground: Russia claims Ukraine launched dozens of drones at Volgograd and Belgorod overnight, while Ukraine reports deadly Russian strikes on Kharkiv. Former MI6 chief Alex Younger warns there is no sign Putin has softened his aims. The world’s attention now turns to Alaska, where the outcome could reshape the future of Europe’s bloodiest conflict in decades. #Zelensky #KeirStarmer #TrumpPutin #AlaskaSummit #UkraineWar #CeasefireTalks #RussiaUkraine #GlobalDiplomacy #Putin #Trump #UKPolitics #DowningStreet #Kharkiv #Belgorod #Volgograd #NATO #PeaceNegotiations #WarInEurope #Kremlin #Ukraine ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.122~

Russia Reveals Putin’s Top 3 Demands Before Alaska Summit | Will Trump Bow To Putin’s Demands?

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership. Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law. #Trump #Putin #AlaskaSummit #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #RussiaUkraine #Zelenskyy #Crimea #NATO #Geopolitics #InternationalLaw #Kyiv #USPolitics #Moscow #PeaceTalks #WarNews #Diplomacy #TerritorialDispute #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~

Trump giving in to Putin's Demands Even Before Alaska Summit Begins? U.S Lifts Sanctions

The United States has temporarily lifted certain sanctions on Russian transactions to facilitate historic peace talks in Alaska between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15. The move, authorized by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, allows specific transactions otherwise banned under Russia-related sanctions—strictly for organizing the summit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may join follow-up discussions, with Trump expected to push Putin toward a Ukraine ceasefire. Reports suggest Trump will offer an economic package including access to Alaska’s natural resources, easing aviation sanctions, and rare earth mineral rights in occupied Ukrainian territories. The temporary authorization expires Aug. 20, with the White House calling the meeting a “listening exercise” and a potential breakthrough. #Trump #Putin #AlaskaSummit #Russia #Ukraine #Ceasefire #PeaceTalks #Sanctions #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Moscow #Anchorage #WorldNews #InternationalRelations #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Zelensky #WarInUkraine ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.122~
