Zelensky NOT INVITED to Trump-Putin Alaska Peace Talks? Ukraine LEFT OUT, Russia Gains Upper Hand

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly not been invited to the upcoming Trump–Putin peace summit in Alaska on August 15, raising concerns of a diplomatic sidelining. White House sources say the meeting will focus on U.S.–Russia dialogue at Moscow’s request. While Trump has floated territorial swaps as a path to peace, Zelensky rejects the idea, citing constitutional limits. The Kremlin insists talks must address Crimea and four regions annexed in 2022, while Ukraine refuses any concessions, leaving negotiations at an impasse. #TrumpPutin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #AlaskaSummit #Trump #Putin #USRussia #UkraineConflict #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Zaporozhye #Kherson #TerritorialSwaps #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #WarNegotiations #BreakingNews #Kremlin #Diplomacy #UkraineRussiaWar #Moscow #Washington #Geopolitics #PeaceSummit #UkraineSidelined #TrumpNews #PutinNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Europe OPPOSES Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan With Putin | Zelensky SLAMS Proposal to Swap Territory

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #EUAllies #NoDealWithoutUkraine #Donbas #Crimea #EuropePolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #WarInUkraine #InternationalRelations #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews #UkraineStrong #PutinTalks #UkraineRussia #BackUkraine #TrumpPutin #EUvsTrump #PeaceDeal #KyivStrong #DonbasCrimea #UkraineWarUpdate #StandWithUkraine Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

BREAKING: Ukraine DESTROYS Russia’s Prized S-500 Radar In Daring Drone Strike On Occupied Crimea [Video]

BREAKING: Ukraine DESTROYS Russia’s Prized S-500 Radar In Daring Drone Strike On Occupied Crimea

Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has confirmed a daring drone strike that destroyed one of Russia’s most advanced radar stations in occupied Crimea. The 98L6 Yenisei radar, crucial to both the S-500 and S-400 air defense systems, was targeted by the elite “Prymary” (Ghosts) division in a precision operation. HUR said the hit dealt a “significant blow” to Moscow’s defensive capabilities on the peninsula. The strike also damaged a Russian fast assault landing craft and two other radar stations during a wave of coordinated attacks. Crimea, seized by Russia in 2014, has seen escalating Ukrainian strikes since the 2022 full-scale invasion, as Kyiv seeks to Cripple Moscow’s logistics and air defense networks ahead of key offensives. The loss of the Yenisei radar could leave Russian forces more vulnerable to further Ukrainian operations across the Black Sea region. #Ukraine #Crimea #Russia #DroneStrike #S500 #AirDefense #WarNews #Military #HUR #S400 #CrimeaAttack #Putin #Zelensky #BlackSea #Kyiv #RussianForces #UkraineWar #MissileDefense #RadarStrike #BreakingNews ~HT.318~

Trump DUMPS Zelensky? Suggests BIG PRIZE for Putin to END Ukraine War | Zelensky suffers MELTDOWN

Donald Trump has floated a controversial Ukraine-Russia peace proposal involving territorial swaps, suggesting both sides could benefit. According to reports, Vladimir Putin is open to halting the war if Kyiv cedes eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fiercely rejected any deal involving land concessions, calling it a reward for Russian aggression. While Trump insists the idea could end the conflict, Zelensky warned that any settlement without Ukraine’s consent is doomed, urging a “dignified and lasting” peace instead. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #PeaceDeal #TerritorialSwap #Donetsk #Crimea #RussiaUkraine #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #WarAndPeace #Kyiv #Moscow #USPolitics #GlobalConflict #BreakingNews #Ukraine #Russia #TrumpPutin #ZelenskySpeech #UkrainePeace #PutinPlan #WarResolution #MilitaryConflict Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’ [Video]

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’

A Wall Street Journal report claims Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet Donald Trump and halt the Ukraine war if Kyiv surrenders its eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. The proposal, relayed via U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, demands Ukraine’s withdrawal from key regions. European leaders and President Zelensky strongly reject territorial concessions, citing Ukraine’s constitutional ban on such moves. Trump’s push for land swaps is straining U.S.-Ukraine ties and creating friction within NATO ahead of a possible Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. #Putin #Trump #Ukraine #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Donetsk #Crimea #PeaceDeal #NATO #Kyiv #TerritorySwap #Russia #USPolitics #WarNews #EasternUkraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Geopolitics #WSJReport #KyivRejectsDeal #EuropeRejectsDeal #TrumpPutin #UkraineMap #CrimeaAnnexation #RussiaUkraineConflict #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #NATOAllies #KyivWashingtonTensions Also Read US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Speaks With ‘Friend’ Putin, Vows To Strengthen India-Russia Relations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-speaks-with-friend-putin-vows-to-strengthen-india-russia-relations-7824237.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Hopes for Meeting with Trump as White House Pushes for Ukraine Peace Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-hopes-to-meet-trump-ukraine-peace-deal-011-7823563.html?ref=DMDesc
