VIDEO: Big SHOCKER For Trump & Zelensky As Putin SMASHES Patriots & ‘LIBERATES’ 5 Ukrainian Towns

In a stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers. With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PatriotMissile #HypersonicMissiles #Kinzhal #Sumy #Donetsk #Battlefield #MilitaryUpdate #UkraineCrisis #RussianArmy #WarNews #BreakingNews #UkrainianForces #Putin #USWeapons #BlackSea #NavalDrones #DroneWar #Geopolitics Also Read India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc Can You Hit Moscow?

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects… [Video]

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects…

In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations. Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine. #Trump #PutinZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #ZelenskyPutinMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpPeaceDeal #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #MartialLaw #UkraineElections #TrumpTariffs #PeaceTalks #KremlinRejects #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineSummit #TrumpThreat #ZelenskyLegitimacy #UkraineRussiaTensions #WorldNews

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke [Video]

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury. Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September.

Zelensky Fails As Kremlin Rejects One-On-One Meeting With Putin | Trump’s Sanction Deadline Nears

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline. While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast. #ZelenskyPutin #UkraineRussia #Kremlin #Putin #Zelensky #TrumpSanctions #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #USRussia #UkraineCrisis #TrumpPutin #RussiaSanctions #KremlinStatement #DiplomaticDeadlock #BreakingNews #UkraineNews #EasternEurope #RussiaVsUkraine #Geopolitics #TrumpUltimatum ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~
