Putin Says He’s ‘Ready’ to Meet Zelensky But Lays Down CHILLING Preconditions; Zelensky STUNNED

Putin has announced he’s open to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — but only after a series of strict and chilling preconditions are met. The Kremlin insists that expert-level negotiations must make significant progress first, while also casting doubt on Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing the expiration of his presidential term in 2024. Ukraine, meanwhile, accuses Russia of using delay tactics to avoid real peace, with Zelensky demanding direct talks and warning the world not to fall for Moscow’s diplomatic trap #Putin #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Kremlin #UkraineCrisis #PutinVsZelensky #Geopolitics #WarAndPeace #BreakingNews #DiplomaticStandoff #IstanbulTalks #UkraineWar2025 #InternationalRelations #CeasefireNow Also Read US-Russia Submarine Showdown: Moscow Shrugs Off Trump’s Nuclear Posturing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-russia-submarine-showdown-moscow-shrugs-off-trump-s-nuclear-posturing-7818569.html?ref=DMDesc US vs. Russia: Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Amid Rising Tensions With Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/u-s-vs-russia-trump-deploys-nuclear-submarines-amid-rising-tensions-with-kremlin-7818561.html?ref=DMDesc Indian State Refiners Stop Russian Oil Imports As Trump Threatens Penalty: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-state-refiners-stop-russian-oil-imports-as-trump-threatens-penalty-report-011-7817581.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~

Putin Nearing Victory In Russia-Ukraine War? After Chasiv Yar, Russia Captures Critical Highway

After the fall of Chasiv Yar, Russian forces have seized control of the strategic Konstantinovka–Krasnoarmeisk highway — tightening their grip on eastern Ukraine. With both banks of the Kleban-Bykskoye Reservoir now under Russian control and troops advancing near key settlements, military analysts are questioning whether President Vladimir Putin is nearing a decisive breakthrough in the war.

EU President To Be Impeached? Macron, Orban EXPLODES Over EU-U.S Trade Deal | Slams Von Der Leyen

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared. Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically. #TrumpVsEU #EUTradeDeal #VonDerLeyen #TrumpTariffs #UkraineAid #USTroopsEurope #MacronSlamsEU #BrusselsBacklash #USvsEU #TradeUltimatum #EUSurrender #EuropeanUnion #TrumpDeal #EnergyImports #EUUSRelations #EUDefenseSpending #PostureReview #Geopolitics #VonDerLeyenUnderFire #SundayTimesReport ~ED.102~HT.408~

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits…

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets. Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure. #UkraineRussiaWar #SochiAttack #UkraineDrones #BlackSeaStrike #DroneWarfare #SochiExplosion #RussiaUnderAttack #SiriusHub #CiviliansTargeted #RussiaUkraineConflict #PeaceTalksFail #PutinZelensky #IstanbulTalks #UkraineStrikesBack #OilTerminalHit #EvacuationsInSochi #AirRaidSirens #RussiaWarNews #ExplosionsInSochi #GeopoliticalTensions ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Russia's MASSIVE Drone Blitz HITS Ukraine’s Recruitment Center |Putin UNLEASHES 157 Drones, Missiles

On July 6, Russian forces launched a calculated drone strike on a military enlistment and recruitment office in Kremenchuk, located in Ukraine's Poltava region. This attack came just hours after Russia conducted one of its largest aerial assaults on Ukraine, involving 157 drones and four S-300 missiles that targeted key regions including Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv, causing significant damage and casualties. Ukraine's Ground Forces have confirmed that the UAV strike in Kremenchuk hit the recruitment center and also damaged a nearby residential building. While no casualties were reported among military staff or civilians at the enlistment facility, the attack caused a fire at a private property and forced the closure of a major road in the city's central district, disrupting civilian life. This military escalation occurs amidst a complex geopolitical backdrop. A recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump failed to secure a ceasefire. Reports suggest that Putin, believing he has the upper hand in the conflict, is unwilling to halt the offensive and "throw away his lead." With the date for any further peace talks still undecided, Russia continues its relentless campaign, pounding Ukrainian cities with a massive barrage of missiles and drones. This latest attack on a recruitment center signals a strategic shift to Cripple Ukraine's ability to reinforce its front lines.

Putin UNLEASHES Hell On Ukraine | Moscow’s REVENGE As Ukraine Drones ‘Shut’ Russian Gas Pipeline

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive two‑day escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central Asia–Center gas pipeline in Volgograd—vital for Russia’s military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across borders—bringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #UkraineDrones #RussianMissiles #KyivAttack #MykolaivStrike #GasPipeline #CentralAsiaCenter #EnergyWar #Elektropribor #ShahedDrorseAirbase #PenzaAttack #RetaliationStrikes #MoscowInterceptions #CivilianCasualties #RubbleCoverage #WarEscalation #DroneOffensive #MilitaryTargets #ConflictIntensifies
