Putin has agreed Ukraine can have 'NATO-style' security guarantee, US envoy says
Sunday, 17 August 2025 () Vladimir Putin has agreed to allow Ukraine's allies to offer it a NATO-like security guarantee as part of an eventual deal to end the war, according to US special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Russia claims a major victory in Donbass, announcing over 265 Ukrainian soldiers killed in strikes during the liberation of Shcherbinovka, Donetsk. The Defense Ministry released footage showing destroyed artillery, including a US-made M777 howitzer. Putin hailed the offensive by Vostok Group forces,...
Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

Just hours before President Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, NPR discovered sensitive State Department documents left at a public hotel printer in Anchorage. The leaked papers included phone numbers, a seating chart, a pronunciation guide for Putin’s name, the official gift list, and the full dinner menu. While the White House dismissed it as “just a lunch menu,” critics blasted the slip as another embarrassing security lapse. Lawmakers warn the incident highlights troubling gaps in protocol ahead of critical international talks.

Rumors about Vladimir Putin's declining health have been around for years ... and there might be some truth to the speculation if you caught the subtle clues.. TMZ.com
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

Hours after a high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting ended without progress, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and Shaheed drones across Ukraine, killing five and wounding eleven. Ukraine’s air defense intercepted 40 drones, but multiple strikes hit civilian areas. Hopes for a ceasefire faded as European leaders opposed Trump’s accelerated peace plan, instead urging direct Ukraine-Russia talks. Trump now seeks a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky on August 22, as the war intensifies and negotiations remain deadlocked.

European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump. The meeting comes as Trump pushes Zelensky toward a quick peace deal involving territorial concessions to Russia—something strongly opposed by EU allies. Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte, Alexander Stubb, Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Giorgia Meloni are all expected to attend. The talks will focus on security guarantees, future military aid, and Ukraine’s borders—underscoring deep transatlantic divisions over Trump’s push for compromise with Putin.

Five people killed as Russia continues to pummel Ukrainian cities
Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities firing hundreds of missiles and projectiles daily despite ongoing peace efforts, led by the United States. Ukrainian officials say their unwillingness to dial back their offensive reflects their lack of sincere interest in peace.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov downplayed Donald Trump’s prediction that there is a 25% chance the upcoming Alaska summit with President Vladimir Putin could fail. Speaking ahead of the high-stakes talks, Lavrov said Russia would not engage in forecasting outcomes, emphasizing that Moscow has “arguments and a clear, definite position” ready for the meeting.
He credited U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s close associate, with laying much of the groundwork for the discussions and expressed hope that negotiations would continue into the next day. The Anchorage talks, already under global scrutiny, come at a time of tense U.S.-Russia relations and ongoing war in Ukraine. While Trump has framed the meeting as a potential breakthrough, Lavrov’s remarks signal confidence in Russia’s approach and suggest Moscow is prepared to stand firm. The world now watches to see if the dialogue will ease tensions or widen the divide.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.

Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has come under fire after reportedly misinterpreting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ceasefire terms, according to German outlet BILD. Sources say Putin demanded full control of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson while offering only a limited halt to attacks on energy sites and major cities—not a full ceasefire. Witkoff allegedly believed Putin was proposing a withdrawal from Ukrainian territories, a misunderstanding that baffled both European partners and members of Trump’s own team.
High-level calls between U.S. and European officials exposed confusion, internal disagreements, and a lack of unified strategy. With Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin looming on August 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed that Ukraine will never surrender its land. The revelations raise concerns about U.S. negotiation credibility, European involvement, and the risks of misreading Moscow’s intentions in the ongoing war.
