What the change in the energy price cap means - and why it is going up
Wednesday, 27 August 2025 () The small increase in domestic energy bills announced today confirms that prices have stabilised since the ruinous spikes that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but remain 40% higher than before the war - around 20% in real terms - with little chance of falling in the medium-term.
Russia has launched its largest assault yet on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, targeting Zaporizke and Novoheorhiivka. Ukrainian forces confirm they still hold Zaporizke amid heavy attacks, while street-to-street fighting continues in Novoheorhiivka. Dozens of Russian soldiers have been killed, and claims of village captures remain disputed. Moscow aims to create a buffer zone, but Ukraine refuses to back down. Daily airstrikes and artillery make this central-eastern front deadly for both sides. Watch videos of destroyed armor, intense battles, and Ukrainian resistance.

President Donald Trump, frustrated with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, pledged he could end the conflict “within 24 hours.” Speaking to reporters, Trump leaned pro-Russia, threatening Ukraine with sanctions and tariffs if the war continued. He issued an ultimatum to both Kyiv and Moscow: “End the war or bleed economically,” while urging Ukraine to concede land to appease Vladimir Putin. Ukraine and European leaders firmly rejected the idea. Trump insists he prefers economic pressure over risking a world war, blaming Biden for fueling the conflict.

Donald Trump has issued his toughest warning yet to Russia, threatening an “economic war” if President Vladimir Putin refuses to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire. Speaking after his Alaska meeting with Putin, Trump said he will not allow a world war but promised devastating sanctions that could crippleRussia’s economy. He also shocked reporters by suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “not exactly innocent either.” With Ukraine talks collapsing, Trump’s remarks could reshape the fragile balance of war and diplomacy in Europe.
