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?

‘Absolutely Possible’: U.S Considering Zelensky Invite To Alaska For Trump–Putin Talks | Reports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urgently rallying European leaders ahead of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Zelensky warned of “the danger of Russia’s plan” to force Ukraine into discussing the “impossible” — territorial exchanges that would favor Moscow’s future war ambitions. While Trump is expected to sit down with Putin soon, Zelensky is pushing for maximum coordination with the UK, US, EU, and other allies to secure a “truly lasting peace” and avoid any deal that simply reconfigures the conflict. He also emphasized Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership, warning that Russia has not shifted its stance on ending the war and continues to fuel the fighting. #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #Alaska #Summit #Ukraine #Russia #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #August15 #NBCNews #WhiteHouse #GlobalTensions #USRussia #USUkraine #PoliticalDrama #HighStakes #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~

Lula BLASTS Trump, Rejects “Humiliation” Of Tariff Talks As U.S Slaps 50% Duties On Brazil Goods

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response. Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only. #Lula #Trump #Brazil #TradeWar #Tariffs #WTO #BRICS #USBrazilRelations #Sovereignty #Diplomacy #NoHumiliation #50PercentTariff #ReutersInterview #EconomicSovereignty #TradeDiplomacy #GlobalTrade #LatinAmerica #StrategicMinerals #RespectInDiplomacy #TradeCrisis ~HT.318~ED.346~

Lula Accuses U.S Of Staging ‘Brazil Coup’ | SLAMS Trump’s 50% Tariff Threat As Economic Blackmail

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has delivered a fiery rebuke to the United States, accusing Washington of aiding a coup in Brazil and using economic threats as political weapons. Speaking at a Workers’ Party event in Brasília, Lula condemned the 50% tariff threat from President Donald Trump as “economic blackmail,” and vowed that Brazil would not bow to “unequal treatment.” Without specifying the incident, Lula recalled a past U.S.-backed coup, possibly referring to 1964 or the 2016 impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. The warning comes as tensions escalate over BRICS’ growing influence and its call to reduce dollar dependence. Lula emphasized that Brazil, no longer reliant on the U.S., is ready to negotiate but only as equals. The 50% tariff would be the highest imposed on any country, signaling a major rift in U.S.-Brazil relations. Lula’s defiance now sets the stage for a global showdown over sovereignty and trade. #Lula #Brazil #Trump #Tariffs #USBrazilRelations #CoupClaims #EconomicBlackmail #BRICS #DollarDominance #TradeWar #Bolsonaro #Sovereignty #Sanctions #AlexandreDeMoraes #Geopolitics #Multilateralism #TradeCrisis #GlobalSouth #BrazilPolitics #USImperialism ~HT.408~

Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies. The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment. #RussiaGermany #RussiaIran #RussiaNorthKorea #Putin #Lavrov #GermanyWithdrawal #MilitaryPact #BRICS2025 #UkraineWar #NATO #RussiaSanctions #RussiaChina #KimJongUn #IranNuclear #Geopolitics #GlobalTensions #AxisOfSanctions #RussiaIsolation #MoscowNews #RussiaBreaking ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~
