Rubio SHOCKS Ukraine With ‘Land Concession’ Remark | Zelensky REJECTS Putin’s Donbas Demand

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. #UkraineWar #MarcoRubio #Zelensky #Putin #RussiaUkraine #Donbas #NoLandForInvaders #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #USPolitics #WashingtonDC #Kyiv #EuropeanUnion #Geopolitics #RubioRemarks #GlobalSecurity #StopTheWar #UkraineStrong #WorldNews #Diplomacy #RussiaSanctions #PeaceTalks #NATO #Biden #USForeignPolicy #WarUpdate #InternationalRelations #RussiaVsUkraine #ConflictResolution #ZelenskySpeech #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Says No Agreement On Ending Russia's War In Ukraine As Putin Says There Was An 'Understanding' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-no-agreement-on-ending-russia-war-ukraine-putin-7831387.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

Zelensky Brings EU Chief To White House After Last Disaster Meeting|Trump Prepares To Grill Zelensky

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. #Zelensky #Trump #UkraineWar #EUChief #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #KeirStarmer #Macron #Merz #MelaniaTrump #Putin #PeaceTalks #WhiteHouse #UkraineRussiaWar #Geopolitics #UkraineSupport #NoLandForPeace #Kyiv #USPolitics #EuropeUnity #RussiaUkraineConflict #WarNews #GlobalDiplomacy #TrumpMeeting #BreakingNews #NATOSupport #UkraineSolidarity #Kremlin #PeaceDeal #WorldPolitics #Starmer Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia “Lost An Oil Client” India After Washington Announced Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-tariffs-hit-india-as-trump-says-russia-has-lost-an-oil-client-7831511.html?ref=DMDesc Next Time In Moscow?: Russia President Putin Invites US Counterpart Trump To Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/next-time-in-moscow-russia-president-putin-invites-us-counterpart-trump-to-russia-7831399.html?ref=DMDesc

Ukraine's BIG Deafeat: Russia Launches Ballistic Missile HOURS After Trump-Putin Talks FAIL

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. #RussiaUkraineWar #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Ukraine #Russia #BallisticMissiles #DroneAttack #ShahedDrones #WarUpdate #UkraineWarNews #GlobalConflict #WorldNews #TrumpPutin #UkraineDefense #Europe #USPolitics #PeaceTalks #Ceasefire #UkraineUnderAttack #UkraineStrong #Geopolitics #RussiaStrike #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontline #UkraineCrisis #TrilateralTalks #UkraineWarUpdate #InternationalRelations #UkrainePeace Also Read Former Vice-Miss Russia Kseniya Alexandrova Dies In Tver Oblast Car Crash :: https://www.oneindia.com/entertainment/former-beauty-queen-kseniya-alexandrova-dies-in-car-accident-011-7832417.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Calls Alaska Talks With Trump ‘Very Frank,’ Says They Bring Us Closer to Key Decisions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-trump-meeting-ukraine-conflict-011-7831999.html?ref=DMDesc

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban [Video]

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory. #RussiaMissiles #MedvedevWarning #MissileMoratorium #INFwithdrawal #NATOvsRussia #DmitryMedvedev #GlobalTensions #RussiaNATOClash #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaArmsRace #PutinMoves #NewColdWar #NuclearThreats #RussiaShortRangeMissiles #RussianForeignPolicy #GeopoliticalCrisis #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #ExpectFurtherSteps #KremlinStatement Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc
