Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed the possibility of a US-brokered peace deal by announcing sweeping economic plans to rebuild Donbass and other newly integrated territories. In a bold move, Putin accused Kiev of decades of neglect, stating these regions were "abandoned" before Moscow’s intervention.
Now under Russian control, he pledged a full-scale economic reboot to “unlock their full potential” and ensure locals see “real improvement.” This strategic pivot not only bolsters Russia’s hold on the contested areas but also signals defiance to Western diplomacy, especially amid growing international pressure. The timing — as Western leaders push for de-escalation — reveals Moscow’s determination to consolidate gains through infrastructure, development, and economic integration.

Melania Trump is threatening a $1 billion lawsuit against Hunter Biden over claims linking her to Jeffrey Epstein, which she calls false and defamatory. Biden allegedly stated Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump, remarks her lawyer Alejandro Brito says caused severe global reputational harm. Brito accuses Biden of relying on discredited Michael Wolff reports previously retracted by The Daily Beast. After missing an August 7 deadline for retraction and apology, Biden has been ordered to preserve all related records ahead of possible legal action.

In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September.
The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington.
Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West.
With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting. Will India hold its neutral stance — or step further into the geopolitical crossfire?

Ukraine has launched one of its deepest and most daring drone strikes yet, hitting the Lukoil-Ukhta oil refinery in Russia’s Komi Republic — over 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This unprecedented attack signals a major escalation in Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, directly targeting Russia’s critical infrastructure far from the front lines.
Meanwhile, Europe and Ukraine have firmly rejected Vladimir Putin’s proposed ceasefire, instead presenting a joint counterproposal to the United States ahead of a potential Trump-Putin meeting, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This video breaks down Ukraine's latest offensive moves, the global response to Putin’s proposal, and what this means for the future of the war.
