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

Newsom DARES Trump over redrawing Congressional Maps | Warns of National Re-districting ‘Arms’ Race

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains. He accused Trump of undermining democracy and urged him to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the plan. Critics warn Newsom’s retaliation could erode Democrats’ moral stance on fair redistricting. #Newsom #Trump #NewsomVsTrump #Redistricting #TexasPolitics #CaliforniaPolitics #GavinNewsom #GregAbbott #GOP #Democrats #PoliticalMaps #PartisanPolitics #Election2026 #CongressionalMaps #PoliticalBattle #VotingRights #MapWar #PoliticalFeud #USPolitics #BreakingNews #MapRedraw #Democracy #ElectoralBattle #PartisanRedistricting #TexasNews #CaliforniaNews #TrumpVsNewsom #FairMaps #PoliticalDrama #ElectionStrategy #RedStateVsBlueState Also Read President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?

“Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” Trump ATTACKS Jasmine Crockett With ‘Cognitive Test’ Dare After Fiery Insult

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.” He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines. The feud comes as Texas Republicans push to redraw congressional districts in their favor. #DonaldTrump #JasmineCrockett #TrumpVsCrockett #PoliticalFeud #CognitiveTest #TrumpRant #TruthSocial #USPolitics #TexasPolitics #MAGA #TrumpNews #Democrats #GOP #PoliticalClash #Trump2024 #HouseDemocrats #PoliticalInsults #Biden #Congress #BreakingNews ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain. #Senate2026 #Trump #USPolitics #CongressBattle #Midterms #GOP #Democrats #TrumpAgenda #RedVsBlue #SenateMajority #KeyRaces #ElectionWatch #PoliticalPower #DividedGOP #DemocratStrategy #USMidterms #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAllies #SenateControl #FlipTheSenate #CampaignTrail #BipartisanBattle #VoterPower #Election2026 #TrumpVsGOP #Harris2026 #SouthernVotes #MidwestPolitics #GOPStrategy #DemocratsPushBack ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.194~

474 Arrested In UK’s Biggest Anti-Netanyahu Protest As Terrorism Law Sparks Palestine Action Outrage

In one of the largest police operations in over a decade, 474 people were arrested in central London during a mass protest against the UK’s ban on Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police confirmed 466 arrests for “showing support” for the proscribed group, plus eight others for offences including assaulting officers. The protest, organised by Defend Our Juries, saw hundreds holding signs opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action. Critics, including Amnesty International, slammed the arrests as “deeply concerning” and a threat to free speech, saying the demonstrators were peaceful. The government defended the ban, calling Palestine Action a non-peaceful group, while announcing £8.5m in additional aid to Gaza. The crackdown follows the June proscription of the group after activists vandalised RAF aircraft in protest over UK arms sales to Israel. #LondonProtest #PalestineAction #MassArrests #TerrorismLaw #FreeSpeech #CivilLiberties #HumanRights #UKPolitics #MetPolice #Whitehall #ParliamentSquare #AmnestyInternational #ProtestRights #MiddleEast #Gaza #Israel #UKNews #PoliceCrackdown #Democracy #BreakingNews
