On the eve of his Washington meeting with Donald Trump and European leaders, Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia for “demonstrative and cynical” strikes across Ukraine. Deadly attacks in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Odesa killed civilians, including a toddler, and destroyed homes and energy facilities. Zelensky accused Vladimir Putin of deliberately escalating to sabotage peace efforts and pressure Ukraine. Calling for strong, NATO-style security guarantees, Zelensky urged world leaders not to reward Moscow’s aggression but to deliver “true security and dignified peace.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left Downing Street after a high-profile meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, just hours before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska for critical talks on ending the Ukraine war. The meeting between Starmer and Zelensky was a public show of unity, with both leaders refusing to comment on whether Trump could deliver a fair ceasefire.
The Kremlin confirmed the Alaska summit will feature a one-on-one session followed by delegation talks, with a joint press conference to follow. Meanwhile, tensions escalate on the ground: Russia claims Ukraine launched dozens of drones at Volgograd and Belgorod overnight, while Ukraine reports deadly Russian strikes on Kharkiv. Former MI6 chief Alex Younger warns there is no sign Putin has softened his aims. The world’s attention now turns to Alaska, where the outcome could reshape the future of Europe’s bloodiest conflict in decades.

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety.

The U.S. has shut its closest allies out of Ukraine peace intelligence in a stunning break with the Five Eyes alliance. A July 20 directive from DNI Tulsi Gabbard classified all Russia–Ukraine negotiation files as NOFORN—blocking access for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Reports first surfaced via CBS News, sparking outrage across NATO capitals. Critics say Trump’s “America First” strategy risks fracturing the alliance, weakening Kyiv, and handing Moscow leverage, with allies warning of possible retaliation.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russia’s foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscow’s actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement.

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

Donald Trump took a dig at his former National Security Advisor John Bolton calling him a 'lowlife'. When asked about the FBI raids at Bolton's house Trump deflected the question saying he didn't know much about it.
The FBI raided Bolton's house as part of a classified documents investigation. Ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, the raid comes days after Bolton publicly criticized Trump’s foreign policy, fueling speculation of political payback. Bolton slammed Trump’s India policy, calling tariffs against New Delhi a damaging mistake. Bolton has also criticised Trump’s conduct during his meeting with President Putin in Alaska, opining that Putin clearly won the Alaska summit while Trump left without a peace deal or ceasefire.

Russian media released footage showing troops storming Ukrainian positions in Zaporizhzhia using a captured U.S.-made M113 armored vehicle flying both Russian and American flags. Kyiv slammed the move as a propaganda stunt designed to mock U.S. support and undermine Western unity. The video emerged just after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, which Moscow hailed as ending its isolation. Ukraine’s presidential office called the footage “the height of insolence,” warning it was part of Russia’s campaign to sabotage alliances and spread disinformation.
