Zelensky Fails As Kremlin Rejects One-On-One Meeting With Putin | Trump’s Sanction Deadline Nears

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline. While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast. #ZelenskyPutin #UkraineRussia #Kremlin #Putin #Zelensky #TrumpSanctions #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #USRussia #UkraineCrisis #TrumpPutin #RussiaSanctions #KremlinStatement #DiplomaticDeadlock #BreakingNews #UkraineNews #EasternEurope #RussiaVsUkraine #Geopolitics #TrumpUltimatum ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Erdogan Backs Al-Sharaa’s Fight against Netanyahu | Syrian Civil War escalates | Turkey vs Israel

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict. #TurkeyInSyria #SyrianCivilWar #Erdogan #AlSharaa #IsraelVsTurkey #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #SyriaWarUpdate #TurkeyMilitarySupport #DruzeBedouinClashes #SyriaIsraelTensions #SweidaCrisis #DamascusAirstrikes #RegionalEscalation #BreakingNews #MiddleEastNews #SyriaCrisis #ErdoganVsNetanyahu #Geopolitics #UNAlert #TurkeySyriaAlliance #AnkaraStatement #IDFStrikes #ErdoganResponse #SyriaUnderFire #WarInSyria #TurkeyIsraelFaceOff Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Collapses In Sweida; Israel Responds With Strike On Syrian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-collapses-in-sweida-israel-responds-with-strike-on-syrian-army-7803123.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending. #SaudiSyriaDeal #MiddleEastShift #SyriaReconstruction #BreakingNews #IsraelBlow #AlSharaa #SaudiInvestment #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #DruzeCrisis #QatarSyriaDebt #MiddleEastUpdate #DamascusDeals #EnergyInvestment #SaudiDiplomacy #ArabUnity #RebuildSyria #SyriaEconomy #IsraelVsSyria #ConstructionBoom #NetanyahuSetback #HumanRightsCrisis #PostWarRecovery #WesternSanctions #SaudiSoftPower #GulfPolitics #SyriaNews #SectarianUnrest #JobCreation #SyriaFuture #RedrawingAlliances #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

Hundreds of Israeli cruise passengers aboard the Mano Maritime–operated Crown Iris found themselves unable to disembark at the Greek island of Syros after a pro-Hamas, pro–Palestinian protest blocked the port. Local demonstrators—estimated at around 150–200—raised Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and formed a human barrier, prompting Greek authorities and the cruise line to halt disembarkation out of concern for passenger safety. #IsraelisStranded #GreekPortProtest #ProPalestinianProtest #ManoMaritime #SyrosProtest #CruiseShipChaos #IsraelGreeceTension #PalestinianSolidarity #CrownIrisIncident #AntiIsraelProtest #TouristsTrapped #GreekIslandBlockade #IsraelTravelBan #SyrosDemonstration #MaritimeStandoff ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~
