On eve of Trump–Putin Summit, Russians share hopes — and doubts — for Peace
Thursday, 14 August 2025 () Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Donald Trump's "energetic and sincere" efforts to end the war in Ukraine. But on the streets of Moscow while many hope for an end to the war, they disagree on how to get there.
Russian forces are pushing deeper into eastern Ukraine, advancing toward key cities including Dobropillia and Pokrovsk. Fierce clashes have erupted along the frontline, with Ukrainian troops deploying reserves to contain rapid Russian infiltrations. The intensified offensive comes just days before...
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

Russia accuses Ukraine of chemical warfare after claiming to uncover drone bombs containing chloropicrin, a banned toxic agent, in Donetsk. Russian authorities say the devices, intended for UAV deployment, were found in a Ukrainian weapons cache and filed WMD-related charges. If verified, this would mark a dangerous escalation in the war. Ukraine has not responded to the allegation. Global watchdogs may now face pressure to investigate the use of banned chemical agents in the conflict.

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.

President Donald Trump claims nearly 275,000 illegal immigrants have been removed from the U.S. Social Security system following his signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Speaking to supporters, Trump touted the measure as both a senior citizen tax relief initiative and a step to protect benefits from what he called “fraudulent claims.” He linked the deportations to safeguarding Social Security funds for American retirees, framing the move as a major policy success and a warning to undocumented migrants.

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.
