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~

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.

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

Trump Wastes Millions To Welcome Putin But Nobel Prize Mission Fails | Trump’s Nobel Ambition Looms?

On August 15, 2025, Donald Trump staged a dramatic red-carpet welcome for Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, hoping to cement his legacy as a global peacemaker. The high-stakes summit, costing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars, ended without a ceasefire or territorial agreement, dashing Trump’s hopes of securing the Nobel Peace Prize. While Trump hailed “great progress,” critics slammed the event as a costly photo-op that boosted Putin’s global image without concessions. The Nobel ambition looms large—Trump himself admitted only Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky can decide the outcome. But Zelensky, absent from the talks, branded the summit a “failure,” warning peace must not come at Ukraine’s expense. For now, Trump’s Nobel dreams hang by a thread, dependent entirely on Zelensky’s approval of any deal. #TrumpPutinSummit #AlaskaSummit #TrumpNews #PutinNews #Zelensky #UkraineWar #TrumpNobel #PeacePrize #TrumpPutin #AnchorageSummit #USRussia #Geopolitics #TrumpUkraine #BidenVsTrump #WorldNews #UkraineCrisis #Trump2025 #PutinMeeting #DiplomacyFail #NobelPeacePrize ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Russia SLAMS Trump For His ‘BLEAK’ Prediction On Alaska Summit | Trump-Putin Summit

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov downplayed Donald Trump’s prediction that there is a 25% chance the upcoming Alaska summit with President Vladimir Putin could fail. Speaking ahead of the high-stakes talks, Lavrov said Russia would not engage in forecasting outcomes, emphasizing that Moscow has “arguments and a clear, definite position” ready for the meeting. He credited U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s close associate, with laying much of the groundwork for the discussions and expressed hope that negotiations would continue into the next day. The Anchorage talks, already under global scrutiny, come at a time of tense U.S.-Russia relations and ongoing war in Ukraine. While Trump has framed the meeting as a potential breakthrough, Lavrov’s remarks signal confidence in Russia’s approach and suggest Moscow is prepared to stand firm. The world now watches to see if the dialogue will ease tensions or widen the divide. #Lavrov #TrumpPutin #AlaskaSummit #RussiaUS #AnchorageTalks #PutinTrumpMeeting #USPolitics #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #USRussiaRelations #SergeyLavrov #SteveWitkoff #Negotiations #AnchorageSummit #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Why Putin Wanted Alaska For the US, Russia Summit?
