No longer isolated, Russia sees opportunity as Putin and Trump meet in Alaska
Friday, 15 August 2025 () Vladimir Putin was once an international pariah because of Russia's war in Ukraine, but now he's secured a meeting with President Trump to negotiate an end to the conflict. The Kremlin is portraying it as an opportunity for economic cooperation with the U.S.
Vladimir Putin is set to become the first Russian president to visit Alaska, more than 150 years after Moscow sold the territory to the United States for $7.2 million. The visit is planned to coincide with a high-stakes summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, marking Putin’s eighth trip to America...
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.

Just hours before President Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, NPR discovered sensitive State Department documents left at a public hotel printer in Anchorage. The leaked papers included phone numbers, a seating chart, a pronunciation guide for Putin’s name, the official gift list, and the full dinner menu. While the White House dismissed it as “just a lunch menu,” critics blasted the slip as another embarrassing security lapse. Lawmakers warn the incident highlights troubling gaps in protocol ahead of critical international talks.

Rumors about Vladimir Putin's declining health have been around for years ... and there might be some truth to the speculation if you caught the subtle clues.. TMZ.com
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.

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.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

The Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has ended, but the aftershocks are only beginning. From secret side talks to awkward body language and stunning geopolitical twists, Trump’s post-summit remarks have raised more questions than answers. While Putin appeared to control the narrative, Trump’s revelations — some baffling, some explosive — left U.S. allies anxious and Ukraine deeply unsettled. Was Trump outplayed, or is there a bigger game in motion?

European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump. The meeting comes as Trump pushes Zelensky toward a quick peace deal involving territorial concessions to Russia—something strongly opposed by EU allies. Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte, Alexander Stubb, Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Giorgia Meloni are all expected to attend. The talks will focus on security guarantees, future military aid, and Ukraine’s borders—underscoring deep transatlantic divisions over Trump’s push for compromise with Putin.

Five people killed as Russia continues to pummel Ukrainian cities
Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities firing hundreds of missiles and projectiles daily despite ongoing peace efforts, led by the United States. Ukrainian officials say their unwillingness to dial back their offensive reflects their lack of sincere interest in 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.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly not been invited to the upcoming Trump–Putin peace summit in Alaska on August 15, raising concerns of a diplomatic sidelining. White House sources say the meeting will focus on U.S.–Russia dialogue at Moscow’s request. While Trump has floated territorial swaps as a path to peace, Zelensky rejects the idea, citing constitutional limits. The Kremlin insists talks must address Crimea and four regions annexed in 2022, while Ukraine refuses any concessions, leaving negotiations at an impasse.

In a stunning shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness for peace talks with Russia, saying “it’s time to end the war.” His call for a “dignified peace” comes amid a confirmed Trump-Putin summit soon and ongoing Russian strikes. Zelensky proposed bilateral or trilateral summits and urged Moscow to match Ukraine’s courage. The Kremlin, however, questions Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing expired terms and lack of elections. With Putin-Trump talks expected soon, the path to peace now faces high-stakes political hurdles.

Putin has lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump over his threat to impose higher tariffs on India if it continues buying Russian oil. The Kremlin condemned the move as “illegal” and an attack on national sovereignty, warning Washington against pressuring its allies. Putin emphasized that India has the right to choose its trade partners, while New Delhi dismissed Trump’s warnings as “unjustified” and accused the West of hypocrisy for continuing its own trade with Russia.

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory.
