Crimea Strike: Ukraine says Russian Black Sea Fleet commander among 34 killed | Oneindia News
Ukraine’s special forces said that the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, and 33 other officers were killed in a Ukrainian missile attack on the fleet’s headquarters in the Crimean port of Sevastopol last week.
The killing, if true, is a major blow for Moscow which has faced several attacks on the strategically significant port of Sevastopol in recent months.
All eyes are on Washington as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives at the White House for a dramatic summit with Donald Trump and European leaders. This moment goes beyond politics—Zelensky’s wardrobe itself has become a message to the world. Days ago, an American journalist mocked whether he even owned a suit, sparking laughter from Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. Now, the Ukrainian leader’s choice could define the future of the war. A formal suit may symbolize readiness to accept Trump’s controversial peace plan—ceding Crimea and parts of Donbas to Russia. His trademark olive-green attire, however, would signal fierce defiance, a vow that Ukraine will never surrender its land. With tensions between Washington, Kyiv, and Europe already at breaking point, even a simple outfit has turned into a diplomatic weapon. Will Zelensky bow to pressure—or double down on resistance? The answer could reshape alliances and the global balance of power.

Volodymyr Zelensky is back in D.C. at the White House ... and this time, he decided to wear a business-like suit instead of his usual military garb. The.. TMZ.com
The world held its breath as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered his opening statement live from the White House, marking the most dramatic moment of his U.S. visit. Standing alongside Donald Trump and surrounded by Europe’s top leaders, Zelensky’s words carried the weight of a nation at war. With Russian bombs raining down in Donetsk and peace talks hanging by a thread, his address was more than just diplomatic—it was a direct plea for survival, sovereignty, and solidarity. The Ukrainian leader framed the war as a global battle for freedom, warning that concessions to Moscow would only embolden aggression. As Trump hinted at compromises with Putin and European leaders pressed for unity, Zelensky’s statement set the tone for one of the most consequential summits in years. The silence that followed in the White House was not just respect—it was recognition of history being written.

Zelensky defied President Trump’s diktat to “wear a suit” for their White House meeting. Instead, he arrived in his trademark military-style jacket—sparking mockery among U.S. residents and igniting a social media storm. While critics called it inappropriate for the Oval Office, supporters argue it was a symbol of defiance and resilience. The fashion clash has now become a new flashpoint in U.S.-Ukraine diplomacy.

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.”

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Trump used India as a Pawn to pressure Putin into a Summit. Vlada however clears that the sanctions on India were nothing personal against India and only a pressure-tactic against Putin, which played a role to some extent to get the Alaska meeting in place.

During the live coverage of the historic Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russia’s economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned India’s obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for India’s deep-rooted closeness with Russia.

Dr. Umit express hope that there will be a second meeting soon referring to Putin’s comments that he is ready to meet Zelensky if the conditions are right. Political Commentator Cliston Brown reiterates the meeting will not yield anything, and even as there are meetings after meetings, the war continues and that is what Putin wants.

With Trump pushing for a deal to end the war, Zelensky’s defiant stance — “Crimea is ours” — has set the stage for a dramatic clash that could reshape U.S.-Ukraine relations and rattle allies watching from Europe.

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia. The ultimatum comes just days after Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, which he admitted brought “little progress” toward ending the war. With Zelensky under mounting pressure and European allies resisting Trump’s terms, Washington is bracing for a high-stakes clash that could reshape the future of the Ukraine war.

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.

A dramatic day unfolds in Washington as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte arrive at the White House ahead of a joint meeting with Donald Trump. The gathering, centered on Ukraine’s uncertain future, comes amid fierce Russian escalation on the battlefield and growing divisions in the West over strategy. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky already under pressure, European leaders are racing to project unity as Trump signals he will demand concessions to Moscow. The stakes are immense: the fate of Ukrainian territory, the credibility of NATO, and the balance of power in Europe hang in the balance. The arrival of these leaders sets the stage for a tense diplomatic showdown, one that could reshape the trajectory of the war — and the future of Western resolve against Russia.

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.
