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.

Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a Ukrainian drone slammed into a civilian vehicle in the heart of Belgorod, Russia, unleashing a fiery blast that left three people wounded. Among the victims, one man is reported to be in serious condition. The attack occurred in broad daylight at a busy city intersection, sending pedestrians and drivers scrambling for safety.
Local authorities say the strike was part of escalating cross-border drone assaults targeting Russia’s Belgorod region in recent months. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor, confirmed the injuries and released the harrowing footage, which quickly went viral. The dramatic clip shows the drone swooping down before detonating on impact, obliterating the vehicle in an instant. Officials have condemned the attack as an act of terrorism against civilians, while Kyiv has yet to comment. The strike underscores the growing reach of Ukrainian drone operations deep into Russian territory.

Donald Trump erupted in a fiery tirade at the White House, blasting Democrats as “frauds” and accusing them of loving “crime” while pledging to end mail-in voting once and for all. The outburst came just moments before his highly anticipated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, adding an unexpected political twist to a summit already overshadowed by Russia’s escalating war in Ukraine. Trump used the platform to hammer his signature grievances—election integrity, voter fraud, and Democratic corruption—while Zelensky stood by, watching the former president’s domestic battles collide with international diplomacy. The press room buzzed as Trump declared, “We will stop mail-in voting,” promising sweeping changes if he secures another term. His remarks set the stage for a meeting that was supposed to focus on Ukraine’s survival but instead turned into a showcase of Trump’s trademark combativeness. The clash of politics and war made for an extraordinary spectacle.

In a shocking moment at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin in front of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, leaving the Ukrainian president speechless. Trump insisted that the focus should be on a “deal, not a ceasefire,” sparking global outrage and raising fears about Western unity in the war. He refused to directly condemn Russia’s invasion, even hinting at U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine’s future and suggesting that American troop deployment could be on the table, pending discussions with European allies. Trump also revealed that Putin is “waiting for his call” after the meeting — a statement that set off alarms in Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington. The tense encounter underscored growing fractures between Western allies over how to end the conflict, and left Zelensky visibly cornered in the most high-stakes meeting of his political career.
