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.

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.

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety.

Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has come under fire after reportedly misinterpreting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ceasefire terms, according to German outlet BILD. Sources say Putin demanded full control of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson while offering only a limited halt to attacks on energy sites and major cities—not a full ceasefire. Witkoff allegedly believed Putin was proposing a withdrawal from Ukrainian territories, a misunderstanding that baffled both European partners and members of Trump’s own team.
High-level calls between U.S. and European officials exposed confusion, internal disagreements, and a lack of unified strategy. With Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin looming on August 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed that Ukraine will never surrender its land. The revelations raise concerns about U.S. negotiation credibility, European involvement, and the risks of misreading Moscow’s intentions in the ongoing war.

In a high-stakes geopolitical maneuver, Ukraine, the U.S., and key European allies are set to meet in the U.K. ahead of Donald Trump’s planned summit with Vladimir Putin, Axios reports. The urgent talks aim to align positions before Trump attempts to broker a controversial peace deal to end the Ukraine war. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Putin in Moscow, with conflicting reports emerging on possible territorial concessions — ranging from ceding Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea, to freezing the conflict along current frontlines.
Some leaders believe Putin may even relinquish Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Trump has hinted at “territory swapping,” raising fears in Kyiv over sovereignty. Zelensky insists any territorial changes must comply with Ukrainian law, potentially requiring a referendum. With secrecy, conflicting proposals, and high tensions, the U.K. talks could shape the war’s endgame — or ignite new disputes.
