Ukraine's Massive Land Grab: Zelensky's 74 Settlements vs Putin's 28| Is Russia Hiding True Numbers?
A major dispute has erupted between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin over the true extent of Ukraine's advance into Russia's Kursk region.
While Zelensky claims that Ukrainian forces have taken control of 74 settlements, Putin downplays the situation, asserting only 28 have been captured.
What is the reality behind these conflicting claims?
Join us as we uncover the truth and analyze the implications of this high-stakes battle of narratives.
US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

President Donald Trump slammed Vladimir Putin following one of the deadliest Russian attacks on Ukraine in weeks. In a fiery statement, Trump accused Putin of wanting to "keep killing" after missiles and drones rained down on Kyiv, damaging homes across the city. After a tense, unproductive call with Putin, Trump hinted at fresh sanctions against Russia, warning that “he understands what’s coming.” The massive strikes on 13 sites sparked global outrage as diplomacy between the U.S. and Russia faltered again.

In a powerful display of Russian resolve, President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Moscow’s strategic objectives during a one-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump. Despite Trump expressing disappointment over the lack of progress on a peace deal, the Kremlin stood its ground, making clear that Russia’s military and political goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow seeks peace—but only on its own terms.
He added that Russia is paying close attention to Trump’s statements but is prioritizing long-term national interests. The call also covered cooperation in energy and space sectors, as well as Middle East stability. Putin reiterated that Russia would not compromise on neutralizing the threats that triggered the special military operation. The Kremlin described the conversation as “concrete and businesslike,” signaling that Moscow will continue to engage diplomatically, but without sacrificing its core objectives. Russia remains open to talks—but not surrender.

Trump has stunned observers by privately telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants to help Ukraine, despite recently pushing for the U.S. to freeze critical weapons deliveries. The contradictory moves have fueled speculation that Trump is leveraging military aid to gain influence over both Kyiv and Moscow ahead of the U.S. election. While Trump publicly blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, sources say he has quietly assured the Ukrainian leader of potential support if certain “conditions” are met.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putin’s helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path. Russia says over 1,170 drones were destroyed between May 20–22. Officials are now probing whether the strike was an attempted assassination or a psychological operation by Ukraine. No injuries or damages were reported, and Putin’s convoy continued as planned.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.
