A geopolitical showdown is brewing over the venue for the proposed Trump–Putin–Zelensky trilateral talks.

A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

As Donald Trump pushes for a three-way peace meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for Europe to be included. Macron argues that security guarantees for Ukraine also affect the entire continent. While Trump seems unlikely to welcome the idea soon, the debate highlights the high stakes for not only Ukraine but also Europe’s security. The talks could shape the trajectory of the war and the balance of power across the region.

Trump’s latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelensky’s urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron—leaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trump’s rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putin’s stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

A massive Russian onslaught of missiles, bombs, and drones has left over 600 Ukrainian troops dead, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The devastating coordinated strike also destroyed dozens of armored vehicles, leaving behind scenes of fire and wreckage captured on drone cameras. The attack marks one of the deadliest single operations in recent months, sending shockwaves through Kyiv’s battlefield morale. Drone footage shows scorched earth and flattened positions, underscoring Moscow’s intensifying campaign. Meanwhile, a dramatic political twist is unfolding—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness to engage in direct peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sources suggest Ukraine may even consider concessions on territories under Russian control, sparking debate over whether Kyiv is preparing for a painful compromise. With battlefield devastation and diplomatic maneuvers happening simultaneously, the war seems to be entering a dangerous new phase.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Moscow continues scientific cooperation with Western experts despite heavy sanctions and political isolation. Speaking in Sarov, Russia’s nuclear hub, Putin insisted that science, like art and sports, cannot be destroyed by politics. He revealed that joint projects persist in nuclear, space, and medical research, even with some NATO states, while new ventures in nuclear medicine are emerging. According to Putin, Russia lost Finland as a partner but continues work with France, Germany, and Hungary through Rosatom. He stressed that Russia still supplies nuclear fuel and services to “unfriendly” countries, hinting that departing partners may eventually return. Putin also warned the West that restricting academic and scientific ties will inflict long-term damage. Despite sanctions, Russia and the U.S. recently extended collaboration on the International Space Station and discussed future lunar and deep-space missions.

Vladimir Putin’s fiery speech in Sarov has sent shockwaves through Washington and the West. While calling Trump a “light at the end of the tunnel,” Putin slammed US elites and showcased Russia’s nuclear edge in the Arctic. Trump, jittery at the Alaska Summit, appeared uncertain on Ukraine, even as Zelensky pushed back hard. With Russia flaunting its unmatched nuclear icebreaker fleet and quantum leaps in military technology, are we watching the dawn of a new Cold War — or World War 3?

President Donald Trump expressed strong anger after Ukraine struck the Druzhba oil pipeline supplying Russian crude to Hungary. In a handwritten note leaked by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, Trump told Orbán he was “very angry” over the attack, which came just before his historic meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Orbán accused Kyiv of deliberately targeting Hungary’s energy lifeline, further straining relations between Ukraine and Budapest.

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia.
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year.
