In August, Russia gained 477 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, its largest monthly increase since October 2022.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces made substantial gains in early August with a surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, gaining over 1,100 square kilometers.
Despite recent Ukrainian counterattacks, Russia controls 66,266 square kilometers of Ukraine as of September 1, including Crimea and pre-invasion separatist-held areas, covering 18% of Ukraine’s 2013 size.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the show of unity between China, Russia, and India at the SCO Summit, declaring that India and Russia appear “lost to deepest, darkest China.” His remarks come after Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi as chief guests at an event marking 80 years since WWII. India hit back after Trump’s adviser Peter Navarro accused “Brahmins” of profiteering from Russian oil, calling the claims “inaccurate and misleading.” Growing tariffs and tensions now strain U.S.-India relations further.

In a surprising diplomatic move after the SCO Summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin announces visa-free travel for Chinese citizens, calling it a “token of friendship.” The decision is expected to significantly boost tourism, strengthen business ties, and deepen Russia-China relations. Putin also promises to reciprocate the gesture, signaling closer cooperation between the two nations despite global tensions and sanctions.

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

Trump reportedly shoved a map of Ukraine across the table toward President Zelensky, demanding territorial concessions to fast-track a peace deal with Russia. Sources say the map outlined regions Trump believes Ukraine should give up, including Crimea and parts of the Donbas. The move stunned EU leaders in the room and visibly angered Zelensky, escalating tensions during what was already a high-stakes summit on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war.

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.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

Donald Trump stunned Kyiv by declaring Ukraine must concede on Crimea and abandon NATO ambitions to achieve peace with Russia. Calling NATO entry for Ukraine a “non-starter,” Trump said Moscow would never accept Western forces on its border. He insisted Crimea was permanently lost and hinted land swaps could be part of a settlement, though not Crimea’s return. Zelensky, bound by Ukraine’s constitution, rejected territorial concessions but admitted land swaps were discussed as Russia presses demands for NATO renunciation.
