Watch Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov deliver an unfiltered, live response to Western efforts aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine. In this fiery address, Lavrov accuses the European Union and the United States of prolonging the war rather than seeking peace, asserting that their continued arms supplies to Kyiv under the guise of humanitarian or security assistance are fueling the conflict. He also strongly criticizes recent ceasefire talks—suggesting they lack sincerity and are little more than a “sham”—and condemns security discussions that exclude Moscow as a “road to nowhere,” arguing that excluding Russia makes meaningful peace negotiations impossible

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has shocked Kyiv and EU leaders by declaring that Slovakia will not support sending U.S. weapons to Ukraine at the EU’s expense and firmly opposes Ukraine’s accession to NATO. While Fico reaffirmed support for Ukraine joining the European Union, he criticized current Western strategies, called for peace talks involving Russia, and warned against what he described as a dangerous arms-funding model.

During an Oval Office meeting on August 18, 2025, Donald Trump displayed a Ukraine war map highlighting territories under Russian control — a move Russia’s Foreign Ministry called a “strong slap” for President Zelensky. The map served as a public reminder of Ukraine’s battlefield losses, undermining Zelensky’s narrative of strength before European allies. For Russia, the display was hailed as a diplomatic win, reinforcing Putin’s territorial claims. For Europe, it raised fears that U.S. priorities are shifting toward Moscow, pressuring Kyiv toward concessions.

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.

Donald Trump has received a formal invitation from Vladimir Putin to visit Russia, confirmed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after their Alaska summit. Putin personally extended the invite, calling the talks “frank” and “substantive,” while Trump admitted he could “get heat” for accepting. The summit focused on Ukraine and U.S.-Russia relations, followed by Trump’s separate meetings with Zelensky, NATO, and EU leaders. Trump now plans to mediate direct peace talks, including a possible trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the “invincible brotherhood” between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraine’s invasion of the Kursk region in 2024.
Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean People’s Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called “Ukrainian Nazis.” With Kyiv’s offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrov’s visit signals Russia’s growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering.

Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in Moscow just hours after being sacked by President Vladimir Putin. Authorities say the 51-year-old died of a gunshot wound in his car, with suicide suspected. Starovoit’s abrupt dismissal follows mounting pressure over corruption probes and border failures in Kursk during his earlier governorship. Kremlin critics question whether political purging played a role. His death adds to the growing list of mysterious ends among Putin’s inner circle.

Russian forces have suffered a major blow as Ukraine claims it killed Admiral Mikhail Gudkov, a top Russian naval commander, in a precision missile strike on the Kursk region. Ukrainian officials say the attack targeted a military command post, resulting in heavy casualties among senior officers. The Kremlin has not yet confirmed Gudkov’s death, but pro-Russian channels acknowledge significant losses

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.
