US President Donald Trump welcomes his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to Alaska on Friday for talks aiming to bring about a ceasefire and ultimately an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Noticeably absent from the meeting in Anchorage is Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, Europe’s leaders have expressed cautious optimism about the prospect of a truce.

Ukraine is facing its worst manpower crisis since the start of the war with Russia, with The Telegraph reporting that at least 650,000 fighting-age men have fled the country since 2022. Many others are hiding within Ukraine or bribing officials to avoid conscription. The draft evasion problem is spiraling as Russian forces push forward in Donetsk, with military analysts warning of severe infantry shortages and failing drone operations.
Reports suggest desertions have surged to nearly 400,000, while disturbing videos show Ukrainian draft officers violently detaining men in what locals call “busification.” Even support roles like mechanics and radar operators are being reassigned to frontline combat. Thousands have attempted dangerous border escapes, some ending in fatalities. Ukrainian commanders warn the situation is becoming unsustainable, threatening the country’s ability to continue the fight.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov downplayed Donald Trump’s prediction that there is a 25% chance the upcoming Alaska summit with President Vladimir Putin could fail. Speaking ahead of the high-stakes talks, Lavrov said Russia would not engage in forecasting outcomes, emphasizing that Moscow has “arguments and a clear, definite position” ready for the meeting.
He credited U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s close associate, with laying much of the groundwork for the discussions and expressed hope that negotiations would continue into the next day. The Anchorage talks, already under global scrutiny, come at a time of tense U.S.-Russia relations and ongoing war in Ukraine. While Trump has framed the meeting as a potential breakthrough, Lavrov’s remarks signal confidence in Russia’s approach and suggest Moscow is prepared to stand firm. The world now watches to see if the dialogue will ease tensions or widen the divide.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is scheduled to visit Moscow later this month for the 26th India-Russia Commission, where he will meet with his.. IndiaTimes
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.

Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that “the whole of Ukraine is ours” while mocking Kyiv’s military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraine’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy “stupidity,” he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.
