Putin’s Scare in The U.S? Zelensky Left Empty-Handed as Pentagon Denies Ukraine’s Missile Request
In a stunning turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest plea for advanced missile systems was rejected by the Pentagon, leaving Kiev empty-handed in its bid to counter Russia's ongoing military offensive.
Despite Zelensky’s urgent request for long-range missiles to boost Ukraine's defenses, U.S. defense officials have opted to prioritize established international buyers over Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support strategy.
The denial comes as a major blow to Zelensky, who had banked on securing vital military aid to bolster his nation’s resistance against Russia.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has seized the moment to mock Zelensky’s failed attempt, casting doubt on Ukraine’s future prospects in the conflict and sending ripples across the geopolitical landscape.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday, i.e., August 29, emphasised that India has maintained a principled and humanitarian stance on the Russia-Ukraine.. DNA
The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a fiery statement after one of the largest Russian strikes on Kyiv, which killed at least 19 people, including four children. Nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles, among them ballistic, rained down on the capital, leaving devastation in their wake. Zelensky said the assault proves Russia has no intention of peace, accusing Vladimir Putin of striking not only Ukraine but also Europe, the U.S., and even President Trump. He warned that Putin is killing children rather than pursuing negotiations, breaking promises to leaders while escalating attacks. Calling for urgent global action, Zelensky urged for sanctions and tariffs against those financing Moscow’s war. “There are no deadlines Putin will not break,” he said, pressing the world to deliver a strong response to Russian aggression.

Vladimir Putin has unleashed a shocking strike on Kyiv, with reports claiming Russia directly hit an EU office in the heart of the city. The move, framed by Moscow as a warning to the West, comes as Putin openly mocks Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Europe’s leadership in one chilling message of defiance. Explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital as Russia’s latest attack targeted diplomatic and civilian zones, drawing swift condemnation from EU leaders.

US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended his fiery Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, calling the February confrontation “useful” for Americans to witness. The heated exchange erupted during Zelensky’s Washington visit to secure a deal over Ukraine’s mineral resources. When Donald Trump explained his decision to stay neutral and pursue diplomacy with Moscow instead of ramping up military aid, Zelensky accused him of speaking from the safety of “a nice ocean.” Vance shot back, calling the remark “disrespectful,” and Trump told Zelensky not to lecture Americans. Vance later argued that years of unchecked aid under Joe Biden lacked strategy and failed to advance peace. He said the episode exposed Washington’s frustrations and underlined Trump’s push for a settlement with Moscow. The clash has become a flashpoint in US-Ukraine relations, showing cracks in support for Kyiv as Trump courts a diplomatic end to the war.

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war.

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied.

Russia has flatly denied any agreement on an air ceasefire with Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declaring “no deals have been reached.” The rejection came amid speculation of a temporary truce after the Alaska peace talks with Trump. Instead, Russia intensified its aerial assault, launching nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles overnight on August 28. Kyiv was hit hardest, with hypersonic Kinzhal strikes killing at least 18 civilians, including 12 in Darnytskyi, as the war enters an even deadlier phase.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.
