Russia launched its largest-ever drone assault on Ukraine overnight, with a total of 188 Shahed drones and several Iskander-M ballistic missiles targeting multiple regions.
Ukrainian air defenses successfully shot down 76 drones, while 95 others were neutralized by radar jamming systems. Despite these efforts, critical infrastructure, including private and apartment buildings, were severely damaged in several regions.
Explosions were heard over the capital, Kyiv, which was under air alert for over five hours.
This massive attack represents one of the most significant escalations in the

U.S. President Donald Trump has set off a storm of speculation after telling supporters, “I’m going to Russia,” just days before his planned August 15 meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. This summit—the first face-to-face between the leaders since Trump’s return to the White House—was expected to focus on ending the war in Ukraine, with Trump hinting at a controversial “territory swap” proposal.
Alaska was chosen for its proximity to Russia across the Bering Strait, but Trump’s new remark has fueled rumors the venue could shift to Russian soil. For Moscow, the meeting is already being hailed as a diplomatic victory, marking Putin’s first U.S. invitation outside the U.N. since 2007. But if the location changes, the optics and stakes could transform overnight, raising fresh questions about U.S. strategy, Ukraine’s voice in negotiations, and Trump’s real intentions.

In a dramatic turn after his high-stakes Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump revealed that he expects a direct meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — or even a tense trilateral summit including himself. Calling the Alaska talks a “feel-out meeting,” Trump said Putin “wants to get it over with,” but noted that missiles are still pounding Kiev despite what he described as “great calls.”
Trump added that 5,000–7,000 people are dying every week in the war, and Ukraine is now drafting 60-year-olds into combat. He insisted he gets along with Zelensky but disagrees with his actions. The proposed Putin-Zelensky engagement could mark a critical turning point — or a diplomatic showdown with the stakes at their highest.

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.

A high-stakes showdown is set to unfold in Alaska as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump prepare for direct talks that could reshape the global balance of power. With the Ukraine war at a critical juncture, speculation is mounting over whether Trump will strike a deal with Moscow — and at what cost to Kiev.
Reports suggest territorial swaps are on the table, an idea Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected, vowing never to cede land to Russia. The choice of Alaska — a symbolic and strategic location once sold by Russia to the United States — has fueled intrigue, raising questions about the real motives behind the venue. Is this a step toward peace, or the beginning of a dangerous new chapter in the conflict? The world is watching as the stage is set for a potentially history-changing negotiation.

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas.

Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has confirmed a daring drone strike that destroyed one of Russia’s most advanced radar stations in occupied Crimea. The 98L6 Yenisei radar, crucial to both the S-500 and S-400 air defense systems, was targeted by the elite “Prymary” (Ghosts) division in a precision operation. HUR said the hit dealt a “significant blow” to Moscow’s defensive capabilities on the peninsula.
The strike also damaged a Russian fast assault landing craft and two other radar stations during a wave of coordinated attacks. Crimea, seized by Russia in 2014, has seen escalating Ukrainian strikes since the 2022 full-scale invasion, as Kyiv seeks to Cripple Moscow’s logistics and air defense networks ahead of key offensives. The loss of the Yenisei radar could leave Russian forces more vulnerable to further Ukrainian operations across the Black Sea region.

Donald Trump’s bold campaign vow to end the Russia–Ukraine war “within 24 hours” has unraveled into six months of shifting deadlines, broken ultimatums, and rising tensions. Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has suspended U.S. military aid to Ukraine, sidelined Kyiv in talks, reversed support for NATO expansion, and repeatedly clashed with President Volodymyr Zelensky while trying to woo Vladimir Putin. From a “first 48 hours” promise, to 30-day, two-week, 50-day, and finally August 8 deadlines, each reset has produced no ceasefire — only intensified Russian attacks and deepening mistrust. With his latest deadline passing without results, Trump now faces mounting domestic and international pressure as he prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Putin since the war began, leaving the world to question whether peace is possible or if this is just another clock set to reset.

Donald Trump has floated a controversial Ukraine-Russia peace proposal involving territorial swaps, suggesting both sides could benefit. According to reports, Vladimir Putin is open to halting the war if Kyiv cedes eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fiercely rejected any deal involving land concessions, calling it a reward for Russian aggression. While Trump insists the idea could end the conflict, Zelensky warned that any settlement without Ukraine’s consent is doomed, urging a “dignified and lasting” peace instead.
