'Kick-out Zelensky for Wearing...': Russian FM Lavrov Reacts to Jeans Ban at Chess Championship
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed his shock at the International Chess Federation’s (FIDE) strict enforcement of the dress code, leading to Magnus Carlsen’s controversial disqualification from the World Rapid and Blitz Championship for wearing jeans.
In a surprising statement, Lavrov compared the treatment of Carlsen to the more lenient dress code surrounding Ukrainian President Zelensky’s frequent appearance in military-style attire at international events.
This has sparked debates on double standards and the politics of dress codes in global arenas.
Watch the full story on this chess scandal and Lavrov’s bold remarks.

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.

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty.

Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

Hours after a high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting ended without progress, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and Shaheed drones across Ukraine, killing five and wounding eleven. Ukraine’s air defense intercepted 40 drones, but multiple strikes hit civilian areas. Hopes for a ceasefire faded as European leaders opposed Trump’s accelerated peace plan, instead urging direct Ukraine-Russia talks. Trump now seeks a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky on August 22, as the war intensifies and negotiations remain deadlocked.

Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities firing hundreds of missiles and projectiles daily despite ongoing peace efforts, led by the United States. Ukrainian officials say their unwillingness to dial back their offensive reflects their lack of sincere interest in peace.
