Massive Russian Blow to Ukraine: Zelensky Embarrassed As Elite Soldiers Trained In France Disappear

The Ukrainian military faces a significant challenge as dozens of soldiers from the elite 'Anne of Kiev' Brigade, trained in France, have reportedly deserted.

The flagship unit, inspected by French President Emmanuel Macron, was meant to symbolize Ukraine’s military strength amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Reports indicate that many of the soldiers lacked combat experience, and internal issues within the brigade have led to the dismissal of senior commanders.

Ukrainian military officials have acknowledged personnel problems but downplayed the scale of the desertions.

Palestine to be a NATION-STATE in September? | Mahmoud Abbas likely to make BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at UN

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash. #Palestine #Statehood #MahmoudAbbas #UNGA #France #UK #MiddleEast #Israel #BenGvir #Netanyahu #StateRecognition #BreakingNews #PalestineState #MiddleEastPolitics #PLO #PalestinianAuthority #Macron #InternationalRecognition #Gaza #Diplomacy #PeaceProcess #IsraelPalestine #UNGeneralAssembly #GlobalPolitics #HumanRights #PoliticalBacklash #MiddleEastPeace #PalestineNews #Recognition #TwoStateSolution Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc 'Azad Kashmir', 'Free Palestine' Graffiti At Jadavpur University Triggers Row :: https://www.oneindia.com/kolkata/azad-kashmir-free-palestine-graffiti-at-jadavpur-university-triggers-row-4091993.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Withdrawal From UN Human Rights Body, Halts Funding For Palestinian Refugees :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-withdrawal-from-un-human-rights-body-halts-funding-for-palestinian-refugees-4062559.html?ref=DMDesc

ā€˜Absolutely Possible’: U.S Considering Zelensky Invite To Alaska For Trump–Putin Talks | Reports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urgently rallying European leaders ahead of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Zelensky warned of ā€œthe danger of Russia’s planā€ to force Ukraine into discussing the ā€œimpossibleā€ — territorial exchanges that would favor Moscow’s future war ambitions. While Trump is expected to sit down with Putin soon, Zelensky is pushing for maximum coordination with the UK, US, EU, and other allies to secure a ā€œtruly lasting peaceā€ and avoid any deal that simply reconfigures the conflict. He also emphasized Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership, warning that Russia has not shifted its stance on ending the war and continues to fuel the fighting. #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #Alaska #Summit #Ukraine #Russia #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #August15 #NBCNews #WhiteHouse #GlobalTensions #USRussia #USUkraine #PoliticalDrama #HighStakes #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~
