Slovakia's prime minister claims Ukraine is jeopardising Europe's global competitiveness by refusing to allow Russia to export gas into the EU over its territory.
Western Gripen fighter jets — believed to be Swedish-made and NATO-linked — reportedly thundered through Thai airspace to carry out strikes on Cambodian military positions. The alleged aerial bombardment marks a dramatic new phase in the escalating Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the disputed Preah Vihear region. Unconfirmed reports suggest U.S. backing for Thailand’s military posture — raising questions about Donald Trump's growing global military footprint.
After igniting an inferno in the Middle East with Israel-Iran tensions, is Trump now fueling a second front in Southeast Asia? Meanwhile, Kremlin sources have gone quiet, and ASEAN is scrambling to contain what could spiral into a full-blown regional war. Macron has demanded de-escalation. Zelensky has called for urgent talks. But Trump? He’s reportedly “watching the situation closely.” Will this be another proxy war with global players lurking in the shadows?

In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations.
Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine.

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury.
Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September. What’s really going on behind closed doors?

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline.
While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast.

Mass protests have erupted in Kyiv, Lviv, and other Ukrainian cities despite martial law, with demonstrators accusing President Zelensky of betraying democratic ideals. Anger surged after parliament passed a law curtailing two key anti-corruption agencies, handing more power to a presidentially appointed prosecutor general. Critics warn the move threatens Ukraine’s EU membership path, undermines reforms, and signals a drift toward authoritarianism. Protesters chanted “We chose Europe, not autocracy,” while Zelensky defended the law as a way to remove Russian influence, deepening divisions amid an ongoing war with Moscow.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

In a stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers.
With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front.

In a fiery and wide-ranging press conference from Prestwick, Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump touched on everything from UK trade deals and EU negotiations to the Gaza crisis, Epstein allegations, illegal immigration, and wind energy. Trump confirmed meetings with the UK Prime Minister and EU leaders, calling the UK trade pact a “celebration.” He praised Ursula von der Leyen, dismissed France's recognition of Palestine, and condemned Hamas while vowing support for Israel.
He brushed off any links to the Epstein files and defended his associate Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump fiercely criticized Europe’s windmill projects and issued a grave warning about illegal immigration, claiming “you won’t have Europe anymore.” He also touted “six of the best months in presidency history.” As always, Trump didn’t hold back—sparking new waves of political reaction across Europe and the U.S.

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.
