Trump’s Backchannel to Putin: Peace Deal in Works While Ukraine Watches in Silence | US-Russia Talks
In a highly secretive meeting, Vladimir Putin met Trump’s close envoy Steve Witkoff in St.
Petersburg, marking their third encounter since February.
Talks reportedly focused on ending the Ukraine war and restoring U.S.-Russia relations, sparking rumors of a historic shift in diplomacy.
Witkoff has become Trump’s trusted backchannel, with past negotiations already producing a prisoner swap.
With whispers of a Trump-Putin summit and Ukraine excluded from key discussions, concerns rise over whether peace may come at the cost of Ukrainian sovereignty.

Iran has signaled openness to a nuclear deal—if a proposed regional uranium consortium is based within its borders. The U.S. proposal, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, suggests shared enrichment oversight with countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey under IAEA monitoring. However, Iran's Supreme Leader dismissed any plan not based on Iranian soil, calling it a national threat. With enrichment caps and underground work restrictions on the table, talks aim to balance nuclear transparency with Tehran’s sovereignty concerns. A sixth round of negotiations may take place this weekend.

In a major development, Hamas has officially submitted its response to the Trump-backed Witkoff ceasefire proposal, signaling potential movement in the long-stalled negotiations. According to sources, Hamas has agreed to release 10 living hostages and return the bodies of 18 more—if key conditions are met. The group’s reply comes amid increasing pressure on both sides to halt the conflict. Israeli officials are now reviewing the proposal, as global eyes turn to whether Netanyahu’s war cabinet will accept Hamas’ terms or prolong the fighting.

Hamas has rejected the US-brokered ceasefire plan led by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it biased and lacking in substance. Senior Hamas official Jihad Taha said the proposal fails to address key Palestinian demands, including a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and binding guarantees to end hostilities. While reports suggest preliminary progress during talks in Doha, Hamas remains deeply skeptical, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis unless the international community intervenes urgently.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff has denied Hamas' claim that it accepted a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. Speaking to Axios, Witkoff clarified that only Israel has agreed to the current terms, and urged Hamas to accept the proposal that remains on the table. Earlier, a Palestinian source close to Hamas had claimed the group agreed to release hostages for a 70-day truce. The contradiction casts doubt on progress toward ending the conflict, raising concerns of further delays in reaching a ceasefire.

In a stunning development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he will speak with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone. The announcement came during a business forum on July 3, 2025, with Putin offering no details on the agenda before leaving abruptly for the call. Minutes later, Trump confirmed the 10 AM ET conversation on social media, sending shockwaves through the international community.
This high-stakes call comes at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war. Russian forces have been making significant territorial gains, recently claiming full control over the strategic region of Luhansk. This major blow to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government has been exacerbated by a slowdown in crucial military support from the United States. Moscow has intensified its aerial attacks, and the geopolitical landscape appears to be shifting, with both NATO and the U.S. seemingly easing their harsh rhetoric against Putin's actions.
Speculation is now rampant over the purpose of the Putin-Trump discussion. Key questions remain unanswered: What will they discuss? Will this call formalize a Russian victory and signal the end of the war? This move is particularly significant given Trump's previous vow to end the war in "24 hours," a promise he has struggled to fulfill since taking office. The world is watching to see if this phone call will reshape global security and determine the final fate of Ukraine.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are locked in an explosive feud over the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill,” with tensions escalating to unprecedented levels. Trump has threatened to deploy the “monster” DOGE agency to investigate Musk’s businesses—and even hinted at deporting the billionaire entrepreneur despite his U.S. citizenship.

In a stunning development, the U.S. has halted a critical weapons shipment to Ukraine that had already been staged in Poland, according to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. The cache includes over two dozen PAC-3 Patriot missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air-defense systems, Hellfire missiles, and 90+ AIM air-to-air missiles designated for Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets. U.S. administration and congressional officials reportedly confirmed the freeze, which aligns with the ongoing strategic review under the “America First” doctrine. The move comes amid rising Ukrainian frustration, with officials accusing Washington of endangering their defense readiness. The freeze has triggered intense geopolitical anxiety, with Kyiv urging clarity while Moscow eyes an advantage.
