Just hours before his highly anticipated face-to-face with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, President Donald Trump has set off a political firestorm with one of his most explosive statements yet on the Ukraine war. Hinting at a major policy shift, Trump’s remarks are fueling speculation that he may be ready to scale back U.S. support for Kyiv — a move critics say could hand Moscow a strategic victory and leave Ukraine out in the cold. The timing, so close to the summit, has only amplified the shockwaves rippling through Washington, Kyiv, and global diplomatic circles.

Ukraine has launched a dramatic strike just hours before the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces reportedly blew up a Russian ship docked at Port Olya, allegedly carrying Iranian-made drone parts. The move is being seen as a bold sabotage attempt aimed at derailing peace talks, escalating tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, and sending a defiant message ahead of the much-anticipated face-off between the U.S. and Russian leaders.

Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a Ukrainian drone slammed into a civilian vehicle in the heart of Belgorod, Russia, unleashing a fiery blast that left three people wounded. Among the victims, one man is reported to be in serious condition. The attack occurred in broad daylight at a busy city intersection, sending pedestrians and drivers scrambling for safety.
Local authorities say the strike was part of escalating cross-border drone assaults targeting Russia’s Belgorod region in recent months. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor, confirmed the injuries and released the harrowing footage, which quickly went viral. The dramatic clip shows the drone swooping down before detonating on impact, obliterating the vehicle in an instant. Officials have condemned the attack as an act of terrorism against civilians, while Kyiv has yet to comment. The strike underscores the growing reach of Ukrainian drone operations deep into Russian territory.

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.
