President Putin holds firm despite push from the U.S. – Is a peace deal possible?
U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine.
This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022.
With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward?
Aerial visuals from Gaza reveal unprecedented levels of destruction caused by ongoing Israeli strikes, leveling entire cities and displacing over 90% of the population. The UN warns of man-made famine as land aid routes remain blocked, and airdrops are declared insufficient. With tens of thousands of women and children at risk, aid groups call the situation catastrophic. Accusations of war crimes intensify as Gaza’s humanitarian crisis spirals out of control, and international pressure mounts.

As Trump threatens a steep tariff hike on Indian goods over its oil trade with Russia, India's NSA Ajit Doval arrives in Moscow for urgent talks. His visit underscores India’s resolve to deepen strategic ties with Russia amid rising U.S. pressure. Doval is set to discuss defence cooperation, sanctions, and energy security, preparing the ground for a key Modi-Putin summit. India, defending its energy policy as national interest-based, aims to counter Trump’s accusations of “fueling the Russian war machine.”

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region.

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

Russia has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of refusing to accept the return of 1,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war, releasing what it claims is a full list of the captives. Moscow is portraying the move as a betrayal of Ukrainian soldiers, while Kyiv has yet to issue an official response.

Two civilians were killed and at least 10 injured—including four children—after a massive Russian strike barrage on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region. Governor Ivan Fedorov confirmed that 567 attacks were carried out in 24 hours across 16 settlements. Nine buildings were damaged in the Zaporizhzhia city district alone. As rescue operations scramble to contain the fallout, the latest assault underscores Russia’s continued aggression on front-line Ukrainian cities. Emergency responders remain on-site as fears of more strikes loom.
Though Russia has not commented, both Moscow and Kyiv routinely deny targeting civilians, despite widespread destruction in populated areas. Zaporizhzhia, home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant, has become a battleground of immense strategic importance. The escalating situation brings fresh global attention to the human toll of the war that has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians since 2022.

Russia has ramped up its assault on Ukraine after former President Trump issued a final nuclear warning. In a fiery response, President Putin confirmed the deployment of Oreshnik ballistic missiles capable of reaching U.S. cities. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has now escalated into a dangerous Trump vs Putin showdown, with nuclear threats, drone attacks in Crimea, and soaring casualties in Kyiv. As fears of a NATO-Russia confrontation grow, the global community watches nervously. Trump, meanwhile, has commissioned new nuclear submarines—signaling a chilling new phase of geopolitical warfare.

In one of the largest overnight drone barrages, Russia claims its air defense forces intercepted 99 drones targeting key cities and infrastructure across western Russia. Airports in St. Petersburg, Kaluga, and Volgograd were paralyzed, with 70+ flights delayed. Train services in Volgograd faced hours-long halts after drone debris damaged railway power lines. Debris fell in residential and industrial areas, reportedly injuring at least one person in Leningrad Oblast.
The Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of orchestrating the strikes, with Kyiv yet to issue a statement. Targeted regions included Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Rostov, and even occupied Crimea and Moscow. While Russia continues its aggressive strikes on Ukraine, this retaliation suggests an expanding and unpredictable aerial conflict zone. The Kyiv Independent couldn’t verify the claims independently. This is a rapidly developing story.

Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy by claiming the Ukraine-Russia war wouldn’t have happened if Russia remained in the G-8. In a bold statement, Trump called Russia’s removal “a big mistake” and blamed former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau for pushing Moscow out. He argued that sidelining Russia has only made global diplomacy harder. Trump's remarks reignite debate over Russia’s G-8 expulsion after Crimea’s annexation and its broader impact on global peace and Western alliances.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation.
