US relinquishes role as mediator|Demands Direct talks between Russia & Ukraine| Is peace possible?

In a major shift, the U.S. has stepped back from directly mediating Ukraine-Russia peace talks, urging both sides to present concrete proposals for ending the war.

The move comes as President Trump grows frustrated with the lack of progress despite several meetings and major pro-Ukraine actions, including a $50 million arms package.

With Crimea still a major sticking point, the U.S. withdrawal dims hopes for a near-term resolution.

Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies. The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment. #RussiaGermany #RussiaIran #RussiaNorthKorea #Putin #Lavrov #GermanyWithdrawal #MilitaryPact #BRICS2025 #UkraineWar #NATO #RussiaSanctions #RussiaChina #KimJongUn #IranNuclear #Geopolitics #GlobalTensions #AxisOfSanctions #RussiaIsolation #MoscowNews #RussiaBreaking ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~

Ukrainian Soldiers Raise Flags in “Captured” Villages —Russia’s Fake Victory Exposed in Donetsk Push [Video]

Ukrainian Soldiers Raise Flags in “Captured” Villages —Russia’s Fake Victory Exposed in Donetsk Push

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured. Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success. Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended. #UkraineWar #Donetsk #UkraineVsRussia #RussianPropaganda #Yalta #Voskresenka #UkrainianArmy #EasternUkraine #WarUpdate #FPVDrones #UkrainianFlags #UkraineNews #20thCorps #MilitaryTruth #BreakingNews #StandWithUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.124~

Ukraine Burns Overnight: Deadly Russian Shaheed Drones Hit Homes, Schools, and Nova Poshta Hub

On the night of July 17–18, Russia launched a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine, striking the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts with drones and other weapons. At least two civilians were killed and 11 injured in the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk, where homes, a school, a shop, and cars were damaged. In Zaporizhzhia, Shahed drones ignited fires in non-residential buildings, injuring a 79-year-old man. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #ShahedDrones #NovaPoshta #DniproAttack #Zaporizhzhia #Sloviansk #DroneStrike #UkraineNews #StandWithUkraine #WarCrimes #CivilianTargets #BreakingNews #July18Attack #UkraineUnderAttack ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

VIDEO: Russia’s FAB-1500 Bomb OBLITERATES Ukrainian Troop Base; Missile Strike Hits UAV Command Post

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region. These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces. #RussiaUkraineWar #FAB1500 #UkraineConflict #RussianAerospaceForces #KhersonStrike #RodinskoyeAttack #UAVCommandHit #DonetskWar #UkraineBrigade #WarOnUkraine #RussianAirStrike #MilitaryConflict #MissileStrike #DroneCommandCenter #UkraineUnderFire #EasternFrontline #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaStrikesBack #UkrainianDefense #TacticalStrike ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump MOCKS Brics As “Little Group Fading Fast”; Vows 10% Tariff On BRICS Nations

During the signing of the landmark GENIUS Act, President Trump launched a spectacular verbal assault on BRICS, calling the bloc a “little group fading fast”, accusing it of trying to dethrone the US dollar. He reaffirmed his threat of a 10% tariff on any country joining the alliance, claiming the measure “hit them very hard” and caused BRICS attendance to collapse. Trump emphasized the GENIUS Act’s role in cementing American leadership in crypto and finance, proudly noting, “They named it after me!” He portrayed the protection of the dollar's reserve status as vital—comparable to “not losing a World War.” Meanwhile, the newly passed law establishes regulatory clarity for stablecoins, bolstering US dominance in digital currency while rejecting central bank digital currency. Trump delivered his usual bombast: BRICS must never “play games with us.” Critics point out there's little evidence BRICS plans a dollar coup, but Trump’s economic war strategy is on full display. #TrumpVsBRICS #DollarDominance #GENIUSAct #TrumpTariffs #ProtectTheDollar #BricsCollapse #CryptoLaw #USReserveCurrency #StablecoinRegulation #TrumpSpeech #TariffThreat #BricsPay #EconomicWarfare #USFinanceLeadership #MAGA #GlobalDollar #TrumpCrypto #AntiBrics #TariffWar #DonaldTrump ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~

‘A VERY BIG MISTAKE’ | Trump BLASTS Obama, Trudeau For pushing Russia out of G-8 [Video]

‘A VERY BIG MISTAKE’ | Trump BLASTS Obama, Trudeau For pushing Russia out of G-8

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. #Trump #UkraineRussiaWar #G8 #Russia #TrumpStatement #BreakingNews #Obama #Trudeau #TrumpVsObama #Geopolitics #UkraineWar #RussiaInG8 #CrimeaCrisis #TrumpSpeech #WorldPolitics #G8Expulsion #TrumpBombshell #DiplomacyFail #TrumpOnRussia #GlobalSecurity #TrumpNews #WesternAlliances #Putin #Trump2024 #InternationalRelations Also Read Donald Trump Says Iran Will Not Win War, Should Push For Talk Before It's Too Late :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-iran-will-not-win-war-should-push-for-talk-before-its-too-late-4183539.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Supported Israel's Plan To Kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: US Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-supported-israels-plan-to-kill-iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-us-offici-4182653.html?ref=DMDesc US To Impose Travel Restrictions On 36 Countries: Check List Here :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-to-impose-travel-restrictions-on-36-countries-check-list-here-4182641.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest

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. #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #RussiaUltimatum #UkraineTerritories #Ceasefire #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kyiv #IstanbulTalks #RussianAggression #UkrainianSovereignty #EU #NATO #PrisonerSwap #Trump Also Read Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Zelensky's Bridge Attack Doomed: Traffic RESUMES On Crimea Bridge After Ukrainian Underwater Blast [Video]

Zelensky's Bridge Attack Doomed: Traffic RESUMES On Crimea Bridge After Ukrainian Underwater Blast

Ukraine claims responsibility for a massive underwater explosion targeting the Crimea (Kerch) Bridge, using over 1,100 kg of TNT-equivalent explosives. Officials say the blast damaged a key underwater support structure, yet hours later, traffic resumed on the bridge. Built by Russia in 2018, the bridge is vital for military supplies to occupied Crimea. Independent analysts confirmed the blast’s location but questioned its impact. This isn’t the first strike — but was it effective? The bridge reopened shortly after, leaving doubts about the success of Ukraine’s latest attack. #CrimeaBridge #KerchBridge #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #BridgeBlast #UkraineStrike #MilitaryNews #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #Crimea #TNTBlast #Explosives #UkraineIntel #WarUpdates #CrimeaTarget #KerchTraffic #UkrainianForces #RussianSupplyLine #StrategicStrike #WarAnalysis #DefenseNews #BridgeAttack #UkraineDefense #CrimeaHit #MilitaryBridge #RussiaAnnexation #CrimeaSymbol #KerchBridgeBlast #RussiaVsUkraine #BridgeDamage
