Vladimir Putin will not attend the high-stakes Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul.
Instead, Kremlin aide and nationalist figure Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian delegation, reigniting debate over Russia's negotiation sincerity.
Medinsky, known for his controversial historical views, previously led failed 2022 talks with Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Zelensky insists only Putin’s presence signals real intent.
He refuses to meet lower-tier officials.
Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to skip the event.
The absence of top leaders adds doubt over whether Istanbul's negotiations will yield any breakthrough in the ongoing war.
Donald Trump has issued his toughest warning yet to Russia, threatening an “economic war” if President Vladimir Putin refuses to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire. Speaking after his Alaska meeting with Putin, Trump said he will not allow a world war but promised devastating sanctions that could crippleRussia’s economy. He also shocked reporters by suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “not exactly innocent either.” With Ukraine talks collapsing, Trump’s remarks could reshape the fragile balance of war and diplomacy in Europe.

Donald Trump declared that the U.S. is no longer directly paying Ukraine but instead profits from arms sales routed through NATO allies. Speaking at the White House, Trump emphasized that NATO partners fund and supply ammunition to Kyiv, while the U.S. benefits from the transactions. He praised President Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman,” during their second meeting this year. Trump’s remarks signal a shift in Washington’s Ukraine strategy, stressing NATO’s financial burden and America’s transactional approach to global security.

World powers are aligning against the U.S. as Trump’s aggressive tariff policies fuel backlash. At the upcoming SCO summit in China, leaders including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi will present a united front against Western dominance. Trump’s penalties on India and Brazil have only pushed them closer to the anti-Western bloc, with Russia emerging as the common thread binding these nations. Experts warn that tariffs may not only damage U.S. economic ties but also accelerate the rise of a multipolar world order.

President Donald Trump, frustrated with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, pledged he could end the conflict “within 24 hours.” Speaking to reporters, Trump leaned pro-Russia, threatening Ukraine with sanctions and tariffs if the war continued. He issued an ultimatum to both Kyiv and Moscow: “End the war or bleed economically,” while urging Ukraine to concede land to appease Vladimir Putin. Ukraine and European leaders firmly rejected the idea. Trump insists he prefers economic pressure over risking a world war, blaming Biden for fueling the conflict.

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets.
Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure.

President Trump has imposed 50% punitive tariffs on India, accusing New Delhi of “funding Russia’s war machine” through increased oil imports from Moscow. The move threatens $48.2 billion worth of Indian exports, with SBI warning of a 0.3–0.6% GDP hit. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bow to U.S. pressure, vowing to protect farmers’ interests despite potential economic costs. As Indian goods like gems, jewellery, and shrimp face steep barriers, India is now pivoting towards Europe, the UK, Australia, and the Middle East to offset losses.

Abrego Garcia, long at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, was arrested again as DHS branded him an MS-13 gang member. In a video posted by DHS, Garcia said “Gobierno Corrupto” (“Corrupt Government”) before being taken behind bars. Trump allies, including Kristi Noem, called for his deportation to Uganda, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the move, citing Garcia’s clean U.S. record. With DHS insisting he is a dangerous criminal and Democrats defending him, the case has ignited a fresh political and legal battle over immigration.
