The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

A U.S. appeals court has ruled that many of President Trump’s global tariffs were imposed illegally, dealing a major setback to his trade agenda. The 7-4 ruling found Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to levy duties, though tariffs remain in place until October pending further appeal. The decision casts uncertainty over deals with the EU, UK, and other partners, raising questions about billions collected. Critics warn of a “global diplomatic embarrassment” as Trump vows to fight back in the Supreme Court.

Vladimir Putin has unleashed a shocking strike on Kyiv, with reports claiming Russia directly hit an EU office in the heart of the city. The move, framed by Moscow as a warning to the West, comes as Putin openly mocks Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Europe’s leadership in one chilling message of defiance. Explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital as Russia’s latest attack targeted diplomatic and civilian zones, drawing swift condemnation from EU leaders.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pushing back against Donald Trump’s peace initiative, demanding a Russian ceasefire before any summit with Putin and Zelensky can proceed. Merz warned that credibility of negotiations depends on Moscow halting attacks, urging European leaders to pressure Putin. He confirmed discussions with U.S. and EU partners on security guarantees for Ukraine but cautioned Putin’s participation in talks remains uncertain. While Trump pushes for direct negotiations, Merz insists Europe must play a central role in shaping long-term security arrangements.

Trump’s latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelensky’s urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron—leaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trump’s rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putin’s stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.
