Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu
In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution.
The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so.
Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state.
Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left Downing Street after a high-profile meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, just hours before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska for critical talks on ending the Ukraine war. The meeting between Starmer and Zelensky was a public show of unity, with both leaders refusing to comment on whether Trump could deliver a fair ceasefire.
The Kremlin confirmed the Alaska summit will feature a one-on-one session followed by delegation talks, with a joint press conference to follow. Meanwhile, tensions escalate on the ground: Russia claims Ukraine launched dozens of drones at Volgograd and Belgorod overnight, while Ukraine reports deadly Russian strikes on Kharkiv. Former MI6 chief Alex Younger warns there is no sign Putin has softened his aims. The world’s attention now turns to Alaska, where the outcome could reshape the future of Europe’s bloodiest conflict in decades.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly not been invited to the upcoming Trump–Putin peace summit in Alaska on August 15, raising concerns of a diplomatic sidelining. White House sources say the meeting will focus on U.S.–Russia dialogue at Moscow’s request. While Trump has floated territorial swaps as a path to peace, Zelensky rejects the idea, citing constitutional limits. The Kremlin insists talks must address Crimea and four regions annexed in 2022, while Ukraine refuses any concessions, leaving negotiations at an impasse.

In a stunning shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness for peace talks with Russia, saying “it’s time to end the war.” His call for a “dignified peace” comes amid a confirmed Trump-Putin summit soon and ongoing Russian strikes. Zelensky proposed bilateral or trilateral summits and urged Moscow to match Ukraine’s courage. The Kremlin, however, questions Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing expired terms and lack of elections. With Putin-Trump talks expected soon, the path to peace now faces high-stakes political hurdles.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.

In a dramatic turn of events, French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement to recognise Palestine as a state at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly has triggered unrest in the French capital.

This exclusive ground report brings you voices from France, reactions from legal experts and students, footage from protests across the continent, and the growing debate over Europe's shifting stance on Palestine.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urgently rallying European leaders ahead of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Zelensky warned of “the danger of Russia’s plan” to force Ukraine into discussing the “impossible” — territorial exchanges that would favor Moscow’s future war ambitions.
While Trump is expected to sit down with Putin soon, Zelensky is pushing for maximum coordination with the UK, US, EU, and other allies to secure a “truly lasting peace” and avoid any deal that simply reconfigures the conflict. He also emphasized Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership, warning that Russia has not shifted its stance on ending the war and continues to fuel the fighting.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline.
While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast.

Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning following the U.S. deployment of B61-12 nuclear bombs to the UK—just 2,800 kilometers from Moscow. The Kremlin accused Washington of provoking nuclear tensions and deliberately escalating global instability. As Trump grows increasingly confrontational over the Ukraine war, Russia says the West is sabotaging strategic dialogue and militarizing Europe. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the suspension of nuclear talks, citing hostile Western policies. With diplomacy breaking down, fears of World War III are rising fast.

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a “travesty” and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward “world peace,” arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine America’s role on the global stage.

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.”

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.
