Ukraine Drone Strike Rocks Russia Hours Before High-Stakes Trump-Putin Peace Summit In Alaska
Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a Ukrainian drone slammed into a civilian vehicle in the heart of Belgorod, Russia, unleashing a fiery blast that left three people wounded.
Among the victims, one man is reported to be in serious condition.
The attack occurred in broad daylight at a busy city intersection, sending pedestrians and drivers scrambling for safety.
Local authorities say the strike was part of escalating cross-border drone assaults targeting Russia’s Belgorod region in recent months.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor, confirmed the injuries and released the harrowing footage, which quickly went viral.
The dramatic clip shows the drone swooping down before detonating on impact, obliterating the vehicle in an instant.
Officials have condemned the attack as an act of terrorism against civilians, while Kyiv has yet to comment.
The strike underscores the growing reach of Ukrainian drone operations deep into Russian territory.
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.

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.

Zelensky is accused of planning a major provocation ahead of the highly anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. According to Russian intelligence, Kyiv is preparing a large-scale strike using UAVs and missiles targeting residential areas — an attack that could be blamed on Moscow to derail peace efforts. With tensions already at boiling point, this alleged plot threatens to plunge the conflict into dangerous new territory just as diplomatic talks are set to begin.
