Russia-Ukraine War

Zelenskyy said that Putin was ‘bluffing’ when he said sanctions were not hurting the Kremlin.

The counter sanction targeted Lithuania-based UAB Urbo Bankas and AB Mano Bankas, after the EU sanctioned two rural Chinese banks.

Trump also wants a second meeting, with both Putin and Zelenskyy, soon after the summit.

The reported battlefield gains on the eastern front come amid preparations for a landmark summit between U.S. and Russian leaders.

The Ukrainian leader said territorial issues should be discussed only with security guarantees.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Alaska summit was arranged at Putin’s request, calling the meeting ‘a listening exercise’ for Trump.

The U.S. president has suggested the meeting could see some ‘land-swapping,’ raising concerns in Kyiv and Brussels.

A European Union statement published on Tuesday said the ‘path to peace’ cannot be decided without Ukraine’s participation.

The president said negotiations may bring both positive and negative outcomes for Ukraine, potentially involving land swaps and changes.

‘I certainly think it’s possible,’ says the U.S. ambassador to NATO.

The president said he ordered two nuclear submarines redeployed in response to ‘provocative statements’ by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Vance said Trump might need to force Putin and Zelenskyy ’to sit down to figure out their differences.’

‘We share the conviction that a diplomatic solution must protect Ukraine’s and Europe’s vital security interests,’ the leaders said.

President Donald Trump told reporters there could be ‘some swapping of territories to the betterment of both.’

The U.S. president will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of an effort to bring the war in Ukraine to a close.

The CCP leader told Putin that he is pleased to see Moscow improve ties with Washington, according to China’s foreign ministry.

The warning comes after the president imposed 25 percent additional tariffs on India, another key buyer of Russian energy.

‘That road was long and continues to be long, but there’s a good chance that there will be a meeting very soon,’ the U.S. president said.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will implement ’severe tariffs’ on Russia if they do not make progress on peace talks with Ukraine by Aug. 9.
