Zelensky SCARED of ‘Bully’ Trump? Begs EU Leaders to accompany during U.S. trip to save humiliation?

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. #Zelensky #Trump #OvalOfficeShowdown #USPolitics #Ukraine #EULeaders #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #KeirStarmer #Macron #GiorgiaMeloni #FriedrichMerz #MarkRutte #AlexanderStubb #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpVsZelensky #PoliticalDrama #WashingtonSummit #GlobalPolitics #UkraineSupport #WhiteHouse #UkraineNews #EuropeStandsWithUkraine #TrumpNews #WorldNews #BreakingNews #Diplomacy #USUkraine #EUPolitics #Leadership #UkraineDefense Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia “Lost An Oil Client” India After Washington Announced Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-tariffs-hit-india-as-trump-says-russia-has-lost-an-oil-client-7831511.html?ref=DMDesc Next Time In Moscow?: Russia President Putin Invites US Counterpart Trump To Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/next-time-in-moscow-russia-president-putin-invites-us-counterpart-trump-to-russia-7831399.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.96~

U.S, UK, France Troops in Ukraine? EU pushes for NATO-like Security Guarantees. Will Putin agree?

Ukraine could soon receive NATO-like security guarantees as Zelensky visits Washington with top EU leaders. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claims Russia has for the first time conceded to allowing America to provide “Article 5-style protections” to Ukraine—a breakthrough in negotiations. The proposed deal would shield Ukraine militarily without full NATO membership, avoiding Russia’s objections. While Zelensky calls the guarantees historic, disputes remain over territory. EU leaders back the plan, warning against any peace deal that forces Ukraine to cede land. #Ukraine #Zelensky #Trump #NATO #SecurityGuarantees #USPolitics #Russia #Putin #SteveWitkoff #Article5 #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #USUkraine #EULeaders #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews #UkraineSupport #UkrainePeaceDeal #NATOLike #RussiaUkraineWar #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #Geopolitics #WorldNews #UkraineDefense #TrumpZelensky #WashingtonSummit #UkraineCrisis #Diplomacy #UkraineFuture #UkraineSecurity Also Read No Going Into NATO by Ukraine: Trump's Message To Zelensky Ahead of Talks At White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-going-into-nato-by-ukraine-trumps-message-to-zelensky-ahead-of-talks-at-white-house-011-7832883.html?ref=DMDesc After Putin Meeting, Trump Hints ‘Big Progress On Russia’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-progress-us-russia-discussions-ukraine-security-011-7832705.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~GR.124~HT.96~

Trump Sides with Putin: Demands Zelensky Accept Peace Deal on Kremlin’s Terms | U.S-Ukraine Showdown

US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia. The ultimatum comes just days after Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, which he admitted brought “little progress” toward ending the war. With Zelensky under mounting pressure and European allies resisting Trump’s terms, Washington is bracing for a high-stakes clash that could reshape the future of the Ukraine war. #Trump #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Russia #Putin #NATO #WhiteHouse #Washington #PeaceDeal #Geopolitics Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~

Russia Reveals Putin’s Top 3 Demands Before Alaska Summit | Will Trump Bow To Putin’s Demands?

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. #Trump #Putin #AlaskaSummit #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #RussiaUkraine #Zelenskyy #Crimea #NATO #Geopolitics #InternationalLaw #Kyiv #USPolitics #Moscow #PeaceTalks #WarNews #Diplomacy #TerritorialDispute #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~

Zelensky NOT INVITED to Trump-Putin Alaska Peace Talks? Ukraine LEFT OUT, Russia Gains Upper Hand

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. #TrumpPutin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #AlaskaSummit #Trump #Putin #USRussia #UkraineConflict #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Zaporozhye #Kherson #TerritorialSwaps #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #WarNegotiations #BreakingNews #Kremlin #Diplomacy #UkraineRussiaWar #Moscow #Washington #Geopolitics #PeaceSummit #UkraineSidelined #TrumpNews #PutinNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Europe OPPOSES Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan With Putin | Zelensky SLAMS Proposal to Swap Territory

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #EUAllies #NoDealWithoutUkraine #Donbas #Crimea #EuropePolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #WarInUkraine #InternationalRelations #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews #UkraineStrong #PutinTalks #UkraineRussia #BackUkraine #TrumpPutin #EUvsTrump #PeaceDeal #KyivStrong #DonbasCrimea #UkraineWarUpdate #StandWithUkraine Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

BREAKING: Ukraine DESTROYS Russia’s Prized S-500 Radar In Daring Drone Strike On Occupied Crimea

Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has confirmed a daring drone strike that destroyed one of Russia’s most advanced radar stations in occupied Crimea. The 98L6 Yenisei radar, crucial to both the S-500 and S-400 air defense systems, was targeted by the elite “Prymary” (Ghosts) division in a precision operation. HUR said the hit dealt a “significant blow” to Moscow’s defensive capabilities on the peninsula. The strike also damaged a Russian fast assault landing craft and two other radar stations during a wave of coordinated attacks. Crimea, seized by Russia in 2014, has seen escalating Ukrainian strikes since the 2022 full-scale invasion, as Kyiv seeks to Cripple Moscow’s logistics and air defense networks ahead of key offensives. The loss of the Yenisei radar could leave Russian forces more vulnerable to further Ukrainian operations across the Black Sea region. #Ukraine #Crimea #Russia #DroneStrike #S500 #AirDefense #WarNews #Military #HUR #S400 #CrimeaAttack #Putin #Zelensky #BlackSea #Kyiv #RussianForces #UkraineWar #MissileDefense #RadarStrike #BreakingNews ~HT.318~
