'Using our dollars to buy Russian oil': Navarro attacks India again; takes 'laundromat' jibe
Friday, 29 August 2025 () Peter Navarro has accused India of funding Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing discounted Russian crude oil, leading to increased tariffs on Indian imports by the US. Navarro claims India's refining of Russian oil benefits Moscow and undermines its partnership with the US.
Ukraine launched overnight strikes on key Russian oil refineries and military targets in a fierce act of retaliation after a devastating Russian missile barrage on Kyiv killed 14 people, including children. The Ukrainian military confirmed direct hits on the Kuibyshev refinery in Samara Oblast and...

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war.

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.

Russia has flatly denied any agreement on an air ceasefire with Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declaring “no deals have been reached.” The rejection came amid speculation of a temporary truce after the Alaska peace talks with Trump. Instead, Russia intensified its aerial assault, launching nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles overnight on August 28. Kyiv was hit hardest, with hypersonic Kinzhal strikes killing at least 18 civilians, including 12 in Darnytskyi, as the war enters an even deadlier phase.

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied.

NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev. Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security. His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure. Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin. The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve. With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression.

Russia has escalated tensions by bombing the Turkish-built Bayraktar drone factory in Kyiv, dragging NATO-member Turkey deeper into the Ukraine war. Two missiles struck the nearly completed facility, causing severe damage, according to Kyiv city council member Igor Zinkevich. The Baykar factory was designed to produce Bayraktar combat drones, widely used by Ukraine against Russian forces. Despite earlier strikes, Baykar had invested millions and trained staff for production. Moscow’s attack underscores its strategy to Cripple Ukraine’s drone industry as the war intensifies.
