Trump’s Surprise Peace Talks With Putin SHOCKS NATO And EU | Russia-Ukraine War Nearing Its End

President Donald Trump dropped a major geopolitical bombshell, revealing that “very good talks” were held with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and strongly hinting that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine may be imminent. Speaking optimistically, Trump said there's “a very good chance” the war could be nearing its “end of the road,” sparking global speculation about a possible three-way summit. Though no dates or details were confirmed, Trump’s tone suggested behind-the-scenes negotiations are already underway. The former president has long claimed he could end the war swiftly, and these new remarks have raised eyebrows across NATO, Kyiv, and Moscow. With the Russia-Ukraine war dragging into another brutal year, any sign of diplomatic breakthrough is being watched with bated breath. Trump's comments nowthrust him back onto the world stage as a potential broker of peace—or at least a disruptive wildcard in the fragile balance of global diplomacy. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #Geopolitics #TrumpPutinMeeting #Zelensky #GlobalDiplomacy #NATOWatch #TrumpSpeech #OvalOffice #UkraineCrisis #CeasefireTalks #WhiteHouseNews #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #PeaceSummit #WorldNews #Trump2025 ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.96~

‘No NATO or EU’ Trump Announces SHOCKING Trilateral Meet With Putin & Zelensky Without NATO and EU

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals. Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un.

As Trump threatens a steep tariff hike on Indian goods over its oil trade with Russia, India's NSA Ajit Doval arrives in Moscow for urgent talks.

Russia Rains Missiles On Zaporizhzhia Overnight Killing 2 Civilians | 500+ Strikes Rock Ukraine

Two civilians were killed and at least 10 injured—including four children—after a massive Russian strike barrage on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region. Governor Ivan Fedorov confirmed that 567 attacks were carried out in 24 hours across 16 settlements. Nine buildings were damaged in the Zaporizhzhia city district alone. As rescue operations scramble to contain the fallout, the latest assault underscores Russia’s continued aggression on front-line Ukrainian cities. Emergency responders remain on-site as fears of more strikes loom. Though Russia has not commented, both Moscow and Kyiv routinely deny targeting civilians, despite widespread destruction in populated areas. Zaporizhzhia, home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant, has become a battleground of immense strategic importance. The escalating situation brings fresh global attention to the human toll of the war that has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians since 2022.

Trump’s FLIP-FLOP Game Exposed! Denies ‘100%’ Penalty On India | India-Russia SLAMS Trump | Details

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike. Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm? #TrumpNews #IndiaRussia #TariffThreat #USIndiaTensions #RussianOil #TrumpPressConference #TradeWar #Geopolitics #IndoUSRelations #ModiTrump #USRussiaTrade #EnergyCrisis #GlobalTrade #IndiaFightsBack #BreakingNews #TrumpUpdate #IndiaStrategic #OilPolitics #BidenVsTrump #NuclearTrade ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~

Trump Plots U.S Takeover of Gaza Aid Amid Israeli Failure | “Babies Must Not Starve” - White House

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region. #Trump #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #IsraelGazaWar #GazaFamine #TrumpNews #MiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #GlobalCrisis #BreakingNews #SteveWitkoff #TrumpAdministration #WestBank #Palestine #GazaAid ~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~ED.346~
