‘Ukraine Is Not Our….’ U.S Drops Bombshell On Ukraine War | Zelensky Trapped As U.S Cut Ties?

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement. #Trump #Ukraine #NATO #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineWar #SecurityGuarantees #Europe #USPolitics #Russia #PeaceTalks #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineCrisis #NATOAllies #UkraineRussiaWar #TrilateralSummit #PoliticoReport #GlobalSecurity #TrumpPutin

“Heading to World War III….But”: Trump Makes First Ever WW 3 Comment As Putin Bombs NATO Borders [Video]

“Heading to World War III….But”: Trump Makes First Ever WW 3 Comment As Putin Bombs NATO Borders

In a dramatic claim, U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the threat of World War III is now off the table, despite Russia’s massive aerial bombardment striking dangerously close to NATO territory. Speaking on a podcast, Trump said the Ukraine war was “raging” and “heading to World War III” when he took office earlier this year, but he insists his diplomacy with Vladimir Putin has pulled the world back from the brink. His remarks come just days after hosting Putin in Alaska for face-to-face talks, followed by Zelensky and European leaders meeting him in Washington. While the White House hails “light at the end of the tunnel,” Russia continues to pound Ukraine with drones, missiles, and glide bombs near NATO borders. With Putin striking Odesa and NATO jets scrambling, Trump’s bold claim of preventing WW3 raises questions: is peace closer, or is the world still on edge? #Trump #Putin #WorldWar3 #UkraineWar #NATO #RussiaUkraineConflict #Zelensky #USPolitics #PeaceTalks #Biden #TrumpPutin #Geopolitics #UkraineRussiaWar #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #GlobalConflict #Diplomacy #AlaskaSummit #UkraineCrisis #WW3 ~HT.318~ED.102~

Putin’s Aide EXPLODES at EU Nations; BLASTS Ceasefire Calls as Weapon Shipments to Ukraine Continue

Watch Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov deliver an unfiltered, live response to Western efforts aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine. In this fiery address, Lavrov accuses the European Union and the United States of prolonging the war rather than seeking peace, asserting that their continued arms supplies to Kyiv under the guise of humanitarian or security assistance are fueling the conflict. He also strongly criticizes recent ceasefire talks—suggesting they lack sincerity and are little more than a “sham”—and condemns security discussions that exclude Moscow as a “road to nowhere,” arguing that excluding Russia makes meaningful peace negotiations impossible #Lavrov #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #Ceasefire #UkraineWar #Moscow #USRussia #EU #RussiaUkraineConflict #Geopolitics #NATO #Kyiv #PeaceTalks #WorldNews #WarUpdates 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 Melania Trump Urges Vladimir Putin to Consider Children in Ukraine Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trump-letter-to-putin-children-peace-ukraine-011-7832049.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy To Meet Trump In Washington After Alaska Summit With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-to-meet-trump-in-washington-after-alaska-summit-with-putin-7831645.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~GR.122~
