President Donald Trump spoke with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko on Friday, just hours before his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Calling the discussion “wonderful,” Trump thanked Lukashenko for releasing 16 political prisoners and explored a deal for freeing 1,300 more. This was their first call since Trump’s White House return. They discussed the Ukraine war, bilateral ties, and Putin’s visit. Belarus, a staunch Putin ally, has allowed Russian troops to operate from its territory since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, dismissing Ukraine’s recent anti-corruption drive as a “publicity stunt.” The leaders accused Zelensky of using scandals to distract from battlefield setbacks and declining Western support. With tensions escalating across the eastern front, the Putin-Lukashenko alliance is sending a strong signal to Kyiv and NATO.

Putin has made a bold declaration amid escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war. In a televised address alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin confirmed the fall of Chasiv Yar — a key strategic town in Eastern Ukraine — and claimed a decisive advance across the frontline. With Oreshnik’s deployment and increasing momentum for Russian forces, Putin hinted at a major breakthrough in the ongoing Special Military Operation (SMO).

Kremlin sources reveal Putin’s shocking condition to meet Zelensky, throwing Ukraine’s leadership into turmoil just as peace talks hang in the balance. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ripped into Zelensky’s “comedy-style politics,” mocking his leadership and branding Kyiv’s stance a dangerous joke. With Moscow hurling accusations of a “neo-Nazi regime” and Putin setting explosive terms for any dialogue, tensions between Russia and Ukraine are spiraling ahead of Trump’s proposed trilateral push.

Russia unleashed a massive overnight drone and missile assault on western Ukraine on Aug. 21, killing at least one civilian and injuring 14, in a brazen attack that came just days after peace talks in Washington. Explosions rocked cities far from the front line, including Lviv, Lutsk, Rivne, and Mukachevo, where a major electronics plant employing 800 people was set ablaze. Twelve civilians were hospitalized in Mukachevo alone. Air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine as Russian MiG-31 jets capable of firing Kinzhal missiles took off, triggering panic. Air defenses intercepted several drones, but multiple strikes caused fires and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The attack highlights Russia’s continued bombardment of civilians even as President Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly discuss peace. Since Trump’s Aug. 15 meeting with Putin, Russian strikes have already killed 31 civilians and injured 145 more.

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.

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?

Russia has officially deployed its most feared and advanced weapon yet—Oreshnik, a hypersonic strike system capable of reshaping the battlefield. Unveiled during a high-level meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, President Vladimir Putin declared the system fully operational and integrated into Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine. With the liberation of Chasiv Yar claimed and the Oreshnik system in action, global attention turns to what this game-changing development means for the future of the war.
