Prime Minister Modi's visit to Tianjin for the SCO Summit marked his first trip to China in over seven years, following a visit to Japan. Discussions with.. IndiaTimes
At the SCO Summit, a powerful moment unfolded as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in a private and seemingly warm conversation. Xi immediately called for his interpreter after the photo-op, ensuring a lengthy and precise exchange with Putin while other world leaders lined up for the traditional family photo. Their relaxed smiles suggested not just diplomacy, but a bond strengthening at a time of rising global tensions. The interaction is already being seen as symbolic of a deepening Russia-China axis, potentially unsettling the West. Observers note that this visible show of unity comes as U.S. and NATO seek to counter both Moscow and Beijing’s influence. For many, it was more than just small talk—it was a message of strategic alignment, one that could shift the global balance of power.

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen has escalated tensions with Moscow, calling President Vladimir Putin a “predator” while urging European nations to boost their militaries against the Russian threat. Speaking in Riga during her Europe tour, von der Leyen blamed Russia for hybrid attacks, cyber operations, and weaponizing migrants. Her remarks follow Putin’s warning against Western sanctions and his show of unity with China. As the EU pushes for militarization and Moscow aligns with Beijing, Europe risks becoming a major flashpoint in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

A dramatic day unfolds in Washington as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte arrive at the White House ahead of a joint meeting with Donald Trump. The gathering, centered on Ukraine’s uncertain future, comes amid fierce Russian escalation on the battlefield and growing divisions in the West over strategy. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky already under pressure, European leaders are racing to project unity as Trump signals he will demand concessions to Moscow. The stakes are immense: the fate of Ukrainian territory, the credibility of NATO, and the balance of power in Europe hang in the balance. The arrival of these leaders sets the stage for a tense diplomatic showdown, one that could reshape the trajectory of the war — and the future of Western resolve against Russia.

A tragic accident struck Poland on Thursday when a Polish Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed during rehearsals for the AirShow Radom 2025 in central Poland. The crash, captured in a viral video, shows the aircraft performing a barrel-roll before plummeting into the ground, erupting into a massive fireball. The pilot, an officer from the 31st Tactical Air Base near Poznan, was killed in the explosion. Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the death, mourning the loss as a “great tragedy” for the Air Force. Authorities said the incident occurred around 1730 GMT (11 PM IST), with no civilian injuries reported. Following the disaster, organizers canceled the upcoming airshow. The cause of the crash remains under investigation as Poland grieves the loss of one of its military’s most experienced aviators, remembered for his courage and dedication to service.

Ukraine has issued a stark warning to Belarus amid fears that upcoming Russia-Belarus joint military drills could escalate the war. The Zapad-2025 exercises, set for September, will feature drones, electronic warfare, and Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile—previously compared to a low-yield nuclear strike. Kyiv fears Belarus may provide direct support to Russia, with the border just 100 km away. NATO has responded with 30,000 troops deployed near Poland’s border, while Moscow accuses NATO of using the drills as a pretext for escalation.

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.
