The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russiaâs devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be âno summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,â while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would âobviouslyâ be no summit despite Donald Trumpâs dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after âtangible progress,â 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.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pushing back against Donald Trumpâs peace initiative, demanding a Russian ceasefire before any summit with Putin and Zelensky can proceed. Merz warned that credibility of negotiations depends on Moscow halting attacks, urging European leaders to pressure Putin. He confirmed discussions with U.S. and EU partners on security guarantees for Ukraine but cautioned Putinâs participation in talks remains uncertain. While Trump pushes for direct negotiations, Merz insists Europe must play a central role in shaping long-term security arrangements.

Trumpâs latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelenskyâs urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macronâleaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trumpâs rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putinâs stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATOâs Mark Rutte. This comes after Trumpâs Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this âsurrender deal,â warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trumpâs transactional âAmerica Firstâ diplomacyâfocused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spendingâclashes directly with Europeâs push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

U.S. President Donald Trump is signaling a tougher stance on Russia as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that all options remain open for new sanctions amid Moscowâs intensified bombardment of Ukraine. Bessent called Putinâs actions âdespicable and defiant,â marking the strongest hint yet of looming economic penalties. Despite Trumpâs earlier hopes for diplomacy after his Alaska summit with Putin, frustration is mounting as Russian strikes escalate, fueling speculation that sanctionsâor even broader confrontationâcould push the U.S. and Russia closer to all-out conflict.
