In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: As Moscow ramps up its aerial attacks on Kyiv, Russia is massing 100,000 troops in Donetsk, fueling fears that a major new offensive may be imminent. President Trump vows harsher sanctions on Russia after this weekend's strikes on the Ukrainian capital—but questions remain about whether he'll follow through. One of the deadliest shootings in Jerusalem in years leaves six people dead and dozens wounded, with Hamas quickly claiming responsibility. And in today's Back of the Brief—a warning system breakdown allows a Houthi drone to strike an Israeli airport, forcing a shutdown and injuring two.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Greenland, the US and Germany.Ukraine has this week come under its heaviest bombardment in weeks, with the UK and the EU summoning their Russian envoys after their offices in Kyiv were hit. Quentin Sommerville has been in Donetsk, the area Vladimir Putin wants to fully control in the resource rich region of the Donbas, as residents flee attacks and soldiers tell of the intensification of the battle there.Greenland's status has been thrust into the spotlight after the US president has repeatedly said he wanted to annexe the semi-autonomous nation for its strategic position and mineral wealth. And despite having broad self-government since 1979, Greenland's foreign and defence policy is made in Copenhagen. On an island of just over 55,000 people, where fishing is the primary source of income, independence for Greenland would mean either increasing tourism or allowing the mining of minerals like rare earth metals.

Morning Ireland's Cian McCormack speaks to people living in the beleagured Donetsk region, as Russia's war intensifies on Ukraine.

Edition No232 | 25-08-2025 - Russia's oil and gas industry, once a source of economic strength, an extraordinary economic and geopolitical weapons, has become a vulnerable spot, a real Achilles heel for the Russian economy, and for Putin's war machine. Russia has a strategic problem: the main processing capacities are concentrated in the Western part of the country, while fuel consumption is rising in the Far East. Fuel logistics span thousands of kilometres, and now Kilometre-long queues in Primorye are forming of consumers and businesses needing to purchase fuel. Large refineries – from Kirishi to Volgograd – are within reach of Ukrainian drones. Fuel trains are being filmed, set alight by Ukrainian drones, such as the 'derailed' Russian fuel train in Zaporizhzhia. Local media reported that Ukrainian drones struck a Russian fuel train in the Donetsk region, causing nine of the train cars to catch on fire. The drone footage was stunning and compulsive viewing. The Flamingo missile threatens facilities previously considered out of reach. Putin has a problem. His elite are getting worried – and this concern is being mirrored in the US, nominally an ally of Ukraine, but the anger and anxiety of Trump are telling – many in the US administration don't want to see Russia defeated. In that position, China and the US are aligned on outcomes. It's grotesque, immoral, hypercritical, but all evidence points towards this inconvenient truth. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putin-is-facing-a-fuel-crisis-as-ukraine-escalates-attacks-on-russian-refineries/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/22/ukraine-attacks-pipeline-that-sends-russian-oil-to-hungary-and-slovakiahttps://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-ukraine-viktor-orban-russia-oil-pipleline-drone/https://kyivindependent.com/drone-strikes-spark-fire-at-russian-gas-terminal-and-oil-refinery-media-reports/https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4029060-ukraine-strikes-syzran-oil-refinery-in-russia-general-staff-confirms.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/8/22/behind-indias-massive-russian-oil-imports-asias-richest-manhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-prices-edge-up-traders-weigh-supply-risks-2025-08-25/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/20/business/china-secures-russian-oil-orders-intl-hnkhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/parts-russia-face-gasoline-shortages-after-ukraine-struck-refineries-2025-08-21/----------TRUCK FUNDRAISER - GET A SILICON CURTAIN NAFO PATCH:Together with our friends at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub (the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade), we are teaming up to provide 2nd Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

After nearly 11 years of war, Putin's maximalist demands have shrunk to a sliver of land in Donetsk, a pyrrhic victory after countless lives lost and millions displaced. But while the Kremlin clings to a symbolic scrap of territory, we explore whether Ukraine's true future lies not in NATO membership but in becoming what political economist Harold Laswell once called a “garrison state.” What does that mean? Think of countries like Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, or even Finland in 1940: highly militarised, heavily armed by allies, but able to survive and rebuild under constant threat. Could this be Ukraine's path, a nation of 40 million people with a vast agricultural base and heavy industry, rebuilt under an American security umbrella and billions in European aid? We pull apart the history: from the Treaty of Moscow (1940) that fixed Finland's borders for decades, to Eisenhower's warning of the military–industrial complex, to the Peloponnesian War's clash of Sparta and Athens. Can democracy thrive in a garrison state? Is Europe ready to bankroll Ukraine's reconstruction? And will turning Ukraine into a military bulwark finally secure peace, or only prepare the ground for the next war? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

World diplomatic maneuverings have focused on US President Donald Trump's attempts to arrange a peace deal for Ukraine. President Putin wants Donetsk for peace, but Ukraine's main defence line has halted Russian forces from advancing further west. 

Deze week hebben we een man in de podcast die bekendstaat om zijn scherpe analyses en onafhankelijke blik: Ab Gietelink. Ab is schrijver, journalist en politiek commentator. In dit gesprek gaat hij diep in op twee brandhaarden die ons dagelijks nieuws beheersen: Rusland-Oekraïne en Israël-Palestina. Waar de meeste media oppervlakkig of éénzijdig verslag doen, legt Ab historische verbanden bloot en zet hij de geopolitieke belangen haarscherp uiteen.   Hij stelt vragen die je zelden hoort: waarom wordt Oekraïne opgeofferd in een proxy-oorlog van de NAVO? Waarom wordt Palestina al 75 jaar bezet en genegeerd door de internationale gemeenschap? En vooral: waarom zwijgt Europa over oplossingen? In deze podcast: ⚔️ De rol van de NAVO Volgens Ab is de NAVO geen gezelligheidsclub, maar “de machtigste militaire imperialistische vernietigingsmachine uit de wereldgeschiedenis”. Hij legt uit hoe de NAVO-expansie na 1990 de kiem legde voor de huidige oorlog in Oekraïne.

As part of a peace deal, Vladimir Putin wants the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. But that would mean ceding a key line of defence -- and making Ukraine vulnerable to another Russian invasion. A Canadian Labour Congress leader says it's time to throw out the labour-code rule that the Liberals have leaned on to end strikes -- at the expense of workers' rights. Canadian soldiers are allegedly caught on video at a party giving Nazi salutes -- which suggests the military still has an extremely concerning problem with extremism. Archaeologists unearth new artifacts at the homestead of John Ware -- a formerly enslaved man who became Canada's most famous cowboy.Chocolate scientists continue their life-changing work, uncovering what gives the confection its flavour -- and unlocking the stunning possibility of chocolate that could taste even better.

The M5M has their Trump hatred and Globalist West aligned talking points back on display, include classic "He's not going to stop at Ukraine", "He wants to recreate the USSR", and who could forget the sweet sound of, "This war began on 2022 and appeared out of thin air." The Alaska summit had coverage from a professional body language reader to Jake Tapper diatribes. We cover the Monday meetings, where Europeans drop everything they are doing to fly to the US to have a meeting they probably could have had over Zoom.

The story we've been told is simple: in February 2022, Vladimir Putin woke up one morning, decided to invade a peaceful, democratic Ukraine, and launched an “unprovoked war.” That's the official narrative. But history is never that simple.From the 1990s onward, Moscow warned that NATO expansion into its backyard was a red line. Gorbachev and later Yeltsin were assured that the alliance would not creep eastward. Yet step by step—Poland, Hungary, the Baltics, talk of Georgia and Ukraine—NATO advanced. To Washington, enlargement was “stability.” To Moscow, it was encirclement.The real break came in 2014. Ukraine's elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, leaned toward Moscow on trade and energy. That was unacceptable to Washington and Brussels. When mass protests erupted in Kyiv, the U.S. wasn't a bystander. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Senator John McCain both appeared on the ground, cheering the crowds. In a leaked call, Nuland infamously dismissed Europe's hesitance—“F*** the EU”—while handpicking who should form the next government. To Moscow, this was regime change with CIA, State, and USAID fingerprints all over it.The revolution ousted Yanukovych and installed a Western-leaning government. Overnight, Ukraine shifted from Moscow's orbit to Brussels'. What followed wasn't peace. In Donbas, the Russian-speaking east rose in rebellion. Kyiv responded with force. Shelling, rockets, and artillery fire turned towns into rubble. Between 2014 and 2022, more than 14,000 people died in a grinding low-intensity war. For people in Donetsk or Luhansk, the war didn't begin in 2022—it had already been burning for eight years.This backstory matters because it reframes 2022. Putin didn't invade a neutral neighbor out of nowhere. He acted after decades of ignored warnings and eight years of bloodshed in the Donbas. Was the invasion brutal? Yes. Was it unprovoked? Hardly.Critics will call this “carrying water for Putin.” But acknowledging how the West lit the fuse doesn't absolve Moscow of blame. It explains why Russia saw the stakes as existential. When Ukraine amended its constitution to commit to NATO membership, Moscow heard one message: eventually, U.S. missiles could sit 300 miles from Moscow. For a nuclear power that lost 27 million lives in World War II, this wasn't abstract.The West believed sanctions would collapse Russia's economy and that Putin would face regime change. Instead, Moscow built its own military-industrial base, deepened ties with China, India, and the BRICS bloc, and weathered the storm. Far from isolating Russia, the war accelerated a global realignment away from dollar dominance.Meanwhile, Ukraine—brilliant engineers, fertile farmland, energy transit routes—has become a pawn. Western politicians invoke democracy while oligarchs, defense contractors, and energy interests profit. Hunter Biden's Burisma board seat was not an outlier; it was a symptom of how entangled Washington had become in Ukraine's internal affairs.This isn't a defense of Russia's invasion. It's a reminder that wars don't appear overnight. They build. They escalate. They ignite only after a fuse has been laid. In Ukraine, that fuse was NATO expansion, the 2014 coup, and the long, bloody stalemate in Donbas.The world didn't start burning in 2022. We just finally saw the explosion.

Voor iedere sterveling geldt een universele waarheid: de grootste teleurstelling, wraakzucht of woede is bijna altijd het niet uitkomen van een verwachting. Wat zich sinds de ontmoeting van Trump en Poetin in Alaska afspeelt is een schoolvoorbeeld. Trump verwachtte dat hij Poetin, met een vorstelijk onthaal en een boodschap van begrip en steun, kon overhalen tot een wapenstilstand, als opmaat naar vrede in Oekraïne. Maar daarvoor kwam Poetin niet naar Alaska. Dat was geen verrassing, maar Trumps verwachting werd verpulverd. Hetzelfde gold voor de politieke leiders die, in het kielzog van Zelensky, het Witte Huis bezochten. Niet de ‘enorm grote delegatie’, zoals het werd geframed: vijf Europese leiders, een Brit en de secretaris-generaal van de NAVO is op 27 EU-lidstaten een bescheiden club. Ook zij koesterden een verwachting, namelijk dat zij een klap kwamen geven op de contouren van een door Poetin en Trump uitgewerkt vredesplan, dat ze daarin een rol zouden spelen, en dat met een week of twee Poetin en Zelensky rechtstreeks zouden onderhandelen, misschien met Trump erbij. En dat zij vredesgaranties zouden geven, met Amerikaanse steun. Dat was simpelweg allemaal niet, of niet helemaal, waar, waarmee ook de Europese verwachting werd verpulverd. De enige die wist wat hem te wachten stond en redelijk overeind bleef was Zelensky, want die begreep wat een eventueel Amerikaans-Russische vredesplan inhield en koesterde geen enkele verwachting. Evenals het Oekraïense volk, dat niet naar Washington keek, maar naar de eigen hemel, van waaruit de drones en raketten bleven neerdalen. Het Amerikaans-Russische plan was simpel: Rusland kreeg de Krim en de provincies Luhansk en Donetsk. En een garantie dat Oekraïne nooit lid zou worden van de NAVO, en dat er verkiezingen kwamen om het naziregime van Zelensky te vervangen door pro-Russische patriotten. Oekraïne mocht de provincies Zaporidja en Cherson, door de Amerikaanse onderhandelaar Witkoff met Orwelliaanse Newspeak ‘ruilgebieden’ genoemd, houden. Dus Oekraïne moest eigen grondgebied afstaan in wat een ‘ruil’ werd genoemd. Voor zover bekend, steunt Trump deze constructie. Zoals minister Rubio (buitenlandse zaken) zei: omwille van vrede moet je soms pijnlijke, oneerlijke concessies doen. De werkelijkheid is dat er helemaal geen vredesoverleg tussen Poetin en Zelensky in het verschiet ligt. Het komt wel, maar niet nu . Deze hele exercitie is aan het mislukken. Anders gezegd: er gebeurt niets onvoorspelbaars. Behalve dat allerhande regeringsleiders en analisten zich niet hebben gebaseerd op feiten maar op verwachtingen. En dus op illusies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Para Ucrania, perder el oeste de Donetsk significaría la caída de un baluarte contra cualquier futuro avance ruso.

The Kremlin is demanding that Ukraine give up the entire Donetsk Oblast as part of any ceasefire agreement. Russia analyst Kateryna Stepanenko explains why Donetsk is so important to Ukraine and why Russia wants control of it. Then, Brennan Center for Justice CEO Michael Waldman talks about President Trump's push to end mail-in voting, baselessly claiming it is "corrupt." And, Trump kicked off a nationwide race to redraw political maps after he urged Texas Republicans to draw five more GOP-leaning seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Author David Daley writes that the "true architect" of the gerrymandering fight is Chief Justice John Roberts and the conservative Supreme Court.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

//The Wire//2300Z August 18, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARGO VESSEL EXPLODES NEAR BALTIMORE HARBOR. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED FOR FLORIDA TRAFFIC ACCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE. DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS CONTINUE REGARDING UKRAINE WAR PEACE DEAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: This afternoon Starlink experienced another global outage, with services being down for all users around the world for about 15 minutes. This marks the second time this month that a major outage of the Starlink system has been reported. No cause for the outage has been provided.-HomeFront-Maryland: This afternoon a large explosion was reported onboard a cargo vessel that was transiting outbound from Baltimore, bound for Mauritius. The M/V *W SAPPHIRE* experienced an explosion in one of her forward cargo holds shortly after leaving port. Her current position remains east of Bodkin Creek, and multiple tugboats and firefighting vessels remain on scene to keep her under control.Analyst Comment: As this is a developing situation, there's no further information on what caused the blast, or the fate of the crew.Washington D.C. - This afternoon President Zelenskyy returned to the White House, continuing diplomatic efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.Analyst Comment: Regarding the potential for peace, the situation remains tenuous. Following the negotiations with Putin on Friday, Russia's position appears to be largely the same as when the war started; Russia wants the Donetsk and also the "freezing" of front lines where they are right now on all fronts. Ukraine's position is equally hardline, with Zelenskyy also reiterating Ukraine's position of ceding zero terrain in any prospective peace deal.Utah: A shooting was reported at a residence in Tremonton yesterday evening, which resulted in two police officers being killed, and one other wounded. Officers initially responded to this address due to multiple 911 hangups, and upon arrival, a barricaded shooter engaged them from within the house.Analyst Comment: What led to this shooting is unclear, but 911 hangups are frequently utilized by individuals seeking to take their own life by the actions of the police, or by those seeking to ambush authorities. In this case, the latter seems to have been the result, which turned into a protracted small arms engagement. Multiple pre-made incendiary devices were recovered from the residence after the shooting, indicating that this was a planned ambush of some kind.Florida: Vehicular homicide charges have been filed against Harjinder Singh for his role in the death of three people on the Florida Turnpike last week. Singh was attempting to conduct an illegal u-turn on the interstate, which resulted in him positioning his semi truck completely perpendicular to the road, completely blocking all lanes of traffic. Three people traveling in a minivan were unable to stop in time, colliding with the semi's trailer, resulting in their deaths.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: The case involving the crash in Florida has gained nationwide notoriety for two main reasons. Firstly, the in-cabin video showing the crash was published immediately, which not only shows the exceptionally graphic nature of the crash, but also the lack of any sort of remorse from the driver after the crash. The social reaction to this video has resulted in more focus on this case, which leads to the second reason for the attention...this case gets worse the more one digs for details.After the accident, Singh was revealed to have been an illegal immigrant from India, who crossed over the southern US border in 2018. Singh was allowed to get a driver's license in California (as this state allows illegals to get a license through the AB 60 program). From there, he was able to get his CDL license in the same state, despite federal law banning illegals f

Volodímir Zelenski visitó la Casa Blanca este lunes acompañado por siete mandatarios europeos para discutir un posible acuerdo de paz tras la reunión de Trump con Vladímir Putin en Alaska hace unos días. La relación entre Trump y Zelenski ha sido históricamente tensa. Se torció ya en 2019 cuando Trump retuvo 400 millones de dólares en ayuda militar a Ucrania y pidió investigar a Joe Biden, lo que desencadenó su primer impeachment. La invasión rusa de Ucrania y el regreso de Trump a la presidencia en 2025 empeoraron las cosas. En febrero de este año un encuentro personal en el despacho oval fue un fracaso sin paliativos. Trump y JD Vance acusaron a Zelenski de ser irrespetuoso, poco agradecido por la ayuda estadounidense y terminó expulsado de la Casa Blanca. Tras aquello la relación ha ido mejorando. En marzo, Zelenski aceptó una propuesta de alto el fuego tras las conversaciones en Arabia Saudita, rechazada luego por Putin. En abril sostuvieron un encuentro informal de 15 minutos en la basílica de San Pedro durante el funeral del papa Francisco. En mayo Trump anunció negociaciones entre Rusia y Ucrania, pero Putin se negó a dialogar directamente con Zelenski. En junio Zelenski propuso una reunión trilateral con Trump y Putin en Estambul, pero Putin la descartó, recordando que solo se reunirá con él al final de las negociaciones que mantendrá exclusivamente con EEUU. La reunión del lunes, a diferencia de la de febrero, ha tenido un tono mucho más positivo. Zelenski, respaldado por una coalición de líderes europeos como Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Ursula von der Leyen y Mark Rutte, fue recibido con elogios por Trump, que incluso alabó su atuendo. La delegación europea estaba ahí para arropar a Zelenski y evitar que se repitiese lo que pasó en febrero. Trump les correspondió anunciando una futura cumbre entre Zelenski y Putin que vendrá seguida de conversaciones trilaterales, aunque no han trascendido fechas ni lugares. Tampoco sabemos si Putin lo aceptará. La conversación giró en torno a las garantías de seguridad para Ucrania. Trump ha propuesto un esquema similar al Artículo 5 de la OTAN, pero no quiso dar más detalles. Su idea es que los ejércitos europeos se encarguen de materializar esa garantía, pero con apoyo directo de Estados Unidos. Sobre el papel pinta bien, pero el hecho es que Putin rechaza cualquier presencia militar occidental en Ucrania, lo que complicará las negociaciones cuando den comienzo. Putin exige la cesión total del Donbás, una demanda que Zelenski evita discutir, prefiere dejar el tema territorial para una negociación directa con Rusia mediada por EEUU. Trump insiste en un acuerdo basado en "intercambios territoriales", pero Ucrania se resiste a ceder más terreno, especialmente en Donetsk, donde mantiene dos ciudades bien fortificadas. A la mayor parte de los ucranianos no les parece mal congelar la línea de frente actual, pero no entregar más territorio, y que además eso venga acompañado de una serie de garantías por parte de las potencias occidentales. Para Zelenski eso supondría un problema político interno de primer orden. Los líderes europeos, entretanto, se muestran optimistas, pero dudan de la viabilidad de un acuerdo duradero si Putin no acepta un alto el fuego. La cumbre fue prometedora, pero dejó demasiados asuntos sin resolver. A eso habría que sumarle la volatilidad de Trump, que cambia con mucha frecuencia de opinión, lo que añade aún más incertidumbre sobre el futuro de las negociaciones.

Preview: Ukraine. Colleague John Hardie comments on the Russian demand that Kyiv give up the whole of Donetsk Province. More later. 1918 UKRAINE FAMILY

Putin pushes for Ukraine to give up Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for freezing the front line. Zelensky refuses, citing Ukraine's constitution. With over a million casualties, Trump, Putin, and Zelensky weigh next steps. EU leaders push back on land concessions as peace talks hang in the balance.

Today's Headlines: The Trump–Putin “summit” in Alaska dominated the weekend, though there seemed to be more bad optics than progress. Putin demanded control of Donetsk plus recognition of Russia's land grabs in Ukraine, while hinting China could offer Kyiv “security guarantees” instead of NATO. No deal came out of it, but plenty of eyebrow-raisers did: Russian FM Lavrov in a vintage USSR shirt, US troops literally rolling out a red carpet, Trump's team leaving summit documents (including Putin's lunch menu) at a hotel printer, and Putin even hopped into Trump's car for a quick chat. Journalists said Trump's staff looked “ashen,” a post-meeting lunch was mysteriously canceled, and the only follow-up so far is Trump planning a phone call with Zelensky and EU leaders. Elsewhere, Israel saw a massive general strike—organizers say about 10% of the country joined—to pressure the government into prioritizing a hostage deal over expanding the Gaza war. In the U.S., about 60 kids from Gaza arrived for medical care with the help of a nonprofit, sparking outrage from Laura Loomer and prompting the Trump administration to pause visitor visas from the territory. Back in DC, hundreds of National Guard troops from West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina are being deployed to the capital in Trump's ongoing push to control city policing—though officials insist they're not armed “at this time.” Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, are pushing a resolution to end Trump's authority over the DC police. And finally, Hurricane Erin—the first named storm of the season—rapidly jumped to a Category 5 before downgrading slightly. It's still expected to slam the Southeast as a major hurricane early this week.

Vladimir Putin is reported to have told President Trump that he wants Ukraine to hand over more of its sovereign territory in the east, in return for Moscow freezing front lines elsewhere. According to sources involved in Friday's talks in Alaska, the Russian president said it should gain all of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including parts that Ukraine currently controls. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said he will not give up sovereignty of any territory. On Monday, he is due to meet the US President Donald Trump in Washington.

Tal y como muchos analistas esperaban, la cumbre del viernes pasado entre Trump y Putin en Alaska no logró avance alguno hacia la paz en Ucrania. Dejó, eso sí, dos posibles desenlaces, ambos desfavorables para los ucranianos. En el mejor escenario, Ucrania perdería el 20% de su territorio, actualmente ocupado por Rusia, pero mantendría su soberanía. En el peor, se convertiría en un Estado satélite de Rusia, similar a Bielorrusia, perdiendo territorio y la independencia. Putin, tras la cumbre, insistió en que la guerra continuará hasta que Ucrania y Occidente acepten sus demandas de 2022. Estas incluyen eliminar las "causas profundas" de la “crisis”, un eufemismo muy utilizado por el Kremlin para expresar su oposición a que Ucrania y otros países de lo que fue la órbita soviética basculasen hacia Occidente al concluir la guerra fría. La guerra se ha convertido en puro desgaste con un frente estable desde hace casi dos años. Ucrania ha resistido con tenacidad, pero no tiene la capacidad militar para recuperar todo su territorio, ni siquiera el perdido en 2022. Zelenski ha mostrado disposición a negociar tras un armisticio que congele la línea actual del frente, pero esto plantea un problema: legitimar la ocupación rusa de una quinta parte del país podría establecer un precedente peligroso. Otros países, como China con Taiwán o India y Pakistán con Cachemira, podrían sentirse motivados a reclamar territorios por la fuerza, desestabilizando así el orden internacional. Una solución intermedia sería que Rusia controle de facto los territorios ocupados sin reconocimiento de iure, como en los casos de Osetia del Sur, Abjasia o Transnistria. Pero Putin no parece conformarse con eso, quiere más, quiere rerrusificar Ucrania, imponer un gobierno afín al Kremlin, limitar sus fuerzas armadas y rehacer su identidad nacional. Esto podría convertir a Ucrania en un protectorado ruso, un destino que los ucranianos luchan por evitar, ya que significaría renunciar a su aspiración de consolidar una democracia liberal e integrarse en la UE y la OTAN. Europa propone garantizar la seguridad del 80% restante de Ucrania con una "coalición de voluntarios" liderada por Reino Unido y Francia, que consistiría en un despliegue militar permanente con efectivos propios para disuadir a Rusia. Ahí la postura de Trump y Estados Unidos sigue siendo incierta. Un escenario similar al de la península Corea con un armisticio que congele la línea de frente, sería un fracaso para Putin, ya que, aunque retendría Crimea y partes de Donetsk, Lugansk, Jersón y Zaporiyia, el resto de Ucrania quedaría bajo protección de la OTAN, algo que considera inaceptable. Putin, entretanto, apuesta por prolongar la guerra confiando en que la economía ucraniana colapse antes que la suya. Aunque algunas sanciones como aranceles extraordinarios a los compradores de petróleo ruso podrían debilitarla, los efectos tardarían en dejarse sentir. Además, Putin ha demostrado que prioriza su obsesión con Ucrania sobre los costes económicos que pueda tener para Rusia. En Ucrania las cosas tampoco pintan bien. Pese a su admirable resistencia y al modo en el que se han ido adaptando conforme avanzaba la guerra, los ucranianos están agotados, hay problemas de reclutamiento y existe una desventaja numérica y económica evidente frente a Rusia. Aunque un derrumbe ucraniano es improbable, el desgaste podría llevar a Ucrania a aceptar una paz desfavorable si no consigue resolver antes estos problemas. La guerra seguirá su curso, pero nadie es capaz de adivinar durante cuánto tiempo más.

Welcome to Battleground! In this special episode, Patrick Bishop and Saul David unpack the stunning outcome of the Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. After waiting for details to emerge, the hosts react to what was quickly dubbed "the anticlimax in Anchorage." While there was no ceasefire, the meeting was hugely important—and not in a good way. Together they discuss how the stage was set for a Putin victory, starting with DT's "baffling" decision to welcome him as an equal. They analyse the bizarre post-summit silence from Trump, contrast it with Putin's historical narrative, and dissect the disturbing details that have since come to light. They also cover Russia's demand for all of Donetsk, Trump's alleged pressure on Zelenskyy to accept a deal, and the implications for Zelenskyy's upcoming visit to Washington.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover explosive new evidence of an Obama-era conspiracy against Donald Trump, major shifts in U.S. manufacturing and agriculture, high-stakes diplomacy before the Trump–Putin meeting, the collapse of Ukraine's front lines, and a mysterious American drone mission deep into Mexico. Newly Declassified Email Exposes Obama-Era Conspiracy: A Top Secret 2016 email from NSA Director Mike Rogers to James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey reveals deep concerns over Obama's rushed Intelligence Community Assessment on alleged Trump–Russia collusion. The correspondence confirms intelligence officials were pressured to rubber-stamp a politically driven report that included the discredited Steele Dossier. Bryan details why this is foundational evidence of a seditious conspiracy. GE Appliances Moves Production Back to the U.S.: Trump's tariff strategy prompts GE Appliances, formerly owned by a Chinese company, to relocate manufacturing of ranges and refrigerators from Mexico and China to plants in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina, creating 1,000 new jobs. U.S. Farm and Ranch Report: Bred heifer prices hit record highs as cattle herd sizes remain at 1950s lows, keeping beef prices elevated. Favorable rains and cheaper feed are encouraging herd rebuilding, while the dangerous New World screwworm threatens to cross the border from Mexico. Crop conditions are generally good, but trade restrictions tied to tariffs are shifting agricultural export strategies. Mexico Sends 26 Cartel Members to U.S. Custody: President Claudia Sheinbaum transfers dangerous cartel figures to the United States, defying Mexico's constitution under technical loopholes. The move follows White House pressure to prevent cartel leaders from escaping Mexican prisons and resuming drug and human trafficking operations. Trump and European Allies Set Ukraine Negotiation Red Lines: Ahead of tomorrow's Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Trump and European leaders agree on five conditions for peace talks, including a cease-fire, starting territorial discussions from current front lines, and securing binding Western security guarantees. European leaders will not attend the Alaska talks, leaving the White House to own the negotiations and their outcome. Ukraine's Front Lines Near Collapse: Russian forces, bolstered by North Korean mercenaries, gain six miles in the Donetsk region through relentless “meat wave” assaults. Ukrainian soldiers are frustrated with leadership, and public support for the war has collapsed, with 69 percent now favoring a negotiated settlement. Bryan warns that without fresh troops or a change in strategy, Ukraine risks losing the entire country. U.S. Drone Conducts Deep Strike Recon in Mexico: An American MQ-9 Reaper drone flew 600 miles into cartel-controlled territory in Michoacán before shutting off its transponders. The mission likely signals upcoming U.S. military action against cartels, with or without Mexican government cooperation, as Trump accelerates his campaign against foreign and domestic enemies.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Obama-era Trump-Russia conspiracy, declassified Mike Rogers email, GE Appliances reshoring, U.S. cattle herd prices, New World screwworm threat, Mexico extradites cartel members, Trump Putin Alaska meeting, Ukraine front lines collapse, Donetsk Russian advance, U.S. drone Mexico cartel mission

As Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin prepare to meet, Patrick and Saul dissect the unsettling details of a proposed peace deal for Ukraine, including Trump's suggested "land-swapping," which could force Ukraine to cede critical territory, including the heavily fortified "fortress belt" in Donetsk. They also discuss a controversial proposal to model the deal after Israel's occupation of the West Bank and analyse what this would mean for President Zelenskyy, Ukraine's constitution, and the future of the war Also on the podcast is a fascinating report from the frontline Donbas city of Kramatorsk by friends of the Podcast Julius Strauss, Boldi Gyori, and Kimberley Reczek.

President Poetin en president Trump praten vrijdag in Alaska over een Russisch voorstel voor een staakt-het-vuren in Oekraïne. In Poetins plan moet Zelensky de regio’s Donetsk en Loehansk opgeven. De Oekraïense president heeft dat resoluut afgewezen. Wat kunnen we van de ontmoeting verwachten en hoe staat het ervoor aan het front?

durée : 00:06:02 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Juliette Micheneau - Dans la région de Donetsk sous occupation russe, les habitants demandent des comptes à l'autorité de Moscou face aux pénuries d'eau devenues récurrentes après la destruction de nombreuses infrastructures dans l'offensive contre l'Ukraine.

Amerikan ve Rus devlet başkanlarının bir araya gelmesinden günler önce Ukrayna Devlet Başkanı Volodimir Zelenski, barış için Rusya'ya toprak verilmesi ihtimalini reddetti. Ayrıca e Ukrayna'nın katkısı olmadan kalıcı bir barış anlaşmasının sağlanamayacağını söyledi. Alaska'da gerçekleşecek Putin Trump toplantısı öncesinde Rusya, Ukrayna'nın Donetsk bölgesinin kontrolünü ele geçirmek için operasyonlarını yoğunlaştırdı ve Rus güçleri Pokrovsk şehri çevresindeki önemli bir bölgeyi ele geçirmek üzere.

Europa spartelt, Zelensky bungelt, Trump spreekt in cryptogrammen, en alleen Poetin leunt tevreden achterover. Hoe deze week ook afloopt, hij is de zwarte band judoka die alle spelers in het Oekraïense drama moeiteloos tegen de mat knalt. Hij wilde Trump ontmoeten en krijgt zijn zin. Hij wilde dat in de Russische oud-kolonie Alaska en krijgt zijn zin. Hij wilde geen Zelensky en krijgt zijn zin. Hij wilde geen Europa en krijgt zijn zin. Trump presenteert het als de Donald Show, maar het is de Vladimir Show. We weten wat Trump wil: een bestandlijn langs het huidige front, en alles rechts daarvan aan Rusland toewijzen, en alles aan de linkerkant aan Oekraïne. Niets nieuws, want dat wil hij al sinds zijn presidentscampagne. Volgens de Britse Telegraph is Zelensky wel bereid tot een territoriale concessie, maar niet van deze omvang. Er gaat een gerucht dat Poetin van de vier door hem geannexeerde provincies Luhansk en Donetsk wil houden, maar Zaporizja en Cherson wel wil opgeven. Wie het gelooft, mag zijn vinger opsteken. Het is bij het zielige af om te zien hoe Europa, inclusief het VK, maar exclusief Hongarije, probeert mee te praten. En Zelensky zijn land machteloos ziet verkwanselen. Wat trouwens de vraag oproept wie namens Europa met Trump zou moeten praten. Als ooit duidelijk was dat Europa geen leider heeft en feitelijk stuurloos is, dan is het nu. Een gezamenlijke verklaring luidde: ‘het Oekraïense volk moet de vrijheid hebben zelf over zijn toekomst te beslissen’. En ‘internationale grenzen mogen niet door geweld worden veranderd’. Geniale teksten, toch? Het grootste enigma is Donald Trump, een soort weerman die zijn verwachting dagelijks bijstelt. Eerst stond zijn plan als een huis: beetje grenscorrecties, een belofte dat Oekraïne geen NAVO-lid zou worden en hup, een paraaf eronder. Een dag later werd het ‘veel succes met de voortzetting van de oorlog, of ik kan misschien zeggen dat we een deal hebben’. Nog weer een dag later: ‘misschien moeten we maar zien wat eruit komt’. Zoals gezegd: Trump spreekt in cryptogrammen. Poetin gaat vast iets doen wat hij zelden doet: glimlachen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a summit on Aug 15 in Alaska, both leaders confirmed this week. The meeting marks their first in-person talks since 2021 and follows months of escalating US pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.两位领导人本周证实，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京将于8月15日在阿拉斯加举行峰会。这次会议标志着他们自2021年以来的首次面对面会谈，此前数月，美国在乌克兰冲突问题上对俄罗斯的压力不断升级。‘Trump announced the meeting via his Truth Social platform on Aug 8, stating, "Will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week — big things on the table!" Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the details hours later, noting the talks would focus on a "long-term peaceful solution for Ukraine".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 The choice of Alaska — where Russia and the US are separated by around 85 kilometers across the Bering Strait — carries deep historical weight. Putin will become the first Russian leader to visit Alaska, a region Russia sold to the US in 1867. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy welcomed the event, calling the state "a bridge between nations".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 In remarks on Aug 8, Trump hinted at potential land swaps between Ukraine and Russia, stating, "We're actually going to take back some land and exchange some...There will be territorial adjustments beneficial to both sides." While he provided no specifics, sources indicate US and Russian officials are drafting proposals involving recognition of Russian-controlled territories (Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea) in exchange for Russia relinquishing claims to Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Trump also asserted his interventions prevented the Ukraine crisis from escalating into "World War III".在8月8日的讲话中，特朗普暗示乌克兰和俄罗斯之间可能会进行土地交换，他说：“我们实际上会收回一些土地并交换一些……领土调整对双方都有利。”虽然他没有提供具体细节，但消息人士表示，美国和俄罗斯官员正在起草涉及承认俄罗斯控制的领土（卢甘斯克、顿涅茨克、克里米亚）的提案，以换取俄罗斯放弃对赫尔松和扎波里日亚的主权要求。特朗普还声称，他的干预措施防止了乌克兰危机升级为“第三次世界大战”。 On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, excluded from the summit, urgently coordinated with European leaders after Trump declared Putin did not need to meet him first. In a video address, Zelensky insisted Russia must "initiate a ceasefire" and stressed Europe's role in ensuring "just and lasting peace".周五，被排除在峰会之外的乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在特朗普宣布普京不需要先会见他后，紧急与欧洲领导人协调。泽连斯基在视频讲话中坚称，俄罗斯必须“启动停火”，并强调欧洲在确保“公正持久和平”方面的作用。 Meanwhile, according to American news media platform Axios, senior US, Ukrainian, and European officials will gather this weekend in London to align positions, fearing Trump may accept Putin's terms without consulting allies.与此同时，据美国新闻媒体平台Axios报道，美国、乌克兰和欧洲高级官员将于本周末在伦敦聚集，以调整立场，担心特朗普可能会在不咨询盟友的情况下接受普京的条款。 The US-Russian summit occurs just days after Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods to punish New Delhi for buying Russian oil — a move underscoring his pressure campaign on Moscow. European leaders, though briefed by Trump, were reportedly "stunned" by their exclusion from the talks. Kremlin aide Ushakov acknowledged preparations "won't be easy", and revealed Russia has invited Trump for a follow-up meeting on Russian soil.就在几天前，特朗普对印度商品征收25%的关税，以惩罚新德里购买俄罗斯石油，此举突显了他对莫斯科的压力。据报道，尽管特朗普向欧洲领导人介绍了情况，但他们被排除在谈判之外，这让他们“震惊”。克里姆林宫助手乌沙科夫承认，准备工作“并不容易”，并透露俄罗斯已邀请特朗普在俄罗斯领土上举行后续会议。 initiate a ceasefiren.启动停火/ɪˈnɪʃieɪt ə ˈsiːsˌfaɪə/ stunnedn.惊呆了/stʌnd/

El pasado miércoles Putin presentó al Gobierno de Estados Unidos una propuesta de alto el fuego para Ucrania. La propuesta incluye concesiones territoriales importantes por parte de Ucrania, como ceder el Donbás (las provincias de Donetsk y Lugansk) y reconocer oficialmente las reclamaciones rusas en Crimea a cambio de un armisticio. Más allá de esto poco se sabe, los detalles específicos no han trascendido, lo que ha provocado que tanto los ucranianos como sus aliados europeos se lo tomen con mucha cautela. Trump respondió rápidamente anunciando una reunión con Putin en Alaska el próximo día 15, es decir, este mismo viernes. Esta será la primera vez en casi una década que Putin pisa suelo estadounidense. La última fue un encuentro con Barack Obama en Nueva York allá por el mes de septiembre de 2015. Eso no ha sido obstáculo para que Trump y Putin mantuviesen una relación fluida durante el primer mandato de Trump. Se reunieron personalmente en una serie de cumbres del G20 (las de 2017, 2018 y 2019) e incluso llegaron a organizar una cumbre bilateral en Helsinki en 2018. Su sintonía personal es evidente, lo que contrasta con la tensa relación entre Trump y el presidente ucraniano, Volodímir Zelenski, marcada desde el principio por el desprecio mutuo. Zelenski ha rechazado ceder territorio y exige participar en cualquier negociación. Los Gobiernos europeos, informados directamente por Trump, comparten esta postura y ven la propuesta de Putin como una posible maniobra para evitar nuevas sanciones occidentales mientras la guerra continúa su curso. Rusia ocupa actualmente gran parte de Donetsk, Zaporiyia, Jersón y la totalidad de Lugansk y Crimea, territorios que anexionó formalmente en 2022. La propuesta de Putin implica que Ucrania retire sus tropas de Donetsk a cambio de un alto el fuego, pero no está claro si Rusia se retiraría de Zaporiyia y Jersón. En la Casa Blanca creen que Putin trata de congelar las líneas de frente actuales para negociar el control total de Zaporiyia y Jersón, pero sin ofrecer garantías claras a Ucrania. Trump considera la oferta interesante en tanto que Putin esta vez pide menos que hace sólo unos meses. La propuesta actual constaría de dos fases. En la primera Ucrania se retiraría de Donetsk y comenzaría un armisticio con las línea de frente actual. En la segunda Trump y Putin negociarían un tratado de paz definitivo que posteriormente presentarían a Zelenski. Ucrania y Europa rechazan ceder territorio sin armisticio y garantías de seguridad como la posible entrada de Ucrania en la OTAN, algo que Putin descarta de plano. Los europeos, liderados por Francia, Alemania y el Reino Unido, insisten en que cualquier acuerdo debe incluir a Ucrania y al resto de Europa que se ha involucrado en su defensa. La propuesta europea, presentada este mismo fin de semana, exige reciprocidad territorial y un alto el fuego incondicional. Entretanto, el ejército ruso ha intensificado sus ataques contra Ucrania, especialmente contra infraestructura y objetivos civiles, lo que hace dudar de la sinceridad de Putin y su voluntad de poner fin a esto. La presión que ha ejercido sobre él Trump en las últimas semanas con un ultimátum y amenazando con imponer sanciones a a países como la India por comprar petróleo ruso, parece haber forzado esta oferta de paz. Parece un buen momento, pero la simpatía que Trump tiene a Putin y su deseo de resolver el conflicto rápidamente podrían complicar las negociaciones para Ucrania y sus aliados, que tratan de evitar una salida en falso con concesiones inaceptables.

C dans l'air du 11 août 2025 - Sommet sur l'Ukraine : et si Trump réussissait ?Emission présentée par Salhia BrakhliaUne rencontre pour sceller l'issue de la guerre en Ukraine ? Trois ans et demi après le début de l'invasion russe, le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé, sur son réseau Truth Social, qu'il allait rencontrer en personne son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine, ce vendredi, en Alaska. Ce sommet fait grincer les dents des Ukrainiens car, pour l'heure, Volodymyr Zelensky n'a pas été convié aux discussions. D'autant que les déclarations de l'hôte de la Maison blanche sur de possibles "échanges de territoires" n'ont pas rassuré. Des déclarations qui laissent entrevoir que Donald Trump serait tenté de vouloir régler la guerre en Ukraine "comme un conflit entre magnats de l'immobilier", selon les mots du journal allemand Der Spiegel. Moscou convoite et revendique en effet la souveraineté sur la totalité de plusieurs oblasts, dont certains ne sont aujourd'hui qu'en partie sous le contrôle de ses armées, en échange de la paix. Selon le Wall Street Journal, les régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk, en plus de la Crimée, sont concernées.Inquiétudes chez les Ukrainiens donc, mais aussi chez les Européens. De nombreux dirigeants se sont appelés tout le week-end, souhaitant organiser une contre-attaque. Ils ont rappelé hier la nécessité de maintenir la pression sur le Kremlin. S'ils ont conservé un ton diplomatique et salué "le travail du président Trump pour arrêter le massacre en Ukraine", les dirigeants français, italien, allemand, polonais, britannique et finlandais, ainsi que la présidente de la Commission européenne se sont dit convaincus dans un communiqué commun que "seule une approche combinant une diplomatie active, un soutien à l'Ukraine et une pression sur la Fédération de Russie" pouvait réussir.Relégués au rang de simples observateurs, c'est sans eux qu'une nouvelle page de l'histoire va donc peut-être s'écrire vendredi entre deux présidents qui ne se sont pas rencontrés depuis 2019.Très loin de ces négociations, la guerre continue de faire rage sur le sol ukrainien. Une équipe de C dans l'air s'est rendue autour d'un point de stabilisation, situé très proche de la ligne de front. Les sodats blessés y sont évacués pour être ensuite répartis dans les centres de soins. Ils peuvent s'y reposer avant de repartir sur le front. Sur place, les combattants épuisés après trois années de guerre confient rester déterminés à ne rien lâcher. Ils continueront de se battre, car il est pour eux absolument hors de quetions de renoncer à des parties de territoire. Il leur est impossible d'envisager une telle issue pour leur pays.Mais auront-ils le choix s'ils se revrouvent abandonnés par Donald Trump au terme de ces néociations ? Ce dernier se rêve en effet en faiseur de paix. L'obtention du prix de Nobel de la Paix semble même devenue pour lui une véritable obsession. Elle est née d'une rancœur et d'une jalousie tenace vis-à-vis de Barack Obama, que Donald Trump jalouse et déteste. L'ancien président américain avait obtenu ce prix en 2009, neuf mois à peine après son arrivée à la Maison-Blanche. Trump n'a jamais digéré cette distinction. Il a récemment déclaré qu'il aurait déjà dû l'avoir quatre ou cinq fois. Il n'a pas ménagé sa peine en ce sens.N'est-ce pas à son initiative qu'après des années de conflit territorial, l'Azerbaizjan et l'Arménie, se sont engagées vendredi dernier à instaurer une paix permanente ? Mais pour l'heure, en dépit de ses efforts et de ses espoirs, ses écheccs restent patents. Le conflit en Ukraine, qu'il avait promis de régler en 24 heures ne semble pas sur le point de cesser et la bande de Gaza est toujours soumise à la très brutale invasion israélienne.LES EXPERTS :- Bruno TERTRAIS - Directeur adjoint de la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique - Conseiller géopolitique à l'Institut Montaigne- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter - France 24- Marie JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie – « Le Monde » - Ancienne correspondante à Moscou- Oksana MELNYCHUK - Politologue ukrainienne - Présidente de Unis pour l'Ukraine

Edition No218 | 07-08-2025 - Ukraine is striking at the core of Russia's war machine—not on the front lines, but behind them—through surgical attacks on key logistics hubs.On the night of 5–6 August 2025, Ukrainian drones struck the Tatsinskaya railway junction in Russia's Rostov region. The hub serves as a frontline artery for transport of troops, ammunition, fuel and equipment into the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.Reports confirm fires at the rail yard, damage to infrastructure, and disruption of rail services. These are not isolated incidents—they join a deliberate and escalating campaign targeting Russia's logistics deep inside its territory. (Militarnyi.com)According to multiple Ukrainian outlets: the drone strike “ignited fire at a key railway hub in the Rostov Oblast”, specifying damage to locomotive tracks and fuel tank railcars. Firefighters responded overnight, extinguishing major flames by dawn 6th August. (United24media.com)Russian evacuation reports around the time confirm passenger train services halted for hours, and overhead electrification systems were disrupted. Though civilian casualties were not reported, rail logistics in the region were significantly delayed.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—Russia's summer offensive against Ukraine intensifies, as Moscow's forces attempt to take full control of the eastern Donetsk region. The advances come as a Russian drone and missile bombardment killed more than a dozen civilians and wounded hundreds more in Kyiv on Thursday, leaving little hope that Vladimir Putin will capitulate to President Donald Trump's August 8 ceasefire deadline. Later in the show—declassified documents allege Hillary Clinton plotted with members of the DNC, George Soros' Open Society Foundation, and the highest levels of government to create and elevate the Trump–Russia collusion narrative. Plus—an alarming new report warns that the mullahs of Iran are stepping up efforts to carry out attacks against Jewish targets across Europe, while intensifying their persecution of religious minorities inside the Islamic regime. In our 'Back of the Brief—we turn to Syria, where U.S. military forces recently took out a senior leader of the Islamic State and two other ISIS militants in a daring ground raid.
