Russia continues deadly Ukraine attacks despite Trump-Putin peace talks

Russia is not backing down from attacking Ukraine and pummailed it with missiles and drones on Thursday – President Donald Trump attempts to carry forward the peace deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Encourage, Alaska a few weeks after.

This attack may be an indication that Putin is using diplomacy to buy more time to carry on his goals and continues to attack Ukraine, avoiding all secondary restrictions, which the Trump administration has threatened to impose according to experts.

The time of acting is now, according to the rape don Beckon, R-Nab.

Bacon said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday, “Putin is advancing President Trump and the extra time is helping Russia to continue the bombing campaign against Ukrainian cities.” “For a long time, Trump refuses to impose secondary sanctions against Russia and send high -end weapons to Ukraine, the more he looks like a sim for Putin. For Trump, moral clarity is beyond time for moral clarity and comes strong to help in democracy being attacked by Russian thugs.”

A retired Air Force Brigadier General Bacon, who is not demanding reunion in 2026, said that the discussion with Putin has proved fruitless and indicated that Putin is not serious about a deal.

“We have seen zero results from the negotiations, as far as Putin is ready to compromise,” Bacon said. “Although I think the demand for conversation was initially meaningful, it was shown that Putin does not want peace.”

The White House has stated that Trump has made more progress in two weeks to solve the struggle than its predecessor, former President who Biden, in more than three years, and pointed to Trump’s meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodimare Zelansky on each other’s days.

White House spokesman Anna Kelly said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday, “President Trump’s national security team continues to attach to a bilateral meeting with Russian and Ukrainian officials to prevent murder and end the war.”

Trump announced on 14 July that he would sign “Gambhir Tariff” against Russia if Moscow failed to agree to a peace agreement within 50 days. He then dramatically reduced the time limit to 10–12 days – which ended on 8 August. But instead of lying on additional sanctions against Russia, Trump met Putin in Alaska a week later and achieved a major success at the meeting.

Nevertheless, the progress arising from the meeting seems limited. Russia did not agree to a ceasefire, and while Trump initially stated that a tripartite meeting with both Putin and Zelanski was in work, Russia has shown indifferent in such a meeting.

Russian External Affairs Minister Sergei Lavarov said in an interview with NBC News August 22 that no meeting was scheduled and Putin would only agree to one if certain conditions were already approved. It is not so, he said.

“Putin is ready to meet with Zelansky when the agenda is ready for a peak, and this agenda is not ready at all,” Lavrov said.

Meanwhile, Russia on Thursday attacked a massive attack against Kiev, employing around 600 drones and decoys, killing more than 20 people. In response, the United Nations Security Council set an emergency meeting for Friday, as per the request of Ukraine and several other European colleagues.

During the administration of former President Barack Obama, a former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFall said in a post on X that Putin has only extended the attacks against Ukraine after Alaska’s meeting, and said that Putin is “openly joking” Trump.

“I hope Mr. Trump and his team understand how Putin is spit on his face,” McFall said in a post on X on Thursday.

Additionally, Putin is on the fact that he can sideline economic results, and as long as he should have a serious interaction on a deal, according to the steven pyifer who served as the US ambassador in Ukraine during the administration of former President Bill Clinton.

“I think Putin is actually string with the President,” Pifar told Fox News Digital. “Putin still believes that he can achieve his goals, a visitor Ukraine on the battlefield.

“I am not yet seeing that there is any serious step that the administration has instigated any punishment on Putin,” Pifar said. “I think Putin felt that, and until Putin is rejected by the notion, he is going to maintain the missing time limit.”

Historically, Russia’s demands for a peace deal include preventing Ukraine from joining NATO at any time, as well as concessions on some limits that were previously from Ukraine.

Peter Rough, a senior fellow and director of the center of Europe and Eurasia at the Hudson Institute Think Tank, said that because Putin knows that the US is eager to end the war, Putin’s peace deal requirements are an attempt to turn the heat on Ukraine.

After Trump’s meeting with Putin and ahead of his meeting with Zelansky, the US President put Ons on Ukraine to end the war – and said that Ukraine could immediately end the war if he agreed to agree to Crimea to Russia, and left his dialect for NATO membership.

“Putin succeeded in reducing American sanctions in Alaska and is the content of moving away in Ukraine,” Rough on Monday told Fox News Digital. “But he also believes that the US wants this war to end, so it has taken forward a proposal for the purpose of appealing to Washington that the US will pressurize Ukraine to accept its terms. If it can divide the transitantic alliance into the way, all are better. It all helps in removing additional US restrictions.”

John Hardy, Deputy Director of Russia’s program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy said that Putin is not interested in agreeing for a deal until his terms are involved in it. Meanwhile, Putin is using diplomacy to avoid economic results, Hardy said.

“I think Putin wants a deal – but only if it’s on his terms,” ​​Hardy said on Fox News Digital Monday. “Until this happens, it is bent on continuing the war, and Russia wants to use diplomacy to harden American economic pressure and redirected Trump’s Ire from Moscow to Kiev.”
