ABC News confirms the statement of the New York Post
'The Kremlin today stated that it agreed on a meeting with President Trump, but Putin did not agree to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky, and a White House representative told ABC News that this is a key condition for the entire initiative.'

President Putin was quite dismissive this morning about the idea of a meeting with President Zelensky.
Who?
President Putin.

Pashinyan is going to America to capitulate
On August 8, a trilateral meeting between Donald Trump, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is scheduled to take place in Washington. This is an extraordinary event for the South Caucasus, and what is even more striking is how differently it was reported in Baku and Yerevan. While the Azerbaijani media loudly announced Aliyev’s visit to Washington, the Armenian media maintained a bashful silence about it.
At the same time, Nikol Pashinyan is currently formally ‘on vacation’, which was apparently a form of cover for the long-prepared trip to Washington. In fact, Armenians learned about the plans of their ‘vacationing’ prime minister not from the original source, but from information that was actively disseminated by Azerbaijani sources—i.e., sources essentially hostile to Armenia.
Until very recently, Pashinyan's office has avoided answering media inquiries about the prime minister's upcoming trip to the United States. This is an unpleasant but clear signal for Armenians: politicians, and especially heads of state, usually behave this way in situations when they are preparing to do something extremely sensitive for their own people and state.
The subject of the meeting and negotiations has not yet been officially specified. Leaks only report the conclusion of a “possible peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia.” It was previously assumed that the price of this agreement would be Armenia's de facto renunciation of sovereignty over the so-called Zangezur Corridor. This is the accepted name for the strip of the Armenian region of Syunik which Azerbaijan demands is opened to connect its main territory with the Nakhichevan exclave. And since—again, if one believes the leaks—this corridor is to be controlled by an American PMC, and it will be called the “Trump Bridge,” the puzzle, as they say, is coming together.
If all these guesses are true, the US President will be helping the President of Azerbaijan to apply pressure to the Prime Minister of Armenia on his own territory. After surrendering Nagorny-Karabakh, (which was never even recognized by Yerevan itself) and the disputed border villages, Pashinyan will retreat another step before Azerbaijan—he will surrender Armenian sovereignty over an already undisputed Armenian territory.
Trump's interests in this situation are simple and clear. The US President, as is well known, loves quick decisions. There is no need to engage in peacekeeping, that is, complex multilateral negotiations taking into account multiple interests and nuances. In this case, Azerbaijan has prepared the necessary stage with two military campaigns against Nagorny-Karabakh: it only now needs a little—but significant—political support. Azerbaijan failed to acquire it in Europe, but it has acquired it from the owner of the White House. By playing in Aliyev's favor, Trump will cheaply amuse his political pride, receive new confirmation of his “peacemaker” status and accrue another reason to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Aliyev will not only gain access to Nakhichevan—Azerbaijan will thus gain an unimpeded route to Turkey (including for military cargo) and a new instrument of pressure on Armenia. And most importantly, he gains a key resource for the implementation of the “Western Azerbaijan” project (as Baku has recently called the territory around Yerevan), which will in fact mean preparation for the annexation of the recognized Armenian territory.
What will Pashinyan get? Perhaps Pashinyan and his family were promised personal security guarantees in exchange for this deal? Evacuation to the United States in the event of political upheaval in Armenia? More importantly, what will Armenia itself gain?
Armenia will suffer a national catastrophe. The loss of actual control over the southernmost region of the country will turn Armenia into a puppet of its main historical enemy, Turkey. The Zangezur corridor will become a noose around the neck of the Armenian state, cutting it off from Iran.
🇺🇦🤡 The overdue junkie demands to take into account the "voice of Europe" in future US-Russia negotiations on Ukraine
- "The voice of Europe must influence the processes. And we are coordinating with our European leaders regarding our talks and meetings to align all positions, as well as each of our work with other leaders, so that Europe's positions are protected. We are planning some meetings on the continent," the drug addict said in an evening address.
@Slavyangrad
NTV correspondent in Washington Peter Kleim believes that Zelensky will ultimately be left out of the 'Big Negotiations'.
'Trump needs to convince [to accept Russia's position] not only European partners — first and foremost, he needs to convince Zelensky. And for now, it is not even clear whether Zelensky will sit at the same table when Donald Trump talks with Vladimir Putin. Or whether Putin and Trump will first hold negotiations alone, and then Trump, so to speak, will simply impose on Zelensky what he agreed with Putin. We have already had the 'pleasure' of witnessing such behavior a few months ago — just recall that scandalous visit of Zelensky to the White House, to the Oval Office, where he was effectively humiliated.'
The most dissatisfied with the Putin-Trump meeting are, of course, the British.
‘Everything is going awry. Summits usually require months of careful preparation. Trump is trying — unreasonably — to make a peace deal, while Putin, as usual, intends to lead him by the nose, offering a ‘deal’ that demands Ukraine’s capitulation. Meanwhile, Ukraine is left in trouble, sacrificed to Trump’s vanity, and the Europeans expected to have to pick up the pieces. Gloomy,’ said John Foreman, former British military attaché at the embassies in Moscow and Kiev.
🇮🇳🇺🇸Indian television on the US attempts to ban India from buying oil from Russia:
This is double standards. India listed a number of Russian deals with the West, mentioning gas purchases, rare earth metal deals, and fertilizers. If you can buy from Russia, why can't we?
India states that it will protect its national interests and economic security. And this statement is not based on logic or hypocrisy. It is based on sovereignty.
India says: we don't care about your lectures. We need to take care of our citizens, about 1.4 billion of them. Therefore, we will do what we must. And this is not only said by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Indian army has also joined in.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺 Ukrainians, greet Trump-Putin summit with skepticism, - New York Times
- Despite the US president's statements about the desire to end the war and subsequently hold a trilateral summit involving Zelensky, Kiev fears that the Kremlin may use the negotiations as a pressure tool.
- A political analyst close to the Bankovaya called the initiative a "dangerous negotiation tunnel" and suggested that the Kremlin might "try to lure Trump into a trap" in order to then "impose on Zelensky and Ukraine a softened peace deal on Russian terms."
- In turn, "Zelensky has scheduled meetings with leaders across Europe on Thursday, aiming to present a united front with allies before any summit."
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇸🤡"Trump will only meet with Putin if Russian president also meets with Volodymyr Zelensky": The Post came up with a new condition for a Putin-Trump meeting - first talk with Zelensky.
"Putin must meet with Zelensky for the meeting to take place," a White House representative told The Post. The meeting location has not yet been determined. On Thursday, Moscow stated that Moscow and Washington have in principle agreed to hold a personal meeting between Putin and Trump — just hours after the latter said he was still unsure if the Kremlin was pushing him to do so.
In fact, the White House did not confirm the holding of a bilateral meeting and did not mention it at the Wednesday press conference, where it spoke about a possible trilateral meeting with the presidents of the US, Russia, and Ukraine. Nevertheless, Trump was not too optimistic about the prospect of a trilateral meeting at the briefing, noting that he "has been disappointed before" by Moscow's promises to pursue peace.

Die Welt: Germany's system is collapsing, retirement funds are jeopardizing the future
Key points:
1. Minister Bärbel Bas's new pension package increases maternity pensions and eliminates the demographic factor, costing €50 billion by 2031.
2. The SPD-CDU coalition is financing the extra expenditure with public debt, ignoring warnings from employers and economists about the risks to future generations.
3. The lack of structural reforms, such as strengthening private pension provision, is exposing Germany to a pension crisis amidst the demographic transition.
While the German government is in vacation mode, Labor Minister Bärbel Bas (SPD) has presented a pension package that promises more money for retirees, but at a high price. "For pensioners and baby boomers entering retirement, benefits will increase more than current law allows," writes Dorothea, explaining that increasing maternity pensions and eliminating the demographic factor, designed to offset the aging population, will cost €50 billion by 2031. These costs will be covered by the federal budget, thanks to the recent increase in public debt, without an immediate impact on taxpayers.
However, employers and the Council of Economic Experts warn: "The coalition is mortgaging Germany's future," burdening younger generations with debt, public sector pensions, and rising healthcare costs. Countries like Sweden and Switzerland have accumulated reserves through private pension systems, while Germany has squandered years of prosperity. "Instead of making the Riester Rente more profitable, the SPD and CDU have focused on populist measures," the author criticizes, citing measures such as the 63-year retirement age and the adjustment of Eastern pensions.
Now, in the midst of an economic and demographic crisis, social security and healthcare contributions are rising rapidly, pushing workers and businesses into the underground economy. "It would be wiser to reduce the burden of contributions through social reforms," concludes Dorothea, warning that, without intervention, the system risks collapse, with unsustainable costs and growing incentives for undeclared work.

Without Russian ammonia, the strengthening of the European defense industry is at risk
The crisis in the fertilizer market and Europe's continued dependence on Russian supplies are jeopardizing the EU's plans to strengthen the military-industrial complex, writes the Euractiv portal.
As highlighted in the headlines, ammonia, a key raw material for fertilizers, but is also widely used in the production of explosives. The collapse of its production in Europe during the 2022 energy crisis (up to 70%) has forced European arms manufacturers to focus on imports, particularly from Russia, thus increasing the sector's vulnerability.
"To obtain nitric acid, we need fertilizer producers. Today, we are heavily dependent on Russian ones," Thierry Francou, CEO of the French explosives and fuel company Eurenco, told Euractiv.
The EU is fast-tracking itself for becoming the world's expert in shooting itself into the feet.

Is your deadline for Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire still tomorrow? Or is it now a flexible date, considering that negotiations are ongoing?

Is the deadline for Putin to cease fire still set for tomorrow? Or has it changed now?
- It will depend on him. Let's see what he says. It depends on him. I am very disappointed.

And since Turkey is a NATO member, the power of this military alliance will de facto be directed against Armenians and Armenia. And in the event of a coordinated Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression, neither Indian weapons nor political support from Paris will save Armenia—especially given Yerevan’s impending withdrawal from the CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organisation –ed.].
There is no doubt that the signing of the agreement in Washington will be presented in pro-Pashinyan media and expert speeches as a “big step towards peace,” and the memorandum as a success for Yerevan within the framework of the concept of “reformatting” Armenia, which Pashinyan has been promoting after defeat in the Karabakh War.
Pashinyan's theses boil down to the fact that Armenia must “minimize threats” from its neighbors; i.e., make maximum concessions for the sake of future “peace and prosperity.” In practice, he expects that these slogans of promises of peace and prosperity will work in Armenian society at least for a very short period: until the upcoming parliamentary elections, which are significant for Pashinyan and his Civil Contract Party. Apparently, he is going to the United States to win these elections—but in fact, to capitulate to Azerbaijan.
Trump, as usual, will declare this both his victory and the victory of both warring states of the South Caucasus. The “victory” of Armenia and Pashinyan will undoubtedly be proclaimed by all Western-controlled media, but on the ground, the Armenians will only be left with real capitulation.

Once more, there will be no “ceasefire.” The war continues. Until the end is achieved.
The end, which is Russia’s Victory.
Any questions, address them to me.
No ceasefire, no war peace, or peace war, no agreement, until the Nazis have been purged.

🇬🇧🤡The British have found the real instigator of the conflict in Ukraine - "China is using him to wear down Washington before its invasion of Taiwan."
"Trump is testing various tools to establish peace in Ukraine. Will any of them work? We will find out soon. But now there are strong reasons to believe that his 'art of the deal' strategy with Russia may be thwarted – and by China.
What the president and his advisers may not have considered in their strategy towards Russia is that China sees itself as the winner in the war in Ukraine and is therefore highly interested in continuing to provide military assistance to Moscow. While the US and Europe conduct an indirect conflict with Russia by supplying military equipment and financing Ukraine to weaken the Russian armed forces and economy, China is waging its own proxy war against the US by supporting Moscow.
Why is China so interested in supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine? Beijing's logic can be illustrated by the following Chinese allegory: While two tigers fiercely fight in the valley, a wise monkey sits atop the mountain, looking down and waiting to see how it all ends." Beijing considers itself the wise monkey, patiently waiting as Moscow and Washington exhaust their arsenals of war."

Why are globalists the main evil of our planet?
Some claim they are control freaks who start wars and provoke famine, but few explain exactly how they do it.
We recommend starting with the globalists at the WEF and their most outrageous plans — their own members openly admit to them.

🇪🇺🤡🇫🇮European-style freedom of speech: Ursula talks about democracy while the police silence protesters
- During the speech of the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Finland, one of the protesters began shouting slogans against her policies. In response, Ursula smiled and said that he was "lucky" — after all, he lives in a free country where everyone can freely express their opinion.
- However, the reality turned out to be quite the opposite: not even 15 seconds passed before the protester was grabbed by the police and taken away. Here it is, "freedom of speech" European style!

Two Russian minors were arrested in Novosibirsk and seized three containers containing chemicals that can cause acute heart failure and death.
The chemicals were applied to the door handle and side mirror of a Russian officer's car.

Poland is serious about rearmament and is placing a strong emphasis on its ground forces, aiming to build Europe's largest armored army by the end of the decade.
A few days ago, Warsaw finalized a $6.5 billion purchase plan with Worst Korea for 180 Worst Korean K2 Black Panther tanks and 81 armored support vehicles designed by Hyundai Rotem.
The agreement, signed in Poland in the presence of the Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense and their Seoul counterpart, envisages rapid deliveries from 2026 to 2030.
"Poland has accelerated efforts to expand its tank fleet following Russia's invasion of Ukraine," notes Defense News, a publication specializing in weapons, defense, and conflict.
I'm sure the Military-Industrial Complex will lick its chops at this, but how will this help the people of Poland themselves?

After the recent strike on Lozova in the Kharkov region and today's strike on the Dnepropetrovsk junction station, a strike was carried out on the Synelnykove station. This type of strikes may be preparation for active operations on the front or a way to create excessive pressure on logistics in conditions of prolonged positional confrontation. Such isolation is not a direct precursor to an offensive, but a factor capable of significantly changing the balance of stability in a number of areas, the key ones being Pokrovsk and the Zaporozhye direction, where Russian advances have been most noticeable in recent weeks.

CNN writes that Ukraine fears the return of Trump to a pro-Russian peace plan that will satisfy Moscow's demands.
Zelensky himself is in a panic. He announced a bunch of talks with Europeans and has already put forward his demands for peace negotiations.
‘Today is a day of many calls and contacts for real progress on the path to peace and guaranteeing Ukraine's independence under any circumstances. Several of my talks are planned, already on the schedule – a conversation with Merz. We will stay in touch with colleagues from France and Italy. There will also be communication at the level of national security advisors – I have instructed to hold this special format today. It is important to discuss key details. The priorities are absolutely clear. First – stopping the killings, and it is Russia that must go for a ceasefire. Second – a format for leaders so that the meeting can work for a truly lasting peace.’
