Putin wants to capture Ukraine’s crucial fortress belt without a fight

(August 28, 2025)

As US-led efforts to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine struggle to gain momentum, Vladimir Putin’s latest territorial demands include the surrender of strategically vital and heavily fortified Ukrainian land in the east of the country. Moscow is calling on Kyiv to unilaterally withdraw from the approximately one-third of Donetsk province that remains in Ukrainian hands as part of any peace deal. In other words, Putin aims to secure territory at the negotiating table that his army has been unable to conquer in more that three and a half years of full-scale war.

PM may have to account to the International Criminal Court, says Browne

“This represents the first time in our records that a prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago would have proudly and publicly associated this nation with violations of international human rights of the UN Charter and International law,” he said.

Browne said the Prime Minister of T&T has continued to double down and triple down, including very recently her public stance in support of these extra-judicial killings.

He said while the US is not one of the state parties to the ICC, Trinidad and Tobago is, having been one of the founders.

Maduro: The US narrative about Venezuela is vulgar, extravagant, and false.

In this regard, he recalled that since Venezuela broke relations with the DEA, the country has been able to advance autonomously and sovereignly in its strategy. „And today Venezuela is a country completely free of drug trafficking and all those things.“

He insisted that the Americans are inventing a new eternal war. „They promised they would never get involved in another war, and they‘re inventing a war that we‘re going to avoid. With what? With the mobilization of the people of South America, because South America and the Caribbean, everything, says no to war, yes to peace, yes to prosperity, yes to harmony and coexistence,“ were the words of the president, referring to the siege the country is under.

Venezuela’s Maduro says the US is fabricating a war as aircraft carrier approaches

“They promised they would never again get involved in a war and they are fabricating a war that we will avoid,” said Maduro. Trump has accused him, without providing evidence, of being the leader of the organized crime gang Tren de Aragua.

“They are fabricating an extravagant narrative, a vulgar, criminal and totally fake one,” Maduro added. “Venezuela is a country that does not produce cocaine leaves.”

Experte zu Gaza-Abkommen „Es ist elementar, dass Trump am Ball bleibt“

(October 13, 2025)

tagesschau.de: Ist es denkbar, dass Israel die Kampfaktivitäten wieder aufnimmt? Beispielsweise dann, wenn die Waffen jetzt doch nicht so abgegeben werden, wie ursprünglich seitens der Hamas zugesagt.

Busse: Ich sehe ein Risiko, dass dieser Krieg wieder fortgesetzt werden könnte durch Israel. Und ich glaube, dass Teile dieses Plans von Trump auch so formuliert worden sind, dass man dafür, wenn man das möchte, einen Vorwand finden kann.

Doha summit ends with strong words, no action

(September 15, 2024)

Israel’s unprovoked attacks on sovereign nations, its blatant disregard for international law, and its relentless pursuit of territorial expansion underscore a reckless contempt for peace and stability in the Middle East. Its willingness to strike even the homes of diplomatic mediators and attack nations hosting U.S. military bases exposes a dangerous level of impunity that threatens not only the region but also global security. Unless Israel’s aggressive policies are decisively confronted and contained, the Middle East faces escalating violence and prolonged instability.

Arab nations must re-evaluate their priorities and strengthen their collective stance toward Israel. Since some states would struggle under economic pressure, especially if U.S. aid were withdrawn, it is essential for stronger Arab countries to provide the necessary support to ensure resilience and unity. In addition, Arab states should cut diplomatic ties with Israel, enforce full boycotts, and halt all trade relations to apply growing pressure and demonstrate true solidarity.

Hundreds of UN staff pressure rights chief to call Gaza a genocide, letter shows

„OHCHR has a strong legal and moral responsibility to denounce acts of genocide,“ said the letter signed by the Staff Committee on behalf of over 500 employees, which called on Turk to take a „clear and public position“.
„Failing to denounce an unfolding genocide undermines the credibility of the U.N. and the human rights system itself,“ it added.
It cited the international body‘s perceived moral failure for not doing more to stop the 1994 Rwanda genocide that killed more than 1 million people.

Speaking outside the Egyptian embassy in London, Maha Azzam, head of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council, said the Rabaa massacre remains an open wound twelve years later and its legacy is directly tied to what is happening in Gaza today.

(August 17, 2025)

She described Rabaa as a systematic murder of innocent people carried out under the orders of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who she said continues to commit crimes by keeping the Rafah crossing shut and blocking food and medicine from reaching civilians in Gaza.

„Egypt is complicit in Israel’s agenda in Gaza,“ she said, calling on the international community to recognise Sisi’s role in the ongoing starvation and suffering of Palestinians.

Trump says no NATO path or Crimea return for Ukraine as Zelensky comes to Washington for peace talks

Trump has stepped up pressure on Zelensky ahead of Aug. 18 peace talks in Washington with European leaders, saying on Truth Social that the Ukrainian president could end the war „almost immediately“ if he chose to or he could „continue to fight“ while making it clear that Ukraine would not be permitted to join NATO or reclaim Crimea from Russian control as part of any potential deal with Moscow.

Zelensky meanwhile cautioned that any new deal must prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from using concessions as a „springboard“ for another attack, citing Russia‘s seizure of Crimea in 2014.

Trump-Putin summit: Veteran diplomat explains why putting peace deal before ceasefire wouldn’t end Ukraine War

What I would look for after the Monday meetings is, does Trump stick to his guns post-Alaska and say, “No, we’re gonna have a big, comprehensive peace agreement, and land for peace is on the table.”

Or does he kind of swing back towards the European point of view and say, “I really think the first thing we got to have is a ceasefire”?

Even critics of Trump need to acknowledge that he’s never been a warmonger. He doesn’t like war. He thinks it’s too chaotic. He can’t control it. No telling what will happen at the other end of war. I think he sincerely wants for the shooting and the killing to stop above all else.

The way you do that is a ceasefire.

Israel must not be allowed to attack Iran again, ignite new war: President Pezeshkian

“We have no problem with negotiation. But the atrocities Israel has committed in the region and against our country, and its war crimes…have caused a crisis,” he said.

The president said that returning to the negotiating table has a prerequisite, which is based on a confidence-building attitude.

“Israel must not be allowed to attack again right in the middle of talks and ignite a new war,” Pezeshkian stated.

The Israeli regime launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran on June 13, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists in addition to civilians.

On June 22, the United States officially joined the war against Iran by launching attacks on three nuclear facilities in the country in violation of the United Nations Charter and the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Iranian foreign minister accuses Netanyahu of duping Trump into ‚mother of forever wars‘

In a post on X, Araghchi said Netanyahu was „a con man who has duped successive US Presidents into fighting his own wars for almost three decades. By all indications, the purpose of Netanyahu‘s criminal attack on Iran – killing hundreds of innocent civilians, including women and children – is to scuttle a DEAL between Iran and the US, which we were on the right path to achieve.

Araghchi also accused Netanyahu of „playing“ President Donald Trump and American taxpayers „for absolute fools“. He said if Trump was serious about diplomacy, it would take „one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu“. He also warned that an absence of a negotiated solution would have untold consequences for regional security and the global economy and get the US „mired in the Mother of Forever Wars“.

Exclusive: Hamas offers to release ten captives over sixty days in three stages

The plan would see Hamas release ten living Israeli captives and the remains of 18 others in three phases. For the living captives four on day one, two on day 30, and four on day 60. As for the bodies, six will be returned on day ten, another six on day 30, and the remaining six on day 50.

In return, Israeli forces would begin withdrawing to positions held before 2 March 2025.

(…)

“Witkoff’s only concern is the release of the Israeli captives, but he shows a complete disregard for the continuous killing of thousands Palestinian civilians, majority of whom are women and children, and the suffering of the spread of famine for the two million Palestinians in Gaza“ the Palestinian source noted.

“Hamas felt Witkoff betrayed them twice. The first when Israel broke the US guaranteed deal on 2 March by imposing the embargo on aid and then returning to full blown war on 18 March, with Witkoff’s and the American administration’s full support and cover,“ the source said.

„And the second time, when Hamas released the American-Israeli soldier with an expectation of humanitarian relief and a new approach towards the negotiations, which clearly has not been the case,” they added.

ICC arrest warrants: The Palestinians have prevailed in the ‚legitimacy war‘

We should remember that Palestine is a party to the ICC treaty.

Thus, if either Netanyahu or Gallant were to set foot in the occupied Palestinian territories of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, the governmental authority in Ramallah would be legally obliged to make arrests.

Yet it would test the bravery of the Palestinian Authority far beyond its past behaviour if it dared to arrest an Israeli leader, however strong the evidence against him.
