Ukraine's Zelensky: No peace without Ukraine
Shafaq News – Kyiv / Moscow On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that any peace arrangement to end the war with Russia must involve Kyiv directly, rejecting the possibility of agreements reached solely between the United States and Russia. In a video statement released by the Ukrainian presidency, Zelensky affirmed that Ukraine is prepared for genuine solutions that can deliver peace, accusing Moscow of deliberately prolonging the conflict and ignoring deadlines. Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace. Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace. They will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They are unworkable decisions. And we… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) August 9, 2025 Earlier, Trump confirmed, in a post on Truth Social, a plan to meet Putin in Alaska on August 15. While hosting Armenia and Azerbaijan's leaders at the White House, Trump remarked, 'We are going to have a meeting with Russia. We'll start with Russia.' He hinted that any breakthrough on Ukraine could involve territorial adjustments, adding, 'It's very complicated. But we're going to get some back, and we're going to get some switched.' On the battlefield, Russia's Ministry of Defense reported conducting seven precision strikes with missiles and drones between August 2 and 8 against Ukrainian energy, defense industry, and transport facilities, as well as command posts, long-range drone depots, and a drone boat workshop. Ukraine's armed forces recorded 163 combat clashes over the past 24 hours, reporting Russian missile, air, and drone strikes, along with thousands of artillery and mortar attacks across multiple fronts, including Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kupiansk, Lyman, Siversk, Kramatorsk, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, Novopavlivka, Huliaipole, Orikhiv, and the Dnipro River front.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the event as 'a long-awaited meeting,' adding that further details will be disclosed later. According to a report by Russia's Ria Novosti, a Russian representative noted that Alaska is a location where Moscow and Washington's economic interests intersect, with potential for large-scale projects, adding that a future meeting could be held in Russia, as Putin has extended an invitation to Trump. No official agenda for the Alaska summit has been released. Situated across the Bering Strait from Russia, the US state also carries symbolic weight in the history of US–Russia relations, having been purchased from the Russian Empire in 1867. Earlier, Putin hosted Trump's special envoy, Stephen Witkoff, at the Kremlin for more than three hours. The discussions included exchanges on Ukraine and prospects for developing strategic cooperation between the two countries.

China backs Russia-US dialogue on Ukraine
Shafaq News – Moscow / Beijing On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed support to the continued dialogue between Moscow and Washington, urging swift progress toward a resolution of the war in Ukraine. In a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xi welcomed Moscow's ongoing contact with the United States, reaffirmed Beijing's support for peace talks, and underscored the importance of diplomacy over confrontation. The call followed the Kremlin's announcement that Putin is expected to meet US President Donald Trump in the coming days, as Washington pushes Moscow to take steps toward ending the war. According to the Kremlin, Putin reached out to Xi to update him on recent exchanges with the United States. It was the second phone conversation between Xi and Putin in less than two months. The Russian leader is expected to visit China in September for events marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Trump has recently expressed frustration with Moscow over the lack of progress on peace efforts, warning of steep tariffs on countries that continue purchasing Russian oil — including China. On Wednesday, the US president indicated he may introduce duties on Chinese imports similar to the 25 percent tariffs already imposed on India over its purchases of Russian crude. In response to those remarks, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun described Beijing's energy cooperation with Moscow as 'just and legitimate.'
