Trump forcing India to ‘align' with the US in latest tariff call
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker discusses Donald Trump's strategy of using trade as an 'instrument' of foreign policy. US President Donald Trump has said India will be slapped with a 25 per cent tariff on all exports, as well as a "penalty" tariff for buying Russian weapons and oil. 'One of the things he is trying to do is to isolate Russia and isolate China,' Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'Trump wants the business here in the US, of course, but I think more importantly, he wants India firmly aligned with the United States in our camp.'

Six dead and dozens hurt in Russian air attack on Kyiv
Russia has attacked Ukraine's capital with missiles and drones, killing at least six people including a six-year-old boy and wounding 52 others, Ukrainian authorities say. The casualties numbers were likely to rise, Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko said on Thursday. A large part of a nine-storey residential building collapsed after it was struck, he said. Rescue teams were at the scene to search for people trapped under the rubble. Russia fired 309 Shahed and decoy drones, and eight Iskander-K cruise missiles overnight, the Ukrainian air force said. Ukrainian air defences intercepted and jammed 288 strike drones and three missiles, with five missiles and 21 drones striking targets. Russia's defence ministry, meanwhile, said its forces took full control of the strategically important city of Chasiv Yar in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Ukrainian officials, who typically do not confirm retreats, did not immediately comment. Russian and Ukrainian troops have battled for control of Chasiv Yar for nearly 18 months. It includes a hilltop from which troops can attack other key points in the region that form the backbone of Ukraine's eastern defences. A report on Thursday from Ukraine's Army General Staff said there were seven clashes in Chasiv Yar in the past 24 hours. An attached map showed most of the town as being under Russian control. DeepState, an open-source Ukrainian map widely used by the military and analysts, showed early on Thursday that neighbourhoods to the south and west of Chasiv Yar remained as so-called grey zones, or uncontrolled by either side. The attack targeted the Kyiv, Dnipro, Poltava, Sumy, Mykolaiv regions, with Ukraine's capital being the primary target, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram. "Today, the world once again saw Russia's answer to our desire for peace with America and Europe," Zelenskiy said. "New demonstrative killings. That is why peace without strength is impossible." He called on Ukraine's allies to follow through on defence commitments and pressure Moscow towards real negotiations. Plumes of smoke emanating from a partially damaged building and debris strewn on the ground. At least 27 locations across Kyiv were hit by the attack, Tkachenko said, with the heaviest damage seen in the Solomianskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts. US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he's giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a shorter deadline - August 8 - for peace efforts to make progress, or Washington will impose punitive sanctions and tariffs.

6 killed in 7-hour Russian drone and missile assault on Kyiv
Kyiv | Waves of Russian drones and missiles hit Kyiv overnight into Thursday, killing at least six people and injuring dozens, in an attack that came days after Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Moscow and narrowed the window for agreeing to a ceasefire. The seven-hour aerial bombardment also followed a third round of peace talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials in Istanbul last week that both sides agreed had made no significant progress towards an armistice.
