Russia Decimates Ukrainian Army Crucial ‘War Control Centre'
/ Aug 20, 2025, 09:50AM IST
Russian forces carried out overnight strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure, targeting a fuel refinery supplying troops, along with missile warehouses and a drone assembly site. The Russian Defence Ministry claimed high-precision weapons and drones were used, reporting heavy Ukrainian losses across multiple fronts. The escalation comes as peace talks remain stalled due to a dispute over the venue. President Putin proposed Moscow for a bilateral meeting, but Ukrainian President Zelensky rejected the offer outright, responding with a clear 'no' and refusing talks on Russian terms.

India And China Form New Groups On Border Issue As PM Modi, Wang Yi, Jaishankar, Doval Signal Thaw
/ Aug 20, 2025, 02:44PM IST India and China have agreed to form two powerful new groups to tackle the decades-old border issue. During Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to New Delhi, he met NSA Ajit Doval, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two sides decided to form an Expert Group for early breakthroughs in boundary delimitation and a Working Group to maintain peace and stability in border areas. PM Modi emphasised that peace along the frontier is the foundation of overall ties, while both nations agreed to adopt a long-term political vision for resolving disputes. India and China will also establish new general-level mechanisms across eastern, middle, and western sectors while continuing dialogue through existing channels. Modi is set to visit China later this month for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, marking his first trip since 2018, a visit that could inject 'new energy' into India-China diplomacy.

‘No wonder other countries laugh at us': Social media slams Donald Trump as his remark makes female host uneasy
Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends. It was a day after meeting European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House to discuss peace with Russia. However, he moved away from politics to share a piece of 'breaking news'. While expected to focus on his talks with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine war, Trump instead spent much of his time praising the Fox hosts. He was especially interested in Ainsley Earhardt and her relationship with Sean Hannity. Donald Trump spoke at length about the Fox News hosts, who got engaged last Christmas after years of dating. Their relationship began after both had gone through divorces. Though the couple had kept their relationship mostly private before, it was already known in media circles. Trump teased Hannity during his remarks, saying he could take the 'lovely young lady' to dinner in Washington, pointing out Earhardt sitting there. The US president said, 'I don't want to get him in trouble, so I'd better explain exactly. We don't want any secrets here.' 'That's the greatest relationship. I hope I'm not breaking any news,' Trump said while Earhardt looked uneasy. 'This could be the most important thing I said. But, let me tell you those are two great, Ainsley and Sean, great people! When they go out to dinner, I don't want to see them mugged,' Trump added. 'Now, they can go out. They can hold hands. They can walk down the street. They are both superstars. I wonder who makes more money. He's gotta be making a lot,' the US president said. Social media users did not take it well. Many of them found Trump's behaviour offensive. 'The discomfort all over her face and in her body language,' commented one of them. Another wrote, 'I'm embarrassed. This is our president, everyone.' 'Dear God! Does he ever think before talking?' reacted a social media user. 'This is the president?' wondered another. Another wrote, 'It's amazing how little self-awareness he has.' 'Sounds like the drunk neighbour,' quipped another. 'The uncle we can't stand!' came from another. Another commented, 'Why should anyone be surprised by the nonsense?' 'This is our president. No wonder the other countries laugh at us,' came from another.
