‘10 Or 12 Days': Trump Issues New Deadline For Putin To Accept Ukraine Truce
US President Donald Trump on Monday reduced the 50-day deadline he initially set for Russia to initiate a truce in the Ukraine war, expressing disappointment in Vladimir Putin's actions.
'10 or 12 days from today… We just don't see any progress being made," the US President said. He had earlier threatened to reduce the deadline or face 'severe" economic sanctions, saying he was disappointed in Putin for not committing to a ceasefire.

'I've spoken to President Putin a lot. We got along really well… We thought we had it settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills people in a nursing home or whatever. Bodies lying all over the street," he told reporters alongside British PM Keir Starmer and his wife at his luxury golf course in Turnberry, Scotland.
'I am very disappointed in President Putin. Very disappointed in him. I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer to what's going to happen," he added, without giving a new deadline.

Vladimir Putin's 'daughter' resurfaces with cryptic post: ‘The man who destroyed my life'
A woman widely believed to be a daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin has resurfaced on social media, accusing an unnamed man of 'destroying' her life. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, believed to be Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegitimate daughter.(X/@ igorsushko and File Photo/Reuters) In a post on Telegram, 22-year-old Elizaveta Krivonogikh shared a photo of herself and wrote: 'It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again. It reminds me of who I was born to be and who destroyed my life. The man who took millions of lives and who destroyed mine,' reported The Times. According to the news outlet, while Krivonogikh did not explicitly name Putin, a German newspaper Bild that had access to the Telegram channel titled 'Art of Luiza' noted that the context strongly suggested the Russian president was the subject of her remarks. Despite the mounting media scrutiny, the Kremlin has denied any connection. In 2020, Putin's spokesperson said the president had 'never heard of her". Public attention around Elizaveta reignited last year when Russian artist Nastya Rodionova, now in exile, claimed that she had been working under the surname Rudnova at a Paris gallery exhibiting anti-war art. Rodionova publicly cut ties with the gallery, saying it was 'inadmissible' for a member of the Putin family to be associated with such a space. Who is Elizaveta Krivonogikh? Elizaveta Krivonogikh is believed to be the daughter of Vladimir Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a woman who reportedly worked as a cleaner before becoming a shareholder in Bank Rossiya. Despite the Kremlin's longstanding efforts to keep Putin's private life secret, reports over the years have linked Elizaveta to the president. She previously lived a visibly luxurious life, sharing glimpses of designer clothing and private jets on social media before going largely offline after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, reported The Times. Elizaveta is reported to have graduated in 2024 from ICART, a Paris-based institution that specialises in arts and cultural management. Wealth and a link to Putin Her mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh, reportedly transitioned from working as a cleaner in St Petersburg to becoming a major shareholder in key Russian businesses. Among her assets is a significant stake in the Bank of Russia, an institution the United States has described as 'Putin's personal cashbox.' In 2020, Russian investigative outlet Proekt estimated Svetlana's net worth at approximately 7.7 billion rubles (about £74 million at the time).

US Justice Department open probe into Obama officials over allegation of Russian interference in 2016 polls
US Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into allegations that members of the former Democratic President Barack Obama's administration manufactured intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential elections. Also known as the 'Russiagate conspiracy', President Donald Trump had long claimed that the claims of Russian intervention in the 2016 elections was conspired by his political opponents in order to smear his image. However, it remains to be seen what could be the charges levelled in the probe and who would be charged in the 'Russiagate' investigation. Bondi has directed a prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury after referrals from the Trump administration's top intelligence official, Associated Press reported on Monday. 🧵 New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration… — DNI Tulsi Gabbard (@DNIGabbard) July 23, 2025 The Justice Department had said in July that they are going to form a strike force to assess claims made by the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about 'alleged weaponization of the US intelligence community.' Gabbard accused Obama and his national security team of a 'years-long coup' against Trump while releasing a declassified report which the Democrats claimed was false. Gabbard alleged that intelligence inputs about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was politicised by the White House then led by the Obama administration to falsely link Trump with Russia. Trump reacted to the revelations made by the National Intelligence director and accused Obama of 'treason'. A spokesperson for Obama had called the claims 'bizarre' and said 'the allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' Democrats discredited the findings released by Gabbard and said nothing invalidated a US intelligence assessment in January 2017, which said that Russia had sought to damage Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and boost Trump's campaign three months prior to voting in 2016. The assessment concluded that the actual impact of Russia's meddling with 2016 polls were limited and had no evidence to show if Moscow's efforts actually changed voting outcomes. However, Russia had denied it played any role during the 2016 US presidential elections.

Trump's war against the world comes at America's expense
Trump seems to visualise that what is good for the globe is not good for the US. AFP President Donald Trump has unleashed an economic war against the rest of the world from the very inception of his second administration. American people, American companies and the entire political class of the United States are not with President Trump's economic policies—domestic or foreign. However, the principal difficulty lies in the fact that not many within the United States who oppose Trump's tariff tantrums are able to counter, resist or confront an administration that is vindictive against the opponents and resorts to retribution or revenge. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD President Trump does not spare anyone who makes statements or brings out reports on issues that run counter to his policies. The latest example is the quick removal of the head of the Bureau of Labour Statistics, Erika McEntarfar, after the bureau released the job statistics showing that the US labour market is not as resilient as expected. The latest job report indicated that Trump's tariff war and other economic policies have begun to demonstrate the negative consequences of Trump policy. American consumers are yet to feel the adverse impact of high tariffs on imports, partly because some of the US' importers bought foreign goods in bulk and put them in stores before the new tariff would kick in, and partly because some of the import duties are yet to be systematically implemented, as many countries are still in the process of negotiating with the officials of the Trump Administration. The price pressure on consumers will certainly pose a serious political challenge to President Trump. But in order to deal with that possible outcome, the Trump supporters can come up with false data and build an untruthful narrative. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party also appears to be a bystander and unable to counter Trump effectively. The big American companies that contribute to election campaign financing are also mute spectators for fear of becoming the target of Trump's wrath. President Trump's dislike for foreigners is clearly vindicated in his harsh treatment of the immigrants. His aversion for foreign countries is reflected in his call to American companies to return and base their manufacturing activities at home. But this Trumpian drive would harm US companies that have invested around the world, taking advantage of cheap land and labour, by implication, making America richer than other countries. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump's anxiety about a rising China that would ferociously compete economically with the US is explicable. But when the Apple company sought to exit from China and enter the Indian market, Trump threatened high duties on the products of the company! It gives the impression that his main goal is not to allow India to grow, even if it is in American interest. Indian economic performance is viewed by President Trump as a 'dead economy', not because he lacks basic knowledge about India but because he would not like to see an India that would question his false statements or assert itself as a country that stands by its policy of strategic autonomy. Trump seems persuaded that his vision of 'America First' would be good for his country. Actually, his America First policy would benefit him and his supporters but harm the United States and the world. He wrongly assumes that in a globalised world with complex interdependence among countries, the US economy can thrive all by itself. He seems to visualise that what is good for the globe is not good for America. Otherwise, he would not have embarked upon a journey that would make the US allies suffer, make the strategic partners reassess the value of partnering with the US and induce the competitors to resolve to stand up to the US. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD By his decision to withdraw the US membership from global institutions and initiatives, such as the World Health Organisation, the Paris Climate Accord, Unesco and the disrespect for the World Trade Organisation, Trump seeks to make America a bolted island country in a deeply interconnected world. Can such an America protect itself against the next pandemic? Can the Americans breathe safe air when the world gets progressively polluted along with rising earth temperature? Can it sustain a durable trading relationship by browbeating countries to accept its policies and diktats through bilateral networks? So far Trump has been in the commanding position for a little above six months. He has a distance to go before he is supposed to step down in January 2029. His recent contemplation for an unconstitutional third term in the White House appears to have been abandoned for the time being. Yet, whether there will be a peaceful transfer of power after the 2028 presidential election in Washington, DC, cannot be predicted now. He pardoned many who were convicted and sentenced to jail due to their involvement in the insurrection of January 6, 2021. Will there be another insurrection? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A lot will depend on how the political scene unfolds within the United States. There is an opportunity for the American voters to send Trump a message in the November 2026 congressional election. There are still openings for Corporate America to press upon him to abandon his damaging tariff policies and other economic measures. The think tanks and the American universities, where academia plays a constructive role in the policymaking ecosystem, are struggling hard to make compromises with the Trump Administration to ensure restoration of federal funding. But still, the American academia can elucidate whether the proverbial emperor is without clothes. But how the international community responds will also determine if the current American imperial presidency is a passing phenomenon. The European allies have been left high and dry by Trump and are clamped with a 15 per cent tariff, which is much higher than the 2.5 per cent tariff that was imposed earlier. The Nato member countries have been bulldozed into spending 5 per cent of their GDP on defence when they are undergoing economic downturn and energy shortages. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Japan and South Korea are forced to pay more to keep the alliance structure alive. India was one of the first countries in 2025 to start negotiations with the Trump team on bilateral trade. After months of negotiations, the Trump Administration keeps pressuring India to open its agricultural sector, which would surely hurt the millions of Indian farmers. This pressure is compounded by its insistence on India to stop buying Russian energy resources, which would again grievously affect India's energy security. China stood firm and responded by restricting rare earth materials. It pinched the US, and Trump promptly relaxed its restrictions on technology and chip trade. But China's export controls hurt many other countries, including India. As the world is facing Trump's tariff war, it remains utterly divided. There were some whispers about the EU, China, Japan and many others coming together to confer on how to manage the uncertainties in international trade and overall political economy. But whispers have not given way to any concrete steps. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The international community rightly thinks that Trump is not America. Numerous countries around the world seem to be interested in waiting him out. But the big question is whether Trumpism will survive Donald Trump. All major countries look prepared to work for a truce with Trump. However, the truce should not be at the cost of the stability of the international trade ecosystem. Trump's economic war against the world will not end soon unless there are countermeasures against Trumpian unilateralism.
