Putin praises 'sincere efforts' from US to end Ukraine war, signals nuclear deal ahead of Alaska summit
President Putin on Thursday praised the US for its 'sincere efforts' to end the war in Ukraine and raised the possibility of a nuclear arms deal ahead of his upcoming summit with President Donald Trump Russia's President Vladimir Putin meets with representatives of the Russian business circles in Moscow on May 26, 2025. AFP File Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised the United States for its 'sincere efforts' to end the war in Ukraine and raised the possibility of a nuclear arms deal ahead of his upcoming summit with President Donald Trump, as European leaders urged Trump to take a firm stance. Putin, speaking ahead of his trip to Alaska, appeals to Trump's desire for a Nobel. He says the US is 'making energetic and sincere efforts to end the conflict,' and dangles 'long-term conditions for peace […] if we reach agreements on strategic offensive arms control.' — max seddon (@maxseddon) August 14, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Speaking to his most senior ministers and security officials as he prepared for the meeting with Trump in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday, Putin said, 'United States is making, in my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict'. This was happening, Putin said, 'in order to create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, and in Europe, and in the world as a whole - if, by the next stages, we reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons.' Putin's remarks signalled that Russia will raise the issue of nuclear arms control as part of a wide-ranging discussion on security when he sits down with Trump for the first Russia-US summit since June 2021. The Alaska meeting, that could shape the endgame to the largest war in Europe since World War Two, follows intensified efforts by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his European allies to prevent any deal that carves up Ukraine's territory and leaves it vulnerable to future attack. A senior eastern European official told Reuters that Putin would try to distract Trump from Ukraine at the talks by offering him possible progress on nuclear arms control or something business-related. 'We hope Trump won't be fooled by the Russians, he understands all (these) dangerous things,' Reuters quoted the official as saying. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The only strategic goal for the Russians is not to receive new sanctions, and to lift the sanctions that the US and others (imposed) previously. The Russians have no other big goals now. They think they will find a way to take all of Ukraine in one way or another,' the source added. Seeking clarity on security guarantees Ukraine's allies said President Trump appeared willing to support security guarantees for Kyiv — a potentially significant, though still , commitment that offers a glimmer of hope for Ukraine. According to European leaders, Trump expressed this willingness during a last-minute virtual meeting with them and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday, although he made no public reference to the offer afterward. 'Yesterday, together with all our partners, and today in a bilateral format, we discussed expectations for the meeting in Alaska and possible prospects,' Zelenskyy said after a meeting in London with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 'We also discussed in considerable detail the security guarantees that can make peace truly durable if the United States succeeds in pressing Russia to stop the killings and engage in genuine, substantive diplomacy.' Friday's summit comes at one of the toughest moments for Ukraine in a war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Speaking after Wednesday's meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump insisted that the transatlantic Nato alliance should not be part of security guarantees that would be designed to protect Ukraine from future attacks in a post-war settlement. 'President Trump also stated this clearly, saying things that I find important: namely, that Nato should not be part of these security guarantees - and we know this is a key point, particularly for the Russian side - but (also) that the United States and all willing allies should be part of them. That is what we are committed to,' Macron said. Expanding on that, a European official told Reuters that Trump said on the call he was willing to provide some security guarantees for Europe, without spelling out what they would be. The official, who did not want to be named, said this was the first time he has been so explicit about providing some guarantees since the Coalition of the Willing talks led by Britain and France began in March. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It 'felt like a big step forward', the official said. It was not immediately clear what such guarantees could mean in practice. On Wednesday, Trump threatened 'severe consequences' if Putin does not agree to peace in Ukraine and while he did not specify what the consequences could be, he has warned of economic sanctions if his meeting on Friday proves fruitless. However, Russia is likely to resist Ukraine and Europe's demands strongly and previously has said its stance had not changed since it was first detailed by Putin in June 2024. A Kremlin aide said Putin and Trump will discuss the 'huge untapped potential' for Russia-US economic ties as well as the prospects for ending the war at the meeting. Zelenskyy confirmed this week that Russian forces had advanced by about 9-10 km (6 miles) near the town of Dobropillia in the Donetsk region. Ukraine, suffering manpower challenges, was forced to move in reserves to stabilise the situation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump has said a deal could include what he called a land swap. Russia controls around a fifth of Ukraine and a land swap within Ukraine could cement Moscow's gains. Zelenskyy and the Europeans worry that would reward Putin for 11 years of efforts to seize Ukrainian land and embolden him to expand further west in Europe. With inputs from agencies

Gold, Silver Prices Remain Range-Bound As Investors Await US-Russia Meet Outcome
New Delhi: Gold and silver traded in a narrow range on Thursday, with gold prices holding above the Rs 1 lakh mark per 10 grams, while silver slipped below Rs 1.15 lakh per kg. According to data released by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), the price of 24-carat gold declined by Rs 74 to Rs 1,00,023 per 10 grams from Rs 1,00,097 per 10 grams a day earlier. Prices of 22-carat and 18-carat gold fell to Rs 91,621 and Rs 75,017 per 10 grams, respectively. Analysts said investors are awaiting the outcome of the scheduled meeting between the US and Russia on August 15, keeping gold prices range-bound. Weakness in the US dollar, however, is providing some support to the yellow metal. Silver prices also saw a drop, with rates falling Rs 342 to Rs 1,14,933 per kg over the past 24 hours. IBJA releases spot market prices for gold and silver twice a day. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold's October 3, 2025, contract edged up 0.04 per cent to Rs 1,00,227, while silver's September 5, 2025, contract settled 0.22 per cent lower at Rs 1,14,772. In the international market, prices on Comex were also under pressure, with gold down 0.12 per cent at $3,404 per ounce and silver falling 0.61 per cent to $38.36 per ounce. "Gold traded sideways near $3,355 on Comex and Rs 1,00,280 on MCX as market participants awaited the crucial US–Russia meeting on August 15 over Russia-Ukraine peace talks, a war that has persisted for years," said Jateen Trivedi of LKP Securities. Dollar weakness has lent support to gold, while ongoing tariffs on various countries have also underpinned its strength. Overall, gold remains positive as long as $3,280 is held. The range for gold is seen between Rs 99,000–Rs 1,01,500, Trivedi added.

Sanctions-hit refiner Nayara in talks with India govt to sustain operations
Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy said on Thursday it was talking to government authorities and partners to maintain operational stability of its 400,000 barrels per day refinery and fuel supplies despite EU sanctions hurting the supply chain. The private refiner, majority-owned by Russian companies including Rosneft, was sanctioned by the EU last month as part of a package targeting entities linked to Russian oil. The private company sells about 70% of its refined fuels in India through more than 6,600 retail outlets, it said in a Delhi court filing. Nayara is supplying fuels to its retail stations through coastal, rail, and road networks, it said. "Our retail fuel stations continue to operate as usual while we diligently work to ensure uninterrupted fuel supplies across India," it said. The sanctions forced Nayara to cut output at its Vadinar refinery on the West Coast to 70%-80% and hit its exports. Its former chief executives resigned and shippers backed out from local movement of its refined fuels. The company is operating the refinery at a "healthy run rate" and is supplying fuels, it said. Nayara has not specified at what rate its refinery is operating. Nayara has sought help from India's shipping ministry to get vessels for the movement of its refined fuels, a government source said on Thursday.
