As Ukraine ceasefire deadline nears, Putin risks rupture with Trump & risks confrontation
As Russian leader Vladimir Putin has continued to defy the deadline to agree to a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, he has risked a rupture with US President Donald Trump and risked a confrontation with the United States. read more As Vladimir Putin has continued to defy the deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, the Russian leader has risked a rupture with US President Donald Trump. As Kremlin dismissed any possibility of a ceasefire after talks with Ukraine last month and Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians continued, Trump reduced his 50-day ultimatum to '10 or 12 days' and raised hopes that he had finally broken ranks with Putin. The deadline will end this week. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Putin has essentially dismissed the deadline, potentially setting Russia on the path of a confrontation with the United States. In an apparent reference to Trump's disappointment with him, Putin on Friday said that 'all disappointments arise from inflated expectations'. Making it clear that he had no intention to stop ground offensives, he said that 'to stop our advance at any cost' was the objective of Russia's enemies and ill-wishers. Trump came to office in January as a friend of Putin who paved path of a Russian victory in Ukraine: he pressured Ukraine with the suspension of military and intelligence assistance, humiliated the country's president, ended long-running US military and intelligence programmes focussed on Russia, floated ceasefire proposals that endorsed Russian positions, diluted the trans-Atlantic security alliance, and sought a reset of US-Russia ties. But Putin kept doubling down on his maximalist demands and rejected all of Trump's proposals. He kept bombing Ukranian civilians in defiance of personal appeals by Trump. Last month, Trump essentially concluded that Putin does not want a ceasefire and wants all of Ukraine. With the 50-day ultimatum, which his supporters cheered, he essentially endorsed Putin's ongoing ground offensive — either out of a failure to understand its favourable implications for Putin or tacit approval of Putin's war plans. But as he reduced the deadline to 10-12 days on July 28, it was clear that his patience was running out. However, it does not appear that Putin has taken President Trump's deadlines and threats of sanctions, tariffs, and secondary tariffs seriously so far and it appears that he still hopes that he can maintain Trump's goodwill through flattery and false promises, says Kseniya Kirillova, a Russia analyst at Washington DC-based think tank Jamestown Foundation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Has Trump given Putin the last chance? With his statements, it appears that Trump has given Putin his last chance before taking punitive actions. But Trump being Trump, nothing could ever be certain. Just around the time of the deadline's end, Trump's main negotiator, Steve Witkoff, will go to Russia on Wednesday or Thursday to hold talks with the country's leaders. The visit and signals from it should provide clarity about Trump's final position on the Russian war on Ukraine. For now, it appears that Trump is willing to punish Ukraine because his friendly ties with Putin may not outpower his commitment to his base to end the war and personal embarrassment that Putin has dealt him with the consistent rejection of his peace offerings. Despite President Trump's personal sympathies for Putin, which he has never concealed, it is important to remember that Trump is, first and foremost, a businessman, and he needs a result, which is the deal he promised to his voters, says Kirillova, the Russia analyst at Jamestown Foundation. Kirillova tells Firstpost, 'It appears that President Trump did not care what the cost of achieving the Ukraine peace deal would be. Ukraine appeared to be the weaker party and therefore it seemed logical for him to put pressure on the weaker side. I very much hope that he has begun to realise that no result will be achieved unless pressure is applied to Russia. And as he continues to see the absence of results, his sympathies for Putin appear to have turned into irritation.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There appear to be subtle signs that Putin is responding to at least some of Trump's change in tone and posture. After Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president who has been Putin's attack down since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, insulted Trump on X and threatened a war, Trump announced the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters. Medvedev has been silent since Trump's announcement and the Kremlin has sobered its tone as well. Putin may not be as strong as he appears to be and therein lies Trump's power to force the hand of the Russian leader. The Russian economy is completely dependent on China and the war machinery is dependent on China, Iran, and North Korea. Even though the personnel situation is better than that of Ukraine, it is not sustainable. 'Putin is hesitant to declare a new wave of mobilisation or to further shift the economy onto a war footing. However, in the case of a serious offensive, he will not be able to avoid these steps. But as Russian defence plants are already operating at full capacity, there is little scope of such steps delivering desired results. President Trump therefore has certain levers of influence over Putin. Most importantly, he can provide Ukraine with more substantial military aid,' says Kirillova. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD If he actually finds himself cornered, Putin may actually seek a low-hanging fruit and avoid a confrontation with the West for now over Ukraine. 'For Putin, the ideal scenario is to freeze the conflict for a while, build up strength, and then resume the war — ideally with a more plausible pretext, such as accusing Ukraine of failing to comply with peace agreements,' says Kirillova.

‘Miami not Mumbai': Hotel under fire for reportedly hiring virtual Indian receptionist; US netizens say ‘hire Americans'
Image: Instagram@/languageguy1 A hotel in Miami is under fire for allegedly hiring an Indian to be a receptionist and to check in guests virtually. The video, which is now going viral on social media, has sparked backlash, fueling concerns over job outsourcing amid heightened anti-immigrant sentiment. Originally posted by Pete Langs (@languageguy1) on TikTok and Instagram, the video shows him checking into a hotel room with assistance from a man appearing on a screen rather than physically present at the front desk. The virtual front desk employee asks Langs, 'Do you need one room key or two room keys?' to which he replies, 'Two, just in case I lose one.' The receptionist, speaking via video call, then proceeds to provide check-in instructions and generates the registration form. While the video does not confirm the front desk employee's nationality or location, many viewers assumed that he is from the Indian subcontinent and possibly working remotely from outside the United States. '@GovRonDeSantis This is Miami! Pass a law banning this. Outsourcing hotel check in to India?!' commented a user tagging Ronald Dion DeSantis, the governor of Florida. 'This is Miami, not Mumbai hire Americans first,' said another user. 'Everything is outsourced to India now. This will be the next big immigration crisis,' commented a user. 'This is almost comical at this point. India needs to be paying Americans to have to deal with them,' another comment read. 'Boycott La Quinta. They're taking way jobs from Americans!!' another user commented. Public opinion on immigration in the US is highly charged, with at least 8 Indians being sent back every day this year under the Trump administration between January 2020 to December 2024. As per data released by the Ministry of External Affairs, 7,244 Indians were deported for various reasons between January 2020 and July 2025. Nearly a quarter of those, 1,703 individuals, were deported after Donald Trump began his second term in office.

Is Falling US Crime Rate Due To The Trump Effect, AKA The Yogi Effect?
Regardless of laws, when the public believes an administration won't go soft on crime — like in Uttar Pradesh — it often has a deterrent and positive effect. The latest US crime figures highlight piquant parallels: serious offences are down at the same time that migration both illegal/legal have reduced too. According to the latest figures released by a non-partisan think tank Council on Criminal Justice, incidents of murder, gun assaults and carjackings actually fell during the first half of 2025 across 42 US cities, a trend that began in 2022. Does that mean Trump's often apoplectic pronouncement worked? The highest profile violent crime in the US is mass shootings. According to the latest statistics quoted by Forbes, these are at a seven-year low now, down by a whopping 44 per cent in the first half of 2025 from the 12-year high of 342 in the same period of 2023. While the figure of 195 mass shootings till July 2 is chillingly high, it is actually 25 per cent less than the 262 reported in the same time period in 2024. Overall crime rates in big cities, however, are the bellwether. Of course, the US has many more cities (around 4,000) but at least in the 42 cited by CCJ, homicides are 17 per cent lower so far in 2025, compared with the same period in 2024 in 30 cities. Only five cities saw a rise, ranging from 6% in Milwaukee to 39 per cent in Little Rock, both of which have Democratic Party mayors. The drop in violent crime is mainly because of an improved record in traditionally high crime cities like Baltimore and St Louis, both also run by Democrats. But now, comparing violent offences from the first half of 2024 and 2025, not only have murders fallen by 17 per cent, but aggravated assaults were also down 10 per cent, gun assaults 21 per cent, sexual assaults 10 per cent, robberies 20 per cent and carjackings 24 per cent. But domestic violence cases rose by 3 per cent. Moreover, car thefts also plummeted 25 per cent, house burglaries by 19 per cent, non-residential burglaries 18 per cent, larceny 12 per cent, and even shoplifting reduced by 12 per cent in the first half of 2025. So, could the improved numbers—at least in 42 large US cities be due to the crackdown on illegal migration or a more responsive policing and criminal justice system due to the change in the White House and consequently the stance of the federal government? Can Trump claim credit for this improvement in the law and order situation since he took over or is this the result of a long overdue autonomous recalibration of official US attitudes to crime? Given Trump's penchant for hyperbole, he may just claim that as illegal migrants were behind most crimes in the US anyway, his categorical action against them since he took office has put brakes on these offences and hence there is a dramatic fall in numbers. As always there is a dearth of evidence to prove Trump wrong—or his opponents right, for that matter. The falling crime rates do speak for themselves, however. and he has a right to appropriate them. Trump had posted on Truth Social post in late July that eliminating cash bail as a condition of pretrial release from jail has caused crime rates to rise in American cities that have enacted this reform. As usual his critics point out that there is no evidence for his claim but there is no proof that cashless bail has been beneficial either. So people will believe what they want, but much depends, again, on the vigilance of law enforcement to ensure compliance. His post apparently was based on a 2022 report from Yolo County, California, about a temporary statewide cashless bail system instituted to prevent Covid-19 outbreaks in courts and jails. It found that out of 70.6 per cent of the 595 people released between April 2020 and May 2021 under cashless bail were arrested again, more than half of them repeatedly. But detractors point out that the re-imposition of the bail system did not have the opposite effect either. Statistics may show falling rates, but mass shootings keep the public unsettled. Two days after a gunman entered a building in New York and shot dead four before killing himself, another man in little Tiptonville, Tennessee also killed four of a family and is on the run. Public records show he was jailed for armed robbery in 2014 and released last September. Two months later he was charged with attempted murder and drug crimes—but was out on bail. Whether crime is related to rises in illegal immigration or not, the recent downturn in crime rates after Trump assumed office can have lessons for all nations. He has a habit of taking more credit than due but on the face of it, his reputation for being tough on crime and illegals appears to have had a salutary effect. In India, Uttar Pradesh, for instance, is usually in the news for bulldozers razing properties of criminal elements but crime rates there are down too. This March, the UP government claimed in a statement that according to police records, robberies are down by 84.41 per cent compared to 2016, while loot cases have fallen by 77.43 per cent. Kidnapping, dowry-related murders and rapes have reduced too. The government credits this to a zero-tolerance policy and proactive law enforcement, backed by CCTV and technological aids. But many say it is because of the tough image of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Tough or lenient laws notwithstanding, wherever there is a public perception that any administration will not be soft on crime or any specific category of offenders, there is usually a salutary effect—as in UP. Trump could be the beneficiary of a coincidental decline in crime in the US just as he assumed office, but that seems a bit of a stretch. Record lows in illegal migration happening at the same time as a reduction in crime rates will be hard to explain away without the Trump factor. The author is a freelance writer.
