Russia proposes Ukraine land concessions to end war
Shafaq News – Moscow / Washington Russian President Vladimir Putin has set strict conditions for a peace deal with Ukraine, calling for a full Ukrainian withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk, along with frozen front lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, Axios reported on Saturday. Sources familiar with the recent US-Russia summit in Alaska indicated that US President Donald Trump and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff presented Putin's positions to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as leaders from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, NATO, and the European Commission. Putin's plan would transfer more Ukrainian territory to Russia than the reverse. Russian forces currently control nearly all of Luhansk and roughly three-quarters of Donetsk, while advances in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia have slowed. The sources noted that halting operations in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia was offered as a concession in exchange for Ukrainian withdrawal from Donetsk, highlighting ''the central role of territorial negotiations.'' Axios further reported that US officials believed Putin could be open to discussions over small areas in Sumy and Kharkiv. The talks might also include security guarantees for Ukraine, with China mentioned as a potential guarantor, potentially limiting NATO's involvement. These developments followed a summit between Putin and Trump in Alaska earlier this week, marking their first meeting since Trump returned to the political stage. Discussions focused on the war in Ukraine and broader strategic security matters. Putin described the summit as 'extremely productive,' calling it a timely milestone. In turn, Trump highlighted progress in the talks while acknowledging that some disagreements remain unresolved. He further confirmed plans to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on August 18, with a trilateral summit including Putin under consideration for August 22.

Israel launches Gaza relocation as Washington pushes truce effort
Shafaq News – Gaza The Israeli army said on Saturday it will begin transferring civilians from combat zones in Gaza to the south starting August 17. Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee stated that tents and shelter equipment will be delivered through the Kerem Shalom crossing under UN and aid-agency supervision, following Israeli inspections. He added that the step was ordered by the political leadership to 'safeguard residents while allowing humanitarian deliveries under international law.' #عاجل 🔴 بناء على توجيهات المستوى السياسي وفي اطار تحضيرات جيش الدفاع لنقل السكان المدنيين من مناطق القتال إلى جنوب قطاع عزة حفاظا على أمنهم، سيتم اعتبارا من يوم الغد (الأحد) تجديد توفير الخيم ومعدات المأوى لسكان القطاع.⭕️سيتم نقل المعدات عن طريق معبر كيرم شالوم بواسطة الأمم… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) August 16, 2025 The move coincides with Washington's push for a new phased settlement plans, Israel Hayom reported, following talks in Cairo between Hamas and international mediators. American and Arab sources told the outlet that the draft is designed to break the deadlock despite Hamas's resistance to conditions for ending the war. According to the outline, an initial truce would be tied to the release of half the hostages, with later negotiations addressing Hamas disarmament, the exile of its senior leaders, and the transfer of Gaza's civilian administration to an international body. A central element would see international oversight of civilian affairs begin during the truce itself, effectively curbing Hamas's authority before a final agreement. US officials described the draft as a 'last chance' for Hamas to avert an Israeli occupation. Hamas has signaled some flexibility on hostages and ceasefire terms but continues to reject demands to give up arms or political power. Israel Hayom added that President Donald Trump wants the conflict resolved within weeks or months, though Washington's backing for Israel's position is not 'open-ended.' Meanwhile, the death toll from the Israeli war has risen to 61,776, with 154,906 wounded since October 7, 2023, according to the Strip's Health Ministry. Since March 18, 2025 alone, 10,251 people have been killed and 42,865 injured.
