Ukraine may be forced to give up land held by Russia under ceasefire deal set to be agreed by Trump and Putin next week
Ukraine could be forced to give up territory captured by Russia under a ceasefire deal being drawn up by Moscow and Washington. The White House and the Kremlin are reportedly aiming to reach a deal that would secure Vladimir Putin 's illegal land grab. The details are expected to be agreed at a summit that Donald Trump and the Russian President are expected to attend next week. To the dismay of UK defence sources, an effective fait accompli would then be presented to Volodymyr Zelensky. The plans, reported by Bloomberg, echo joint US-Russian initiatives proposed earlier this year. It would cement Russia's control of regions captured and occupied by Putin's armies since the invasion in 2022. The timing of tonight's FRI reports was significant as they coincided with a deadline set by the US for Russia to commit to peace. Mr Trump had also announced he was prepared to cut the deadline from 50 days to 'ten to 12' due to the Kremlin's reluctance to end the fighting. While in recent days, Mr Zelensky's posts on social media have suggested Ukraine was positive about the possible outcomes after three and a half years of gruelling conflict. The US has also announced severe secondary tariffs on India, one of Russia's main trading partners, in a bid to force the Kremlin to the negotiating table. But hopes of a good deal for Ukraine appeared dashed last night An unnamed UK source described the developments revealed by Bloomberg as 'unsettling' and more likely to extend the conflict than shorten it. The source said: 'Ukraine's greatest fear since Trump's return to the White House has been a cosy deal between Trump and Putin. 'These concerns had been assuaged to some degree, prematurely, perhaps, based on what we're reading. 'Ukraine is unlikely to accept unfavourable terms and the UK would continue to support its ally, as would our international partners.' According to the Bloomberg report the US is working to get 'buy-in' from Ukraine and its European allies. Sources suggested their chances were slim if the deal includes Russian gaining outright control of provinces in eastern Ukraine. Privately, the Ukrainians are understood to accept they will not get back the territory they have lost. But ceding any more territory is considered a red line. Another suggestion is that Russia ceases its aerial bombardment of Ukrainian cities, which serve no conventional military purpose but cause civilian casualties.

NY attorney general blasts 'weaponization' following reported Trump administration probes
WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - New York Attorney General Letitia James' office on Friday accused President Donald Trump's administration of politicizing the legal system following reports that the Justice Department has opened an investigation into a fraud lawsuit she led against Trump. Prosecutors have convened a grand jury investigation and subpoenaed James' office for documents about the lawsuit against Trump and a separate case she brought against the National Rifle Association, a gun rights group, Fox News and The New York Times reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources. Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment. Abbe Lowell, a lawyer representing James, called the reported probe "the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president's political retribution campaign." 'Any weaponization of the justice system should disturb every American. We stand strongly behind our successful litigation against the Trump Organization and the National Rifle Association, and we will continue to stand up for New Yorkers' rights,' James' office said in a statement. The reported investigations would mark an escalation in the Trump administration's efforts to use government power to pursue retribution against those who have investigated or publicly resisted Trump and his political agenda. The civil fraud case, brought forward in 2022, resulted in a $355 million judgment against Trump last year after a judge found he fraudulently overstated his net worth to dupe lenders as he built his real estate empire. Trump is appealing. Trump has repeatedly claimed the case against him was brought for political reasons. The Justice Department has been scrutinizing the lawsuit as part of review of so-called weaponization of the government against Trump and his supporters.

Man filmed telling rioters to kill cops on Jan 6 is now working at Trump's DOJ
A man who was filmed telling rioters to kill police officers on January 6 is now working at Donald Trump 's Department of Justice. Bodycam footage shows Jared Lane Wise shouting at police officers in 2021, telling them that they are 'disgusting'. 'You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo and you can't see it because you're chasing your pension,' the former FBI agent cried, before shouting: 'F*** them! Kill them!' Wise is now working as a senior adviser in the DOJ, and in a statement shared with The Independent by the White House, the government department said it 'appreciates his contributions to our team'.
