Military General Retired: ' Trump Pursues a Global Agenda '

"Worldwide Strategy of Trump Unveiled"

In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the international community is stepping up efforts to pressure President Putin into negotiations. EU President Antonio Costa has called for increased pressure on Russia, urging a push towards the negotiating table.

Ukraine has denied Russian reports of an advance in the city of Kupiansk, labelling them as propaganda. The Ukrainian General Staff reports that Russia has lost a staggering 1,085,410 soldiers since the start of the war, including both dead and wounded soldiers.

Several European heads of state and government, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, have begun consultations with US President Donald Trump on potential security guarantees for Ukraine. Merz has also threatened further sanctions against Russia if there is no progress in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Germany plans to propose at the conference of the "Coalition of the Willing" on Thursday to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and provide equipment for four mechanized infantry brigades. The US support for these security guarantees will be finalized in the coming days, following the meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing" in Paris.

The current "Coalition of the Willing" comprises around 30 countries, including key Western and European states such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Poland, Sweden, and others. These countries are actively cooperating on financing and equipping Ukraine, although an exact fixed list of all 30 countries is not specified in the available information.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned of a sustained threat from Russia and China, who are escalating their defense industrial cooperation. He has urged the international community to remain vigilant and supportive of Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Russian forces have attacked fuel facilities in Ukraine overnight, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Two civilians were killed in a Russian airstrike in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk. Russia has rejected plans for the possible deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine as "unacceptable."

Amidst these tensions, US President Donald Trump plans to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 countries are considering the formation of a security force for Ukraine after a ceasefire. Ukraine will now coordinate sanctions against Russia with the US.

In a positive development, the Ukraine and the US held the first board meeting of a joint investment fund, part of a resource agreement between the two countries. This fund is expected to boost economic cooperation between the two nations and provide much-needed resources for Ukraine's ongoing fight against Russian aggression.

Russia's former president, Dmitri Medvedev, has threatened the British government with the seizure of British assets due to its support for Ukraine. However, the international community remains resolute in its support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

As the conflict continues, the international community is hopeful that increased pressure on Russia, coupled with strong support for Ukraine, will lead to a negotiated settlement and an end to the violence.
