Russia Pulls Elite Forces From Ukraine\u2019s Northern Border to\u00a0Reinforce Pokrovsk Offensive<\/a><\/p>\n

If\u00a0captured, Pokrovsk would pave the way for Russian forces to\u00a0strike deeper into Donetsk, threatening the larger cities of\u00a0Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.<\/p>\n
The upcoming gathering in\u00a0Paris of\u00a0what\u2019s been dubbed the Coalition of\u00a0the Willing will focus on\u00a0finalizing Europe\u2019s role in\u00a0security guarantees for Ukraine after the\u00a0war. European leaders are also expected to\u00a0raise the issue with Donald Trump, pressing Washington to\u00a0clarify its contributions to\u00a0the framework and to\u00a0step up\u00a0sanctions against Moscow, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n
French President Emmanuel Macron, standing alongside Zelenskyy in\u00a0Paris last week, insisted that \u201cEurope is\u00a0ready to\u00a0provide security guarantees to\u00a0Kyiv,\u201d underscoring France\u2019s push to\u00a0present Europe as\u00a0a\u00a0reliable guarantor while keeping pressure on\u00a0the United States.<\/p>\n

Ukraine Recaptures Strategic Village Near Kupiansk, Cutting Off Russian Access Route<\/a><\/p>\n
\n Aug 31, 2025 11:59\n <\/p>\n
The Netherlands and Poland are sending their prime ministers to\u00a0the Paris meeting, while Britain, Italy, Germany, and the US\u00a0Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will participate via video link.<\/p>\n
For now, Europe has taken the lead in\u00a0drafting possible security arrangements for Ukraine. Options on\u00a0the table include postwar troop deployments, a\u00a0proposal that divides allies and has already drawn warnings from Moscow. Trump has ruled out sending US\u00a0soldiers but has signaled possible American support in\u00a0the form of\u00a0air power and intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cUkraine is\u00a0going to\u00a0have to\u00a0agree with whatever the security architecture is,\u201d US\u00a0Ambassador to\u00a0NATO Matthew\u00a0G. Whitaker told reporters in\u00a0Slovenia this week. But he\u00a0added that Russia, too, would \u201chave to\u00a0be\u00a0comfortable\u201d with the eventual arrangement.<\/p>\n

Russia Intensifies Lyman Assaults With Fresh Troops, Chemical Weapons, Ukrainian Officer Warns<\/a><\/p>\n
\n Aug 20, 2025 14:42\n <\/p>\n
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said a\u00a0clear agreement on\u00a0security guarantees is\u00a0\u201cextremely important\u201d before any meeting involving Putin and Zelenskyy. But momentum has slowed in\u00a0recent weeks, with talks stalling as\u00a0Russia gears up\u00a0for further attacks.<\/p>\n
Despite months of\u00a0grinding assaults, Russia\u2019s summer campaign has netted only marginal gains\u2014about 2,033 square kilometers between May and August, or\u00a0just 0.3% of\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s total territory, according to\u00a0estimates.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0the same time, Moscow has intensified<\/a> its bombardments: July was Ukraine\u2019s deadliest month for civilians since May 2022, with 589\u00a0killed and 1,152 wounded, UN\u00a0figures show. The August 28\u00a0strike on\u00a0Kyiv killed at\u00a0least\u00a025.<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stressed that strengthening Ukraine\u2019s armed forces remains the most credible security guarantee for\u00a0now.<\/p>\n
\u201cUkraine must be\u00a0able to\u00a0defend itself in\u00a0the long term, and we\u00a0want to\u00a0help it\u00a0do\u00a0so, both now and in\u00a0the future,\u201d Merz said, adding that military support must continue even through eventual peace talks with Russia.<\/p>\n
