Melania Trump 'Brokers' Oleshky Ceasefire - But The White House And Russia Give Different Start Dates
The White House said Friday that First Lady Melania Trump brokered a localized ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine's Kherson region, to let aid in and civilians out. The White House says it starts October 29, but Gen. Valery Gerasimov said Russian forces would stop firing October 27.

Melania Trump called Oleshky "a front-line war city on the brink of disaster" and said she anticipates "some will want to go to Russia, and some to Ukraine." Civilian leaders from both countries are to visit residents in their homes, and an "impartial American media organization" will document t...

Ukraine's Anti-Graft Cops Raid The Central Bank... So Where's The Gold?
Ukraine's wartime corruption saga, which so far has swept through the state nuclear monopoly, the president's former chief of staff and the prosecutor general's office, has now reached the one institution that was supposed to be above it all: the central bank.
On Wednesday morning, detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), working with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), searched the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) headquarters in Kyiv and the home of what the bureau coyly called "one of its employees." According to a law enforcement source cited by the Kyiv Independent, the premises searched belonged to Governor Andriy Pyshnyi himself, and MP Danylo Hetmantsev said as much publicly: the "employee" was the governor.
The NBU confirmed the searches and said it was operating as usual. By evening, Pyshnyi was on Facebook insisting that, per the court order, the...

Bipartisan Senators Challenge Trump's Russian Diesel Deal, Claim It Violates Federal Law
Authored by AG News Staff via American Greatness,
A bipartisan group of seven senators is demanding President Donald Trump reverse his decision to allow Russian diesel imports into the United States, arguing the agreement violates federal law and provides financial support to Moscow amid its ongoing war with Ukraine.
UNITED STATES - JUNE 4: Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., arrives for the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for President Trump's judicial nominees in the Hart Senate Office Building on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.

"President Trump's decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law," the senators said. "The Administration has also failed to con...

"State Terrorism": Putin Blasts Zelensky After Wild Threat Of Drone Attacks To 'De Facto Close' Russian Airspace
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky just issued a crazy and unexpected threat which portends a major escalation in the war. Certainly it will provoke the Kremlin into even more uncontrolled escalation and massive strikes, such as has been (somewhat unusually) happening on Odesa port as well as the capital city of late.
He has vowed moving forward to de facto close Russia's skies, and has put Russian airlines, insurers, and foreign governments on notice. Zelensky is in effect warning that airlines could be shot out of the sky - though he stopped short of voicing this directly.
"Today we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports - Russian skies are becoming completely dangerous,"Zelensky stated.

CIA Director Pushed Trump-Putin-Zelensky Summit During Moscow Visit: Report
Yet another take has been issued, and more alleged details, on CIA Director John Ratcliffe's Tuesday trip to Moscow, which took place amid great secrecy and still even days later has only been subject of immense speculation.
Axios is reporting over the weekend that the CIA chief proposed a trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky - when he met with top Kremlin intelligence officials but was not granted a direct meeting with Putin himself.
NBC/Getty Images: CIA Director John Ratcliffe, left, held talks in Moscow with Russia's foreign intelligence chief, Sergey Naryshkin, this week.
"Of course, President Putin is immediately briefed on everything," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, calling the meeting "a positive phenomenon" while not giving additional details.
The war has quite obviously ramped up this ...
