In a lightning strike that stunned Ukrainian defenses, Russian troops have surged across the eastern front, smashing through fortified lines and driving deep toward key strongholds. Explosions and plumes of smoke marked the advance as Moscow’s forces severed vital supply routes and forced a scramble among Ukrainian units to hold the line.
The sudden assault lands just days before President Trump and President Putin are set to meet in Alaska, raising alarms that the battlefield push is as much about political theater as it is military conquest. Analysts say the offensive appears designed to hand Putin a symbolic victory to bring to the table, a move that could shift the tone and stakes of the summit.
President Zelenskyy has vowed Ukraine will not yield, even as reinforcements race to the embattled sector. But with the situation on the ground evolving by the hour, the drama now stretches from the trenches of Donetsk to the icy meeting halls of Anchorage—where two world leaders will soon face each other amid the roar of a fresh warfront.
