Putin Defies Trump Ultimatum, Ukraine Reels from Brutal Russian Onslaught
Russia unleashed a fresh wave of violence on Ukraine on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, targeting civilian areas with precision-guided glide bombs and missiles. At least 22 Ukrainian civilians perished in the attacks.
The strikes deliberately targeted a prison and several medical facilities, underscoring the escalating brutality of the conflict. Eyewitnesses reported scenes of widespread devastation and chaos in the affected regions.
Earlier, former US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, demanding a cessation of hostilities within 10-12 days.
The Kremlin swiftly rejected Trump’s ultimatum, dismissing it as an unwarranted interference in Russia’s “military operations”. This defiant response was followed by retaliatory drone strikes launched by Ukrainian forces.
The escalating conflict raises serious concerns about regional stability and the potential for further humanitarian crises. The international community is now grappling with the urgent need for a diplomatic solution to avert further bloodshed. The defiance of the ultimatum casts a long shadow on peace efforts and leaves the future of the conflict deeply uncertain.
