War in Ukraine Continues: Putin Won’t Quit, Trump Threatens Secondary Sanctions!
Welcome to another day of hell in Ukraine, where the war is turning into a nightmare for civilians and soldiers alike. Vladimir Putin plans to keep fighting until the West agrees to his terms, while US President Donald Trump expresses disappointment and threatens Russia with secondary sanctions if a ceasefire isn’t reached within 50 days. Is this the start of a new escalation or just another round of empty threats?
Massive Russian Attacks and Civilian Casualties
The city of Kharkiv was hit today by a massive Russian assault involving 39 missiles and 39 drones, causing a fire at a civilian enterprise and injuring at least two people. Kharkiv regional governor Oleg Sinehubov confirmed the attack on a civilian facility, and local authorities warned Kyiv residents about the activation of air defenses due to incoming air raids.
Putin’s Stubborn Policy and Territorial Ambitions
Three Kremlin sources told Reuters that Putin plans to continue the war until the West agrees to peace talks on his terms. His territorial ambitions could expand further if Russian forces keep advancing. Russia’s economy is exhausted, but that hasn’t stopped the Kremlin from pushing its war agenda.
Trump’s Threats and US Support for Ukraine
Donald Trump has made it clear that the US will impose secondary sanctions on Russia if a ceasefire deal isn’t reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, the US and the European Union have agreed to supply weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot missile systems, unexpectedly supported by Melania Trump, the US president’s wife.
France and NATO in the Game
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced a visit to Kyiv on July 21 to express support for war-torn Ukraine. At the same time, Germany plans to host one of NATO’s most important military exercises in recent years at the end of September, further heating tensions.
Ukraine Suspends the Ottawa Convention
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law suspending the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines, a move that has raised international concern.
Chaos on the Frontline and Civilian Suffering
Despite diplomatic threats and military drills, chaos continues on the ground. Two people were injured in a fire caused by shelling in Kyiv’s Kharkiv district, and Russian forces are using Geran-2 drones. Kyiv residents have been warned to stay away from windows due to active air defenses.
Conclusion: The War Rages On, the World Watches and Remains Silent?
While Putin refuses to back down and Trump threatens sanctions, ordinary people in Ukraine pay the highest price. Will the West truly manage to stop this bloody spiral, or will we watch the conflict spread and deepen? What do you think—is this the beginning of the end or just another phase of endless suffering?
If you have your own thoughts, don’t hesitate to share them—maybe your word will spark a wave!
