{"content":"**Trump Shared Putin’s Demand: ‘Give Up Donetsk or Stop Fighting’—Zelensky Refused** At a high-stakes Alaska summit, Trump relayed Putin’s offer to Zelensky: surrender remaining Ukrainian-held parts of Donetsk in exchange for a ceasefire. Russia already controls most of the industrial region, but Zelensky firmly rejected the demand, citing Ukraine’s constitutional ban on ceding territory.

Ukraine stands firm: no territorial concessions, no shortcuts. #UkrainePeace #TrumpPutinSummit #Geopolitics *Source: Reuters via NDTV*","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025082025/08/18/d9fd64bad2824c16a4289f18bf72e317.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
