1in.am On July 27, the State Duma of the Russian Federation held its last session, after which President Vladimir Putin received the deputies in the Kremlin.
RIA Novosti reported that in response to one of their remarks that "it is necessary to act more boldly on the battlefield," Vladimir Putin replied that in war, "as well as in the economic sphere, there are risks, the price of which is our losses on the battlefield, so we must act accurately here as well, but with persistence and consistency in achieving the goals set before our country, we will reach them."
On the day of Putin's meeting with the deputies of the State Duma, Ukrainian President Zelensky was in London. The newly elected Prime Minister of Great Britain, Braverman, held his first international meeting with him. According to reports, Ukraine has received British radio-electronic warfare equipment, as well as a license to organize local production of these systems.
The Ukrainian president left London for Washington. On July 28, U.S. President Trump received him in the Oval Office of the White House. The closed negotiations lasted "about an hour." Zelensky described the meeting as "good." He made a post on the social platform X, indicating that the main subject of the negotiations was not so much the Patriot missiles, but rather the "reloading" of the negotiation process with Russia.
Despite the painful missile-drone strikes inflicted by Ukraine on Russia, the Russian side continues its attacks along the contact line. An anonymous military source told Unian that "the situation in Konstantinovka is significantly deteriorating, and Ukrainian forces are fighting to push the enemy out of separate buildings."
The U.S. and Ukraine, according to reports, are "discussing the idea of presenting a proposal for an air ceasefire to Russia." Ahead of Zelensky's visit to Washington, the press secretary of the Russian president, Peskov, assessed that "freezing the conflict is impossible." Bloomberg expressed the opinion that "after the U.S. withdrew from the Anchorage agreements, Vladimir Putin has tightened the demands on Ukraine."
In Manila, after half an hour of negotiations with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov characterized Moscow's position as "predatory": пацан сказал, пацан сделал. It seems that Putin has set the task of internationally "breaking" Trump's "omnipotent" image.
