17.08.2025 โ‡ข Kyiv's Allies Converged

Early reports focused on President Trump's reported acceptance of Putin's terms for Ukraine to cede land as part of a peace deal, maintaining intense scrutiny of the Trump-Putin summit's aftermath.

Domestically, deployments of National Guard to Washington D.C. continued, alongside persistent protests against federal intervention.
