Will Ukraine attack Russia during Trump-Putin talks? Could this affect India?

Russia claims Ukraine plans to stage false flag attacks to disrupt the 15 Aug US-Russia talks. Allegedly, Western journalists were sent to Kharkiv to document fabricated incidents. Moscow warns this could escalate US-Russia tensions and prolong Ukraine war.

New Delhi: A historic meeting is going to be held in Alaska on 15 August 2025 between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. This will be the first meeting of the two leaders in Trump's second term, which is taking place between the Russia-Ukraine War and International Tension. Prior to this, Russia made a major charge on Ukraine, which has brought this talk more to discussion.

Russia's serious allegation on Ukraine

The Russian Ministry of Defense has claimed that the Ukrainian government is planning to make the Trump-Putin meeting fail. According to him, Ukraine's security agencies have sent some Western journalists to the Chuguev region of Kharkeev so that they can do false reporting.

Russia says the Ukrainian Army will attack hospitals or residential areas and put its responsibility on Russia, which can increase tension between the US and Russia.  Russian authorities believe that Ukraine is doing all this to weaken American-Russian cooperation so that no peaceful solution to the war can be found.

What does it mean for India?

This meeting is also directly related to India, as recently the Trump administration has imposed restrictions on countries buying Russian oil, including India. If there is an agreement between Trump and Putin, it can affect India's energy security and Russia's deals. The talks may be delayed further if it fails to bring the expected outcome.

What will be the result of this meeting?

Ukraine War Solution: Both leaders can try to end this struggle. Talking about oil and restrictions: US restrictions on Russian oil can be relaxed. India's concerns: If America pressures Russia, India may have to change its foreign policy.

Trump and Putin's next meeting in Russia?

Russian advisor Yuri Ushakov has indicated that the next meeting may be in Russia. It is clear that efforts are on to improve relations between the two countries. This meeting can be very important for global politics. If Trump and Putin find a solution to the war in Ukraine, it may lead to stability in international markets.

At the same time, India may also have to show flexibility in its strategy.
