Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday outlined firm conditions for a «real peace» ahead of a high-stakes meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday.
Zelenskyy posted to X following his call with Trump and then with European leaders, after Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska to try and bring about an end to the 3 ½ year war.
«The positions are clear. A real peace must be achieved, one that will be lasting, not just another pause between Russian invasions,» Zelenskyy wrote.

«Killings must stop as soon as possible, the fire must cease both on the battlefield and in the sky, as well as against our port infrastructure. All Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians must be released and the children abducted by Russia must be returned.»
Zelenskyy wrote that thousands of Ukrainians remain in captivity and must all be released, while adding that pressure on Russia must be maintained while the «aggression and occupation continue.»
In a follow-up post, Zelenskyy warned of Russian «treachery» that could lead to attacks in order to gain leverage amid ongoing negotiations.
«Based on the political and diplomatic situation around Ukraine, and knowing Russia’s treachery, we anticipate that in the coming days the Russian army may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors,» he wrote.

TRUMP REVEALS 10 STRIKING TAKEAWAYS FROM PUTIN SUMMIT IN HANNITY INTERVIEW
Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with Trump in the White House on Monday as the three nations try and bring an end to the bloodshed.
Trump wrote on Truth Social following the Putin meeting that he felt a peace agreement, rather than a ceasefire, was ultimately the best way to solve the war. Trump had been calling for a ceasefire ahead of his meeting with Putin.
«It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up,» Trump wrote.
He said if Monday’s meeting with Zelenskyy also goes well, a meeting will be scheduled with Putin and «potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved.»
Zelenskyy’s visit will mark his first return to the Oval Office since February, when Trump berated him publicly for being «disrespectful» during a remarkable press briefing, which led to the collapse of a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal.
Though a peace agreement was not decided upon during the meeting on Friday, Trump described it as a successful meeting with «a lot of progress» made. Putin expressed similar sentiments, adding the summit was a «constructive atmosphere of mutual respect.»
After his meeting with Putin, Trump also spoke to European leaders, who said they back Trump’s peace push but insist Ukraine must have «ironclad» security guarantees to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The European leaders did not address whether a peace deal was preferable to a ceasefire.

«It will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory. International borders must not be changed by force,» a statement signed by various leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
«No limitations should be placed on Ukraine’s armed forces or on its cooperation with third countries. Russia cannot have a veto against Ukraine‘s pathway to EU and NATO.»
During an interview with Fox News before returning to Washington, Trump insisted the onus going forward might be on Zelenskyy «to get it done,» but said there would also be some involvement from European nations.

Escándalo en Brasil: dos influencers se grabaron mientras les regalaban una banana y un mono a nenes negros
Las influencers Kerollen Cunha Ferreira y Nancy Gonçalves Cunha Ferreira, madre e hija, fueron condenadas a 12 años de cárcel por la Justicia de Río de Janeiro por un episodio de racismo que sacudió a Brasil: en un video viral, ofrecieron una banana y un mono de peluche a dos nenes negros en tono de burla.
La jueza Simone de Faria Ferraz, del tribunal Criminal de São Gonçalo, consideró que las acusadas “animalizaron” a los chicos y “monetizaron el dolor” de las víctimas, de 9 y 10 años, que sufrieron bullying tras la publicación del video.

El fallo determinó que ambas deberán pagar 20 mil reales (3600 dólares) de indemnización a cada una de las víctimas, además de cumplir una pena de prisión.
Las mujeres, que viven en Río, tienen más de un millón de seguidores en Instagram y 13 millones de suscriptores en TikTok. “El delito perdura en el tiempo y adquiere proporciones verdaderamente monstruosas cuando publicaron, sin piedad ni respeto, sus reacciones inmaduras e inocentes en redes sociales», afirmó la jueza acerca de lo que sufrieron las víctimas
Un caso que expuso el “racismo recreativo” y la humillación pública
El episodio ocurrió cuando las influencers abordaron a los niños en la calle y, entre risas, les dieron a elegir entre dinero o un regalo sorpresa.
Al abrir el paquete y encontrarse con una banana, el primer chico responde “¿Eso es todo?”, manifestó su disgusto y se fue.
En otra grabación, la mujer detuvo a una nena y le hizo una propuesta similar: le ofreció 5 reales o una caja. La nena eligió el “regalo”, abrió la caja, vio que era un mono de peluche, abrazó feliz al juguete y le agradeció a la influencer.

El video fue presentado como contenido humorístico en redes sociales, lo que para la magistrada constituyó un claro caso de “racismo recreativo”, ya que tanto la banana como el mono son símbolos históricamente asociados con estereotipos racistas.

La sentencia también prohíbe a las condenadas publicar contenidos similares y mantener contacto con las víctimas. Una vez que la condena quede firme, se librarán órdenes de detención.
El impacto en las víctimas y la reacción de la Justicia
La jueza subrayó que el nene que recibió la banana fue llamado “mono” en la escuela y abandonó su sueño de ser futbolista. La niña, por su parte, terminó aislada y necesitó apoyo psicológico.
Durante el juicio, las influencers intentaron justificar sus actos diciendo que no tenían intención de ofender y que solo seguían una “trend” de TikTok.

Nancy Gonçalves declaró que no sabía qué era el racismo y que solo quería “alegrar a los chicos”. Kerollen Cunha dijo que recién entendió la gravedad de lo ocurrido cuando el video generó repudio en redes sociales.
La jueza rechazó de lleno las excusas de las influencers: “Nada podría ser más absurdo que sugerir que en estos tiempos de conocimiento inmediato y de fácil acceso, las acusadas desconocían lo que es el racismo. Las acusadas no vivían en una tribu aislada, sin redes sociales, lejos de todo y de todos, absortas en sí mismas. ¡No, no! Se ganaban la vida, precisamente a través de publicaciones en internet».
Un fallo con peso simbólico y jurídico
Los abogados de las familias celebraron la sentencia y destacaron que “las infancias negras no pueden ser objeto de humillación recreativa y que el racismo estructural debe encontrar resistencia efectiva en el Poder Judicial”. Consideraron que el fallo es un “hito simbólico y jurídico” que busca “transformar la memoria de impunidad en un compromiso real con la igualdad y la dignidad humana”.

El abogado de las influencers anunció que apelarán la condena
El abogado Mário Jorge dos Santos Tavares, que representa a las influencers, manifestó su respeto por la Justicia pero adelantó que apelarán la condena ante el Tribunal de Justicia de Río de Janeiro. Sostuvo que sus defendidas “siempre colaboraron con el proceso y confían en que la Justicia reconocerá su inocencia”.
Por ahora, ambas podrán esperar el resultado del recurso en libertad, pero la sentencia marca un precedente en la lucha contra el racismo en Brasil.

The Trump administration’s migrant detention center in the Everglades has become the subject of two lawsuits, which are threatening to derail the facility’s operations as the government employs novel tactics to crack down on immigration enforcement.
The new facility, nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz, is facing allegations that its hundreds of detainees are unable to properly communicate with lawyers, did not have access to an immigration court until recently and are living in inhumane conditions.
A second lawsuit alleges that the makeshift detention center, made up of tents and trailers and surrounded by wetlands and wildlife, is also being built unlawfully within a sensitive habitat for endangered species.
TRUMP SAYS ONLY WAY OUT OF ‘ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ’ IS DEPORTATION

Ron DeSantis, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem walk through a medical facility section as they tour a migrant detention center, dubbed «Alligator Alcatraz,» located at the site of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Ochopee, Florida on July 1, 2025.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the first complaint on behalf of several detained migrants, saw a small setback Monday night when Judge Rodolfo Ruiz said its claims should have been brought in the Middle District of Florida rather than in the Southern District.
Ruiz, a Trump appointee, said the case must be transferred to that district, finding that the alleged violations occurred at the facility, which is located in Collier County, about 50 miles from Miami.
The ACLU, along with other groups, argued in their lawsuit that some detainees were not given the ability to communicate confidentially with an attorney and that up until recently, the Trump administration had not designated any immigration court as having jurisdiction over the detained migrants, of which there were about 700.

«This is an unprecedented situation where hundreds of detainees are held incommunicado, with no ability to access the courts, under legal authority that has never been explained and may not exist,» the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote.
Although not part of their legal claims, the attorneys said their clients were being held in «harsh and inhumane conditions» that included one meal per day, no access to daily showers, excessive force by guards and a lack of medical care. They are «kept around the clock in a cage inside a tent,» the attorneys said.
The Department of Homeland Security, which is working in coordination with the state of Florida to build Alligator Alcatraz, disputed claims by detainees of poor conditions.

«Here are the facts: Alligator Alcatraz does meet federal detention standards,» DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said. «All detainee facilities are clean. Any allegations of inhumane conditions are FALSE. When will the media stop peddling hoaxes about illegal alien detention centers and start focusing on American victims of illegal alien crime?»
Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has said the facility is designed to be temporary and a means of alleviating the burden on other detention centers. DeSantis has said he hopes Alligator Alcatraz, which was constructed on an airport, will be a «force multiplier» for Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.

In a separate case, Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, is considering whether Alligator Alcatraz should be halted for violating the National Environmental Policy Act.
Williams placed a 14-day hold on all construction of the facility, but that order is set to expire Aug. 21. The judge vowed to issue another order by that date, saying the temporary harm to the government caused by pausing construction was not as great as the harm that would be caused if she found a lack of compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Israel eliminates Gaza terrorist who took part in October attack on kibbutz, took Yarden Bibas hostage
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israel took out a terrorist during an airstrike earlier this month who was involved in the abduction of an Israeli man on Oct. 7, 2023, authorities said Tuesday.
The strike, which occurred in Gaza on Aug. 10, killed Jihad Kamal Salem Najjar, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, announced.
«A small part of my closure happened today. Thank you to the IDF, the Shin Bet, and everyone who took part in the elimination of one of the terrorists who kidnapped me on October 7,» Yarden Bibas said in a statement provided by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. «Thanks to you, he will not be able to harm anyone else.
EX-ISRAELI OFFICIAL OFFERS BOLD 2-PRONGED STRATEGY AS ‘THE ONLY WAY’ TO FREE HOSTAGES FROM HAMAS

«Please take care of yourselves, heroes. I am waiting for full closure with the return of my friends David and Ariel, and the remaining 48 hostages,» he added.
Najjar was involved in the invasion of the Kibbutz Nir Oz, one of the hardest hit during the deadly Oct. 7 attacks, where Bibas was kidnapped. Bibas’ family was kidnapped separately and was eventually murdered while in captivity.
He spent 480 days as a hostage before he was released in January. His wife, Shiri, and their two young children, Ariel and Kfir, were killed before their bodies were returned to Israel.
While in captivity, Bibas was forced to make a hostage film in which he was seen breaking down as Hamas claimed his wife and children had been killed.

Hamas often uses hostage videos as part of what the IDF calls «psychological terror.»
Upon his release, Bibas’ family said that «a quarter of our heart has returned to us after 15 long months. … Yarden has returned home, but the home remains incomplete.»
In the aftermath of Hamas’ attack, the Bibas family became a symbol of the terror group’s cruelty. Video footage of Shiri Bibas holding her two red-headed children in her arms went viral across the globe.
Pictures of the Bibas family and Oded Lifshitz, 84, who were kidnapped during the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas and then killed, are displayed next to candles in the dining room in Kibbutz Nir Oz, after their bodies were handed over to Israel under the terms of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, on the day of Lifshitz’s funeral, in Kibbutz Nir Oz, Israel Feb. 25, 2025.
