Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Near Russia, Issues August 8 Ceasefire Ultimatum

In a bold escalation amid growing tensions with Moscow, U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of two nuclear-powered submarines near Russian territorial waters. The strategic move is intended as a deterrent response to heightened rhetoric from the Kremlin and what the White House calls Russia's "continued aggression."

Alongside the show of force, President Trump sharply shortened the ceasefire deadline for Russia, setting August 8 as the final date for compliance. Failure to adhere, he warned, would trigger secondary sanctions not only against Russia but also against its key energy partners — including India and China — escalating pressure on the global stage.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, has signaled no intention to meet the deadline or alter his military strategy.

The rapid escalation has drawn global attention, with The Times and The Sun reporting on the rising risk of a broader conflict. Analysts warn the situation could spiral if diplomatic channels fail in the coming days.
