Putin Rejects Talks With Ukraine’s ‘Illegitimate’ Leadership

                                                         Russian President Vladimir Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that it is “senseless” to sign any agreements with Ukraine’s current leadership, which he labeled as illegitimate. Speaking at a summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on November 27, 2025, Putin argued that Kyiv lost its legitimacy after failing to hold elections once President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s elected term expired. According to Putin, this undermines any potential negotiations or peace documents that might be signed with Zelenskyy’s government. Ukraine, however, maintains that elections cannot be conducted under martial law while the country is actively defending itself against Russia’s ongoing invasion.

FBI Investigates Motive Behind White House Ambush Shooting

 

Law enforcement respond at the scene after two National Guard members were shot near the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., November 26, 2025. 


Federal investigators are working to uncover the motive behind a shocking ambush attack that left two National Guard members critically wounded just blocks from the White House on Thanksgiving eve. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is leading the probe after authorities identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021.

The incident unfolded near the Farragut West Metro Station in Washington, D.C., where Guard members were conducting a high-visibility patrol. Officials say the suspect opened fire suddenly, striking two soldiers before being subdued in a gunfight with other troops. Both Guardsmen remain hospitalized in critical condition.

FBI Director Kash Patel described the shooting as an “ambush” and a targeted attack, while D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser echoed concerns that the violence was deliberate. President Donald Trump, who was in Florida at the time, condemned the act as terrorism and vowed severe consequences for the attacker.

Authorities are now examining whether the suspect acted alone or was influenced by extremist ideology. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Lakanwal’s identity and noted his arrival in the U.S. during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. Federal agencies are treating the case as a potential act of terrorism, though the precise motive remains unclear.

The attack has reignited debate over the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, a mission ordered months ago by President Trump and challenged in court by D.C. officials. As investigators search for answers, the nation grapples with the unsettling reality of violence striking at the heart of its capital.
