Russian President Vladimir Putin has just issued a shocking ultimatum that has shaken the entire world! According to the presidential order reported by the Moscow Times on Thursday, Ukrainians living in Russia have until September 10 to legalise their immigration status or pack their bags and leave.

The order targets Ukrainians who “do not have legal grounds to stay or reside in Russia,” giving them just six months and 10 days to obtain Russian citizenship or move abroad. Ukrainian passport holders from the partially occupied regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — Russia claims it will annex these regions in 2022 — as well as residents of Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014. If you think this is a power play, you’re not wrong. Russian authorities have been forcing Ukrainians in these regions to get Russian passports for years. Putin even claimed last year that the mass distribution of citizenship was “almost complete,” according to the Moscow Times.

Ukraine is not staying silent on the issue. Kiev has criticised Russia’s “passportisation,” calling it illegal and a “gross violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty.” Western countries agree – the European Union has already declared these Russian passports useless as travel documents, and other governments are objecting as well. But Putin is not going to back down, and the stakes could be very high.

Meanwhile, the conspiracy is thickening as the ceasefire talks heat up! US President Donald Trump himself dropped a major bombshell on Wednesday, revealing that he had a “very good” hour-long conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Not stopping there, Trump also called Putin on Tuesday. What’s cooking? A ceasefire deal that could change everything! With talks set to begin in Jeddah on Sunday, Trump’s special envoy Steven Witkoff indicated that Ukraine is ready to support whatever Putin and Trump negotiate. “I had two meetings with President Putin,” Witkoff told Fox News. “One was three-and-a-half hours, the other was about four hours — both were interesting. We’ve narrowed down the issues quite a bit, especially from the Russian side, and we’re talking about real, concrete steps toward a ceasefire, including a ceasefire on energy infrastructure attacks.”
