President Donald Trump said Thursday he's been "let down" by his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin."The one that I thought would be easiest would be because of my relationship with President Putin," Trump said during a joint press conference in London with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "But he's let me down. He's really let me down. Was going to be Russia and Ukraine. But we'll see how that turns out."Months of U.S.-led peace negotiations including an Alaska summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have not led to breakthroughs in ending the war in Ukraine."War is a different thing," Trump said. "Things happen that are very opposite of what you thought. You thought you're going to have an easy time or a hard time, and it turns out to be the reverse."TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY TO MET AS POLAND PRESSURES NATO ON NO FLY ZONE OVER UKRAINETrump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly next week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday. Putin will not be in attendance Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.Trump said of Putin: "He's killing many people, and he's losing more people that he's, you know, than he's killing. I mean, frankly, the Russian soldiers are being killed at a higher rate than the Ukrainian soldiers, but, yeah, he's let me down. I don't like to see it's death."The president then mused that the war "doesn't affect the United States."To Starmer, he said, "Of course, you are a lot closer to the scene than we are. We have a whole ocean separating us. But I will say this. It's millions of people have died in that war. Millions of souls. And they're not American soldiers, mostly soldiers. As you know, the soldiers are being killed at levels nobody's seen since the Second World War, but they're being, they're being killed. And I feel I have an obligation to get it settled for that reason."Meanwhile, Ukraine expects $3.5 billion in U.S. weapons to soon funnel in to fund its war effort, Zelenskyy said Wednesday."We will definitely have Patriot and HIMARS missiles," he said during a press conference on Wednesday."We have received more than $2 billion from our partners specifically for the PURL program. We will get additional funds in October. I think we will reach about $3.53.6 billion," the president added. That funding came from Ukraines allies in Europe.The U.S. approved the first new weapons packages for Ukraine this week. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby signed off on two $500 million packages under the PURL program, Reuters first reported."The Department of War has facilitated this first sale of weapons in line with President Trumps America First priorities and efforts to bring this brutal war, which was brought on by Joe Bidens incompetence, to an end," a senior administration official told Fox News Digital, confirming the sale.The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, was created to streamline Ukraines access to advanced weapons by pooling allied contributions into U.S.-managed procurement. Instead of sending cash directly to Kyiv, partners commit funds that Washington uses to acquire systems from American defense firms.Germany, Poland, the UK, and other NATO members are believed to be leading contributors, though the exact breakdown hasnt been made public.TRUMP'S NATO DEAL TO ARM UKRAINE WINS OVER GOP SKEPTICSTrumps decision to rely on NATO allies money rather than seek additional congressional appropriations marks a sharp shift in U.S. policy, allowing him to sustain Ukraines arsenal while deflecting criticism from lawmakers wary of more taxpayer-funded aid.In July the Pentagon halted weapons shipments to Ukraine, which had been approved under the Biden administration, citing strains on the U.S.s own munitions stockpiles. Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a review of U.S. stockpiles after years of depletion for the war in Ukraine, as well as operations against the Houthis in the Middle East and assistance to Israel for its war in Gaza.The renewed weapons flow also underscores strains on the U.S. defense industrial base. The Pentagon is racing to double monthly artillery shell output, but leaders admit replenishment will take years amid competing demands from Ukraine, Israel and operations in the Middle East.PENTAGON HALTS SOME WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE OVER CONCERNS ABOUT US STOCKPILESArmy Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George has warned that using multimillion-dollar interceptors against cheap drones is unsustainable, urging industry to innovate toward lower-cost defenses. The imbalance between high-end U.S. systems and Russias mass use of inexpensive drones and artillery is now one of the wars defining strategic challenges.The Armys goal is to double the monthly output of 150mm rounds by leveraging advanced automation.Gen. George said the service branch is also looking at new ways companies can produce munitions "that get us back to the cost curve," meaning cost-equivalent or cheaper than the incoming weapons they are shooting down. "What we don't want to do is shoot $3 million missiles at $50,000 drones or $10,000 drones."

The sports world continues to be shaken up by the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.Kirk was shot while debating at Utah Valley University and died of his injuries soon after.Many prominent figures in sports reacted to the news, and in a recent appearance on Logan Paul's podcast, UFC president Dana White shared his thoughts.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I just woke up, and my phone was blowing up.

But that's a lot of the times how progress is made.""When you are unable to talk, shoot and go to violence is just so pathetic," Paul continued. "It's so weak, and I think it's totally against everything that is America."White replied, "That's what happens with people who aren't intelligent enough to debate."Paul also said he "really respected" Kirk for "his ability to step into a room and be the person who he said he was."Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

ABC's "The View" co-hosts skipped the news Thursday that network colleague Jimmy Kimmel's show had been pulled from the air the day before."The View," which operates under ABC's news division, did not discuss the Disney-owned network pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," a story that broke the night before, dominating news coverage and prompting outrage from liberals.Kimmel's show was pulled after the liberal late-night host suggested Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was part of the "MAGA gang," sparking criticism from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and leading two major ABC affiliate owners to yank the program.The co-hosts typically provide commentary on major headlines and news at the start of the show for segments they call "Hot Topics."

Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group expressed to ABC that they would preempt "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on their affiliate stations before ABC yanked the show entirely on Wednesday night.According to reports, Kimmel had planned to address the controversy on Wednesday night's show and say his remarks were being taken out of context before he was taken off the air.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Joseph Wulfsohn contributed to this report.

A Florida woman and her puppy are recovering after surviving a harrowing alligator attack.It happened earlier this month in Paso County, FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported. Danie Wright told the local TV station that she was walking her small, 4-month-old puppy named Dax behind her home when they were attacked by the wild animal. Wright said her family has lived at the location for roughly 20 years, and had never seen an alligator there before."So, I walked him back here, which I very rarely do," she said. "He was on a leash and everything, but I had just heard a squeal, and then I got tugged."MISSING NEW ORLEANS BOY, 12, DIED AFTER ALLIGATOR ATTACK, DROWNING: AUTHORITIESWright said she and the dog were only a few feet away from the creek that had algae and debris covering the surface at the time, providing cover for the lurking alligator."As soon as he went in the creek, I went into the creek and realized, 'Oh god, this is an alligator'," she said.FLORIDA TEEN FIGHTS OFF ALLIGATOR THAT DRAGGED HER UNDERWATERShe believes the gator grabbed onto the dog's AirTag collar."It looked like he had him by the throat," she said. "Literally a half a centimeter, I think, it would have just punctured in his throat and most likely killed him."Wright used her free arm to rip the five-pound puppy out of the alligator's jaws, and threw him onto the steep bank."But my left arm was in the alligator at this point," she said, realizing she had to fight for her own life."I got him flipped over with my left arm in his mouth and I punched a couple of times and I think I did like an elbow, and got him like right here, and he just loosened his grip enough that I could pull it out," the gator attack survivor said.Wright called 911 for help, which included a trapper that captured the gator."Put your phones down," she said. "I was on my phone, standing here, facing the other way of him with a creek behind me."

FIRST ON FOX Two Virginia boys who were suspended after complaining about a transgender classmate in their locker room have won emergency relief in federal court.Earlier this year, the Loudoun County Public Schools district in Northern Virginia launched a Title IX sexual harassment investigation into two high-school-aged boys after they were videotaped by a biological female who identified as transgender inside the boys' locker room. The video caught them outwardly complaining to each other about the fact that there was a girl using their facilities.That moment resulted in a Title IX investigation launched by the Northern Virginia school district into the two boys, which ultimately found the pair responsible for sexual harassment, a mark that will be placed on their permanent records, and suspended them for 10 days.The boys' parents and their legal representatives appealed the district's Title IX ruling, but the appeal was denied. The parents then took their case to federal court. Within days of the federal court filing, a judge subsequently granted the parents and their boys emergency relief, blocking the district's disciplinary repercussions once again while the case moves forward.PARENTS: VIRGINIA BOYS SUSPENDED AFTER QUESTIONING TRANSGENDER LOCKER ROOM POLICY WERE IGNORED BY SCHOOL"We are very pleased with the Courts decision and we look forward to fighting on behalf of our clients," said Ian Prior, senior counselor at the Trump-aligned legal group America First Legal (AFL). AFL joined the Founding Freedoms Law Center in the case after it went into federal court.One of the boys and their families moved out of state, but the other still goes to school within the Loudoun County Public Schools system. Amid the earlier Title IX appeal by the boys' families and their legal counsel, the suspension was previously stalled, but it resumed after the district's denial of their appeal last week. However, the suspension has now been placed on hold again, following the court's order for emergency relief.Judge Leonie Brinkema, from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, said in her order that there was enough evidence showing that keeping the one boy suspended for the first 10 days of school could cause "irreparable harm."VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTES TO KEEP GENDER BATHROOM POLICY, DEFYING DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DIRECTIVE"For a court to issue a temporary restraining order, a plaintiff 'must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest,'" the judge wrote in her order. "The loss of 10 days of in-person school early in the school year could have serious negative effects on [the plaintiff], and it appears from the record before the Court that [the plaintiff] has not had contact with the complaining student or continued communicating about that student. Therefore, the Court finds that the balance of equities tips in [the plaintiff's] favor, given that [the plaintiff] is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a temporary restraining order The Court also finds that the public interest is best served by ensuring high school students remain in school and receive adequate process before being suspended."Brinkema added in her ruling that she is "not certain" that the plaintiffs will succeed on the merits of their argument, but she did concede that the allegations put forward by the parents and their legal counsel were "troubling."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe lawsuit from AFL and the Founding Freedoms Law Center on behalf of the boys and their parents is demanding that the "false Title IX charge" against both of the boys for sexual harassment be dropped from their records, an immediate termination of the boys' suspension, and compensation for "severe emotional, reputational, and educational harm.""This isnt just about our sons its about every child in Loudoun County. If the district can weaponize Title IX in this way, no family is safe," Seth Wolfe, the father of one of the boys said. "No parent should have to fear their child will be branded a sexual harasser simply for standing up for their privacy."The Loudoun County Public Schools district did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The suspect in Pennsylvaniawho allegedly shot and killed three police officers and wounded two more was being sought on stalking and trespassing charges, a report said.Matthew James Ruth was identified by The Associated Press as the suspect who allegedly opened fire Wednesday at a farm in rural York County before being killed by police. The news agency cited a law enforcement official on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.The violence erupted after Ruth, 24, was charged with stalking, trespassing, loitering and prowling at night in a domestic-related investigation that began a day earlier, court documents show.The two wounded officers were taken to a hospital and remain in critical but stable condition, according to officials. York County District Attorney Tim Barker and the Pennsylvania State Police are expected to provide a further update on the case at 3 p.m. Thursday. 5 POLICE OFFICERS SHOT, 3 DEAD IN PENNSYLVANIA, FBI INVESTIGATINGPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said during a news conference Wednesday he is continuing to pray for everyone involved."This is an absolutely tragic and devastating day for your county and for the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," Shapiro said.

We continue to pray for the full recovery of those who are dealing with their wounds."The FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Pennsylvania State Police are assisting local authorities.The shooting came just a few months after another York County officer was killed in the line of duty.MULTIPLE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN PENNSYLVANIA SHOOTING AS GOVERNOR RUSHES TO YORK COUNTY SCENEShapiro said Attorney General Pam Bondi reached out to him directly and said the state has the full support of the federal government.Bondi condemned the violence in an X post, saying violence against law enforcement is "a scourge on our society and never acceptable."The confrontation unfolded on a rural road in south-central Pennsylvania, not far from Maryland. Neighbor Dirk Anderson told the AP he heard "quite a few" shots from his home across the street and wondered what was happening. Then he saw a helicopter and police arrive.Some 30 police vehicles blocked off roads bordered by a barn, a goat farm and soybean and corn fields.

Actress Amanda Seyfried apparently attempted to backtrack on her comments criticizing slain activist Charlie Kirk.Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed September 10 while holding an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He is survived by his wife and two young children.While many conservatives and some liberals have mourned him as a symbol of Americas commitment to free speech and political dialogue, others have argued that his rhetoric invited harsh reactions.CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDERMany public figures have faced backlash for condemning Kirk after his death and Seyfried, famous for starring in the 2004 hit "Mean Girls," is one of the latest examples.According to screenshots circulating online, Seyfried commented that Kirk was "hateful" on Instagram and shared a post that read, "You cant invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating."After the backlash on multiple platforms, she wrote in a public post: "Were forgetting the nuance of humanity. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirks murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable."NETWORKS CAN'T FIND ANY BLAME FOR THE LEFT IN CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER"No one should have to experience this level of violence," she added. "This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings.

I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context. Spirited discourse- isnt that what we should be having?"Fox News Digital reached out to Seyfrieds management and did not receive an immediate reply.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed ABC's decision to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air following the late-night host's controversial remarks about the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk."Corrupt, despicable, & spineless behavior," Newsom's press office account posted on X Wednesday. "A coordinated effort to control the media is happening before our eyes & it needs to be called out."On his personal account, the governor added that Republicans were "buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These arent coincidences. Its coordinated. And its dangerous. The GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time."FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR DEFENDS ABC AFFILIATES PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW AFTER MONOLOGUE MOCKING CHARLIE KIRKDisney, ABC's parent company, confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday that Kimmel's show, which is based in Los Angeles, would be pulled "indefinitely."Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced in a press release it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about Kirk's alleged assassin. Sinclair Broadcast Group followed suit."Mr. Kimmels comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views or values of the local communities in which we are located," Nexstar's broadcasting chief, Andrew Alford, said in a press release.On Monday, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in Tuesdays indictment.TRUMP CALLS DISNEY PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL'S SHOW 'GREAT NEWS FOR AMERICA'Following Kimmel's comments, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr issued a warning against Disney if the media giant failed to address the controversy.Carr called Kimmel's comments "some of the sickest conduct" and suggested there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue during a Wednesday appearance on "The Benny Show."Nexstar and Sinclair soon after announced they were preempting Kimmel's programs on their stations, and Disney then announced Wednesday night it was yanking the show indefinitely.Critics of ABC's decision argued that Kimmel's show was pulled due to politics and that the move would have a chilling effect on free speech.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREDemocratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker echoed a similar message to Newsom, slamming the decision as an "undemocratic act" intended to silence the voices President Donald Trump doesn't like."A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnt like what they say," he wrote on X Wednesday. "This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act."Conversely, Trump took to social media to celebrate the show's suspension on Wednesday, congratulating ABC on their decision."Great News for America," he wrote on Truth Social. "The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he believes Senate Democrats are posturing for a government shutdown to score a political win with their base, and hes trying to prevent it.In an interview with Fox News Digital, Thune argued that Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., lack a real reason for not backing the GOPs short-term government funding extension other than to appease the "far left."Thune said that in March, when Democrats last joined Republicans to keep the government open, Schumer and his caucus made a "very different argument" about averting a partial government shutdown, but the move was unpopular with their political base.SENATE REPUBLICANS BRAND LOOMING CRISIS A 'SCHUMER SHUTDOWN' AS DEMOCRATS DIG IN"It's getting to the point now where their base [has] got so much influence in the party, and they're so demanding on just resisting and fighting everything, with respect to the Trump administration, that they can't see straight," Thune said. "It is borderline pathological. It's like a disease," he continued. "They just that this is something with which they're afflicted, and I think it really blurs their vision. And I think they run the risk with this, again, of putting themselves in a position of where they are viewed as the party that's trying to block the government from being funded."House Republicans unveiled their stopgap bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), earlier this week that would keep the government open under current spending levels until Nov. 21.The bill is "clean," meaning there arent partisan policy or spending riders, save for the millions meant for beefing up security measures for lawmakers, the judicial branch and the administration, and funding meant for Washington, D.C.s budget.While the Republican-controlled House is expected to pass the bill on Friday, the Senate is a different story. Despite Thune commanding a majority in the upper chamber, he will need Senate Democrats to support the bill. And so far, they arent budging.TRUMP PRESSURES REPUBLICANS TO PASS A CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNThune contended that the bill is everything that Democrats when they controlled the Senate under former President Joe Biden dreamed of: a clean, short-term bill. But the issue at hand now is a matter of communication.Schumer has accused Thune of not speaking with him, or Senate Democrats more broadly, about the bill, and he has labeled the GOPs push to avert a partial government shutdown a partisan effort led by President Donald Trump.But Thune said he did try to talk to Schumer last week when the GOP was gearing up to change Senate rules to blast through Democrats blockade of Trumps nominees.Thune went to Schumer on the floor to discuss the then-ongoing talks between Republicans and Democrats on a since-failed deal for confirmations, but he recalled that the Democratic leader brushed him off."He couldn't get out of the conversation fast enough," Thune said. "He was, like, running off the floor. So, I mean, there was certainly an opportunity there to say, We need to sit down and talk about, you know, a CR and how to fund the government. I just think this is more political posturing.""That's the way it's supposed to work. But the way Schumer likes it to work, and I think this is, again, part of his business model, is you go into his back office, behind closed doors and write this, you know, in the dark of night, and that's just not the way we're doing business," he continued.Senate Democrats unveiled their own counter-proposal to the GOPs bill late Wednesday night that includes a slew of their priorities not included in the clean CR, like permanently extending expiring Obamacare premium subsidies, undoing the "big, beautiful bills" Medicaid cuts, and clawing back the canceled funding for NPR and PBS.TRUMP PREDICTS LITTLE PROGRESS IN POTENTIAL SHUTDOWN TALKS WITH 'CRAZY' SCHUMER, JEFFRIESThune said that some of the issues that Democrats were pushing in a short-term extension "dont fit there," but that conversations, particularly on finding a deal for the healthcare insurance tax credits, could be had later on.Still, he viewed Democrats' resistance as not "serious," given that the end goal of the short-term extension is to actually pass the dozen spending bills to fund the government a feat that hasnt been pulled off in Congress since the 1990s.The House and Senate are currently working on a path forward for three spending bills, which both chambers have already passed. Thune hoped that if lawmakers were able to avert a partial shutdown, that work could continue with the remaining nine funding bills."This will test the seriousness of whether or not they actually want a real appropriations process, and whether they want to have a bipartisan way of funding the government," Thune said."And if the Democrats would give us consent to get on them and work with us, we could have a bipartisan process on the floor like we did with those other three, and we could fund most of the government the old-fashioned way, which is the way it's supposed to be done," he continued.But before any of that can happen, the bill has to make its way to the upper chamber. Thune is leaving the door open for the Senate to work into the weekend, but the Sept. 30 deadline is fast-approaching.Congress also has a recess scheduled for next week to observe the Jewish New Year, and a vast majority of Republicans will be in Arizona for conservative activist Charlie Kirks memorial service.There are also several procedural hurdles in the Senate that will have to be dealt with, further bogging down the process. Ultimately, Thune believed that it would be "up to the Democrats.""If they want to put a vote up sooner, later, and our members again if the Democrats are going to fight us and make us do this the hard way may just decide, let's just set this up for votes," Thune said. "When we get back here, and we get up against the deadline, when it becomes real, then we use live ammo."Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's office for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
