Zelensky calls Putin ‘slave to war’ at Munich forum

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “slave to war” during a speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. He warned that Putin will remain a threat to Ukraine and Europe if he is not stopped on the battlefield. Zelensky said every power plant in Ukraine has been damaged by Russian strikes, leaving millions facing cuts to heating and electricity in winter. He spoke days before the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, which has killed hundreds of thousands, destroyed towns and cities, and forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes. He compared Putin to Adolf Hitler and said the Russian leader may see himself as a tsar but is trapped in his own war. Zelensky added that no one in Ukraine believes Putin will allow Ukrainians to live freely or end Moscow’s aggression voluntarily. […]

Russian billionaires prosper under Kremlin control

Amid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, Russia has seen the number of billionaires reach record levels. Yet over Vladimir Putin’s 25-year rule, the country’s oligarchs have largely lost their political influence. This concentration of power benefits Putin. Western sanctions have not swayed the ultra-rich into opposition, while his combination of incentives and pressure ensures their quiet support. Oleg Tinkov, a former banking billionaire, experienced this pressure firsthand. After publicly criticizing the war as “crazy,” the Kremlin warned that his Tinkoff Bank would be nationalized unless he severed all connections to the institution. The bank was sold within a week for just 3% of its estimated value, leaving Tinkov with losses approaching $9 billion and prompting his departure from Russia. The situation contrasts sharply with the post-Soviet era, when Russian oligarchs gained enormous wealth and political influence by acquiring state enterprises […]

Trump Sends Witkoff to Moscow in Hopes of Finalizing Ukraine Deal

Donald Trump announced he’s sending his envoy, Steve Witkoff, and possibly Jared Kushner, to Moscow next week for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to finalize a peace agreement to end the Ukraine war. According to Trump, only a few disagreements remain, though European leaders remain skeptical amid ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. The original US-brokered 28-point plan—seen as favoring Moscow—sparked alarm in Kyiv and across Europe. However, a new version, developed with input from European allies, has incorporated more Ukrainian interests, including a higher cap on Ukraine’s military size and omitting a ban on future NATO membership. The official familiar with the changes calls the plan “significantly better” and says talks with the Russians remain cautiously optimistic. French President Emmanuel Macron and others have voiced doubts about Russia’s willingness for a deal, while US negotiator Dan Driscoll […]

Ukraine Faces Pressure Over US War Plan

Ukraine has come under intense international pressure to respond to a US proposal for ending the war, which includes many of Russia’s hardline demands. The 28-point plan—welcomed by Putin but resisted by President Zelensky—would force Ukraine to cede land, reduce its army, and rule out NATO membership, while offering “security guarantees” and partial recovery funds from frozen Russian assets. US President Trump gave Ukraine less than a week to decide; Kyiv is reviewing alternatives, with European leaders insisting any deal must not “betray” Ukraine’s interests. European Commission chief von der Leyen declared that “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” as Kyiv holds emergency talks with France, Germany, and Britain. Putin threatened more land seizures if Kyiv rejects the offer, emphasizing that Russia would regain territory, rejoin the global economy, and the G8 under the plan. Ukrainians remain divided, with some fearing […]

Ukraine War Latest: Drones Strike Russia, 20,000 Without Power; Lavrov ‘Ready’ to Meet US’s Rubio

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he is “ready” for a face-to-face meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a cancelled summit blamed on Lavrov’s uncompromising stance. Speculation rises about a rift between Lavrov and President Putin, as Lavrov was left out of recent top-level meetings. Ukrainian drone attacks over the weekend left more than 20,000 people without power in Russia’s Belgorod, Taganrog, and Voronezh regions, sparking fires and outages. Ukrainian strikes targeted infrastructure including a thermal power plant as part of efforts to disrupt Moscow’s energy revenue. In Ukraine, heavy Russian aerial assaults included 458 drones and 45 missiles, killing at least seven people and causing widespread emergency blackouts in cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian energy plants reported the largest attack since the war began. Hollywood star Angelina Jolie visited Mykolaiv and Kherson, sharing on Instagram about the […]

Trump orders immediate nuclear weapons testing amid China Russia tensions

US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing to match China and Russia’s military capabilities. The decision came just minutes before his scheduled summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea. The move follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim on Wednesday that Moscow successfully tested a nuclear-powered underwater drone, in defiance of US warnings. “Because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis,” Trump posted on social media, directly referencing Russia and China. Trump said the United States has more nuclear weapons than any other country, crediting his administration for what he called “a complete update and renovation of existing weapons.” He added that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be […]

Putin defies Trump with second nuclear weapons test in days

Russia has carried out a new test of a nuclear-capable underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, marking the country’s second nuclear weapons test within days despite warnings from US President Donald Trump. During a visit to a military hospital treating soldiers wounded in Ukraine, Putin said the test involved the “Poseidon” unmanned underwater vehicle, which is equipped with a nuclear power unit. He claimed the drone torpedo could travel faster than any submarine and was impossible to intercept. “There is no way to intercept this system,” Putin said, adding that Poseidon can reach any continent and dive deeper than existing underwater weapons. According to Russia’s state news agency TASS, the drone can operate at depths greater than one kilometre and travel at speeds of up to 70 knots while remaining undetectable. It can also carry a nuclear warhead […]

Zelenskyy Meets European Leaders in London to Strengthen Military Aid for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet key European leaders in the United Kingdom on Friday to discuss renewed military support aimed at deterring future Russian aggression, should a ceasefire end the war that has now entered its fourth year. The talks, set to take place at the Foreign Office in London, will bring together Zelenskyy, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof. About 20 additional leaders are expected to join virtually as part of the “Coalition of the Willing,” a group of nations that have pledged to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses and long-term resilience. The agenda includes plans to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, protect the country’s power grid from relentless Russian drone and missile attacks, and potentially supply Kyiv with longer-range weapons capable of striking deeper inside […]

Trump Urges Zelensky to ‘Make a Deal’ After Missile Plea Fails

US President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “make a deal” with Russia, signaling a shift in Washington’s stance on the war in Ukraine. Zelensky met Trump at the White House on Friday, hoping to secure long-range US-made Tomahawk missiles. However, Trump declined to approve the request, saying both sides should instead end the fighting and reach an agreement. “The talks were very interesting and cordial,” Trump said on social media after the meeting. “But I told him, as I did President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing and make a deal. Let both claim victory, and let history decide.” Trump later told reporters that Ukraine and Russia should “stop right now at the battle line,” adding that pushing beyond current positions would “get too complicated.” Zelensky said Trump did not reject the missile […]

Trump and Putin Align on Europe as Ukraine Peace Talks Stall

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin appear to be finding common ground again, with both leaders turning their focus toward Europe amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Their positions converge just three weeks after their high-profile but largely unproductive summit in Alaska. On Thursday, Trump urged European leaders to take on more responsibility in handling the Ukraine crisis. Ironically, most of the ongoing diplomatic movement has come from Europe itself, as transatlantic allies work to design long-term security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace agreement. The US president’s latest comments follow his announcement that he intends to speak with Putin again soon to determine “what we’re going to be doing.” Trump avoided confirming whether the US would impose severe direct sanctions on Russia if Moscow continues to stall peace talks, saying only: “Whatever his […]
