Labour defence secretary travels to Ukraine as govt pledges new supplies to Kyiv
Sunday, 7 July 2024 Defence Secretary John Healey has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with the Labour government making a new pledge on sending arms to Ukraine.
In a significant move to bolster Ukraine's defences against relentless Russian airstrikes, NATO countries have pledged to provide five additional strategic air defence systems. This announcement, heralded as a "historic donation," was made by US President Joe Biden during the NATO summit held in...
Donald Trump’s high-stakes announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield was dramatically overshadowed by pointed questions about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. What began as a proud moment unveiling America’s most ambitious defense initiative quickly turned tense, as Trump was pressed on Ukrainian President Zelensky’s call for stricter sanctions on Russia. Snapping back, Trump asserted, “I determine that,” making it clear he alone would decide the course on Russia.

Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UK’s first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies. All RAF aircraft returned safely.

President Donald Trump is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a dramatic attempt to halt what he described as the “bloodbath” in Ukraine. The high-stakes call, scheduled for Monday, comes after talks between Kyiv and Moscow stalled and casualties mounted. Trump also plans to speak with President Zelenskyy and NATO leaders, seeking a 30-day ceasefire. European leaders expressed cautious support, while critics accused Trump of appeasement. With battlefield losses and diplomatic pressure mounting, global attention is focused on this unprecedented presidential outreach.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.
