Russia is about to sign a pact with Iran - should the West be worried?
Friday, 17 January 2025 In Moscow on Friday, a couple of days before Donald Trump's inauguration as US president, two of the West's main adversaries - Russia and Iran - will sign a strategic partnership pact.
Following Russia’s largest aerial attack on Ukraine—over 500 drones and 60 missiles—President Zelensky has made an urgent plea to the U.S. and European allies for advanced air defense support. The strike injured civilians and destroyed residential infrastructure. Tragedy deepened with the death of Ukrainian F-16 pilot Maksym Ustymenko, who downed seven Russian targets. With three U.S.-made jets already lost, Ukraine’s air arsenal is thinning. Zelensky warns Moscow won’t stop unless its strike power is neutralized, as aid delays under Trump threaten Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued an urgent appeal to NATO and the E5 members, highlighting the unprecedented scale of Russian drone warfare. With over 28,000 Iranian-made Shahed drones launched against Ukraine since the invasion began—and 2,736 in June alone—Zelensky is demanding stronger air defense systems, economic retaliation, and full political isolation of Moscow.
In a powerful address, Zelensky calls on the EU to impose a $30 oil price cap, block Russia’s shadow fleet, and make this war too expensive for Putin to sustain. Backed by soundbites and footage from the frontlines, this report dives into Ukraine’s escalating fight to defend Europe’s eastern flank.

Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote.
The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future.
