President Donald Trump, frustrated with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, pledged he could end the conflict “within 24 hours.” Speaking to reporters, Trump leaned pro-Russia, threatening Ukraine with sanctions and tariffs if the war continued. He issued an ultimatum to both Kyiv and Moscow: “End the war or bleed economically,” while urging Ukraine to concede land to appease Vladimir Putin. Ukraine and European leaders firmly rejected the idea. Trump insists he prefers economic pressure over risking a world war, blaming Biden for fueling the conflict.

Donald Trump has issued his toughest warning yet to Russia, threatening an “economic war” if President Vladimir Putin refuses to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire. Speaking after his Alaska meeting with Putin, Trump said he will not allow a world war but promised devastating sanctions that could crippleRussia’s economy. He also shocked reporters by suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “not exactly innocent either.” With Ukraine talks collapsing, Trump’s remarks could reshape the fragile balance of war and diplomacy in Europe.

Al-Qassem Brigades hit back as Israel launches what it calls its ‘final offensive’ on Gaza. Overnight shelling rocked Gaza City’s suburbs of Sabra, Shejaia, Tuffah, and Jabalia, leaving at least 34 Palestinians dead just a day after the Nasser Hospital strike killed 20, including journalists. Footage shows families fleeing amid bombardments as thousands of homes are destroyed. Netanyahu calls the hospital strike a “tragic mishap,” but civilians say Gaza is being remapped into death zones. With over 2,100 killed since August 6 and starvation rising, is this the final chapter in Gaza’s war?

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.
