Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

India has slammed the European Union's latest round of sanctions that target Nayara Energy’s Gujarat-based Vadinar refinery for its links to Russian oil giant Rosneft. As part of its 14th package of sanctions, the EU blacklisted 105 additional vessels and took aim at Nayara — the first Indian entity to face such direct action.
Brussels aims to throttle Moscow’s wartime funding, but New Delhi has accused the EU of "double standards" and reiterated its stance against unilateral sanctions. Nayara, heavily reliant on export markets in Europe and Africa, now faces disruptions, job threats, and uncertainty over Rosneft’s $20B stalled exit plan involving Reliance. India says it remains committed to its legal obligations but won’t compromise on energy security.

Will the new EU budget turn cohesion policy into regional ‘Hunger Games’?
The EU’s proposed 2028–2034 budget risks turning the bloc's cohesion policy into a high-stakes competition for funding by merging it with other major spending areas, sparking concerns over reduced local control and lack of support for disadvantaged regions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that critical Russia-Ukraine peace talks are set for Wednesday in Turkey. As the war drags on and battlefield realities shift, questions loom large over what Zelensky might concede—and what Moscow might demand. With Ukraine's military under relentless assault and Russian forces pushing deeper, the stakes for this diplomatic meeting couldn't be higher. The world watches anxiously: Will this be a real step toward peace or just another failed negotiation? All eyes now turn to Ankara as Western allies grow restless, humanitarian crises deepen, and Ukraine faces increasing pressure to admit the truth about the shifting balance on the ground.

Speculation swirls over a potential Trump-Putin showdown in China this September, as the Kremlin signals Putin is ready to meet the U.S. President during WWII victory celebrations in Beijing. While Trump’s attendance remains uncertain, recent tensions over the Ukraine war—highlighted by Trump’s frustration in their July 3 call—fuel interest. Trump has threatened new sanctions unless Russia agrees to a peace deal within 50 days, aligning with Putin’s China visit. Diplomats are watching closely as stakes rise ahead of a possible face-to-face encounter.

In a dramatic escalation of Western military support to Ukraine, Germany and the United States are sending five Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv "as soon as possible." The announcement, revealed by Ukrainian media and confirmed by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, comes amid rising Russian aerial assaults and drone warfare in key battle zones.
Pistorius stressed that coordination with international partners would be finalized “within the next few days,” underlining a fast-tracked response to urgent Ukrainian defense needs. This deployment marks one of the most significant reinforcement efforts from NATO-aligned countries since the war began. Patriot systems, capable of intercepting missiles and aircraft at high altitudes, will enhance Ukraine’s capability to defend strategic infrastructure and urban centers. The plan also signals deepening U.S.-German military coordination and Western resolve to counter Russian advances. Kyiv has repeatedly called for stronger air defense amid relentless Russian bombardments of civilian and energy targets.

In a high-stakes overnight assault, Russia unleashed a devastating missile and drone barrage on Ukraine. The attack featured Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles—some of Moscow’s most advanced and costly weapons—reportedly targeting key defense industry facilities and airbases, particularly in the Ivano-Frankivsk region where combat aircraft were said to be stationed. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed all intended targets were successfully hit. However, Ukraine countered with reports of Patriot missile systems intercepting several incoming threats, though conflicting claims persist.
The strikes also rattled Poland, which scrambled aircraft in response. With each Kinzhal missile costing nearly $10 million, the assault underscores Russia’s intent to Cripple Ukraine’s air capabilities and destroy Western-supplied equipment. But with growing doubts about the Kinzhal's maneuverability and Ukraine’s increasing interception rates, the missile’s “hypersonic” reputation faces scrutiny. Regional tensions are now on edge as both sides escalate their battle for air superiority.

A horrifying Russian drone attack hit Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odesa early Saturday, igniting a towering apartment block, killing one resident and injuring six, including a child. The aerial assault, part of a broader overnight onslaught, saw over 300 drones and 30 missiles launched across 10 Ukrainian regions.
Ukrainian President Zelensky described the assault as relentless and pleaded for urgent air defense support, as power outages and fires spread. The Odesa mayor confirmed over 20 drones targeted the city, setting homes ablaze and sending families fleeing. As the world watches, former U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Russia, warning of harsher sanctions. With thousands already dead in the war, the latest strike highlights Ukraine’s desperation for international aid and a ramp-up in domestic defense production. Dramatic images show parents rescuing children wrapped in blankets—Ukraine burns while the world debates.

Ukraine's drone revolution is turning the tide of war. Along a 20 km “kill zone” near the frontline, kamikaze, surveillance, and bomber UAVs swarm the skies, making Russia's traditional advantages of tanks, artillery, and manpower nearly obsolete.
Ukrainian commanders say drones now account for over 70% of successful strikes on Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russia adapts with new tactics—sending small groups on quad bikes to bait fire and launch counter-drone strikes. With European support rising and U.S. aid shifting under Trump’s NATO-based weapons plan, Ukraine banks on domestically produced long-range drones to hold ground and retaliate deep into Russia. The battlefield is no longer just about artillery—it's a race of innovation and aerial dominance
