For the fifth consecutive night, Ukrainian forces have launched sustained drone strikes on Moscow, successfully intercepting 26–43 drones over the capital—a mix of long-range and FPV drones—prompting temporary flight bans at Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports and causing damage to parked aircraft and infrastructure. Meanwhile, in Rostov Oblast, drone debris ignited a fire at the Kamenolomni train station and a nearby flower shop, delaying 26 trains and disrupting rail traffic for hours

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Russia to resume stalled peace talks, proposing a new round of negotiations next week. This plea follows a devastating Russian drone and missile strike on Odesa that killed at least one and injured six others. Zelenskyy confirmed that National Security and Defence Council head Rustem Umerov extended the offer, while reiterating his own readiness for a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, tensions escalate as U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 50-day ceasefire ultimatum to Moscow, threatening harsh sanctions and vowing to boost arms support for Ukraine. Russia has not formally responded to the proposed talks, while Kremlin and military officials dismissed Western pressure as "blackmail." Despite diplomatic overtures, exchanges of fire continued on both sides, raising fears of further escalation in Europe’s deadliest conflict since WWII.

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.

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies.
The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment.

Russia has fiercely condemned Israel's airstrikes on Syrian territory, including near the presidential palace, calling them a "flagrant violation of international law" and a threat to regional stability. Moscow reaffirmed its support for Syria’s sovereignty under the Al-Sharaa regime and warned against any foreign interference. The IDF defended its actions, citing retaliation for Syrian regime moves against Druze civilians. Russia, however, urged peaceful dialogue and national unity in Syria as the only path to lasting stability and an end to foreign intervention.

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
