In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target.
The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary.

After the fall of Chasiv Yar, Russian forces have seized control of the strategic Konstantinovka–Krasnoarmeisk highway — tightening their grip on eastern Ukraine. With both banks of the Kleban-Bykskoye Reservoir now under Russian control and troops advancing near key settlements, military analysts are questioning whether President Vladimir Putin is nearing a decisive breakthrough in the war. Is Ukraine running out of room to maneuver?

A violent confrontation broke out in Kiev as Ukrainian conscription officers attempted to forcefully recruit a young man on the street. Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages. The incident highlights growing public anger over forced recruitment as the war with Russia drags on.

In a move shaking global diplomacy, Moscow confirms that U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in the coming days. The bilateral summit, suggested by the American side, could be followed by a groundbreaking trilateral meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump, who previously issued a 50-day ceasefire ultimatum to Moscow, is intensifying pressure with new sanctions.
Yet behind the friction lies a complex Trump-Putin relationship — part rivalry, part alignment. While Trump touts his peace credentials, critics warn of backchannel risks and NATO sidelining. The love-hate dynamic with Putin is at the heart of a bold, high-stakes diplomatic play. Will this lead to peace—or a new geopolitical storm?

In a move shocking European capitals, President Trump has announced a high-stakes trilateral summit with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, aimed at ending the Ukraine war. What’s even more dramatic is who’s not invited — NATO. Sources reveal that Trump’s special envoy has already met Putin in Moscow, reigniting speculation over Trump’s controversial rapport with the Russian leader. Their love-hate dynamic — marked by admiration, sanctions, secret diplomacy, and fiery spats — is back at center stage.
Trump is betting that his personal influence over Putin can accomplish what global institutions have failed to do: end the war. The summit, already drawing skepticism from U.S. allies, may mark either a diplomatic triumph or a disastrous gamble. Trump’s critics say he’s legitimizing Putin again — while supporters hail the bold effort. Is this peace through ego, or the beginning of a new world order?

President Donald Trump dropped a major geopolitical bombshell, revealing that “very good talks” were held with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and strongly hinting that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine may be imminent. Speaking optimistically, Trump said there's “a very good chance” the war could be nearing its “end of the road,” sparking global speculation about a possible three-way summit.
Though no dates or details were confirmed, Trump’s tone suggested behind-the-scenes negotiations are already underway. The former president has long claimed he could end the war swiftly, and these new remarks have raised eyebrows across NATO, Kyiv, and Moscow. With the Russia-Ukraine war dragging into another brutal year, any sign of diplomatic breakthrough is being watched with bated breath. Trump's comments nowthrust him back onto the world stage as a potential broker of peace—or at least a disruptive wildcard in the fragile balance of global diplomacy.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the 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.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.
