Australia 'should be prepared to contribute' to securing Ukraine's freedom, former PM says
Tuesday, 18 February 2025 A former Australian prime minister has said his country should be "prepared to make a contribution" to protect the freedom of Ukraine.
Russia launched a devastating strike on a U.S.-owned factory in Mukachevo, Ukraine, targeting a civilian facility producing coffee machines and household appliances. Over 600 workers were inside at the time, and at least 15 were injured. The attack caused massive structural damage, with thick black smoke rising from the wreckage. Ukrainian authorities and local officials confirmed that no military equipment was produced at the plant. This shocking strike comes just days after high-profile talks between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky, raising fears of further escalation.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump reacted sharply after Russian missile strikes destroyed an American-owned factory in Ukraine, accusing Joe Biden of weakness and incompetence. Trump argued that Ukraine cannot win the war without striking inside Russia, blasting Biden for only allowing Kyiv to “defend” instead of “fight back.” He claimed the invasion would have “zero chance” of happening if he were in office, declaring that Biden’s failed leadership emboldened Moscow. The attack, which hit a U.S. electronics plant in western Ukraine, has intensified tensions and raised fears that Russia is deliberately targeting American investments. Trump’s fiery comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Vladimir Putin does not want peace but seeks to install a Russian-controlled puppet regime. With Washington and Europe scrambling for security guarantees, Trump’s blunt remarks signal deep divisions in U.S. policy as the war enters a new, dangerous phase.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russia’s foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscow’s actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

The moment of strike shook Ukraine overnight as Russia unleashed one of its biggest aerial assaults of the war. More than 600 drones and missiles rained down on western Ukraine — a region long spared from such devastation.
Among the targets was a U.S.-owned Flex electronics plant in Mukachevo, employing thousands of civilians. Explosions lit up the night sky, factories and infrastructure went up in flames, and civilians rushed into shelters as air raid sirens screamed.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it a strike against both Ukraine’s sovereignty and U.S. interests. The assault came just days after the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, where peace talks were on the table. Now, with nearly 1000 missiles launched since the White House summit, Moscow has sent its message: no city is safe, no peace on Western terms.
Is this the moment Putin buried diplomacy and pushed the war to a deadlier stage?

In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved major airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen while flying to the United States aboard the “Wing of Zion” aircraft. According to the PM’s office, Netanyahu received critical operational updates and gave the final go-ahead for "Operation Black Flag" while en route to Washington for a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump. The operation was launched in response to continuous missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted key Houthi infrastructure, ports in Hudaydah, and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis in 2023. The coordinated attack is being described as a major blow to the Houthi rebels. The Houthis have responded swiftly and fiercely. While their media outlets confirmed the Israeli strikes, they retaliated by launching a massive wave of missiles towards Israel, triggering air defense systems across the country. In a claim that has created serious panic, RT News reported that at least one of the Houthi missiles successfully hit its target inside Israel.
This sudden escalation opens a dangerous new front in the Middle East, coming only weeks after a fragile ceasefire was established between Israel and Iran. With Israel now engaged in a direct, full-blown conflict with the Houthis in Yemen, the entire region is on high alert for what happens next.
