Germany commemorated the 80th Victory Day with ceremonies honoring the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Despite a ban on Soviet-era songs and symbols due to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, Russian folk songs echoed through Berlin streets in defiance. The ban sparked criticism from Russia, emphasizing the right to honor Red Army soldiers who played a vital role in defeating Nazism and sacrificing millions of lives during the war.

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader.

In a dramatic escalation of diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has responded to Vladimir Putin’s offer for direct peace talks in Turkey — but with a firm condition: no negotiations without a full, reliable ceasefire. Citing relentless drone strikes and broken truces, Zelensky declared there would be "NO IFs OR BUTs" when it comes to peace. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has called for immediate talks to end the "bloodbath" and labeled the moment a "potentially great day" for both nations. As European leaders demand unconditional ceasefire and warn of further sanctions, tensions are peaking.
