In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to âchoose friendshipâ over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. âWar brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,â said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights recordâespecially on womenâs rightsâcalled Russiaâs decision âcourageousâ and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscowâs move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Russia has become the first country to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov personally conveyed the recognition to Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul, marking what Taliban leaders called a "new phase" in bilateral relations.
The Kremlin, now seeking to strengthen regional influence, sees commercial potential in Afghanistanâs energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, despite global condemnation of the Taliban's human rights record. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have faced international isolation for enforcing brutal Sharia laws and gender apartheid. Yet, Russia has maintained its embassy, signed economic deals, removed the Taliban from its terror list, and labeled them allies in the fight against extremism. As the West tightens sanctions, Russia's move could set a precedent for others considering formal engagement with Kabul's hardline rulers.

Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers â all Tajik nationals â said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine.
The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from TĂŒrkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved.

Tensions surged near Sandy Cay on May 22 as Chinese Coast Guard vessels sideswiped and blasted Philippine research ships with water cannons. China slammed the mission as âillegal,â warning of further action, and accused the US of using the Philippines to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea. The Philippines condemned Chinaâs âaggressive interference,â reporting vessel damage and safety threats. Sandy Cay is part of the disputed Spratly Islands, also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. The incident adds fuel to the ongoing maritime conflict and challenges a 2016 arbitration ruling.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous âgreat relationshipâ with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader.
However, NK News reports that Pyongyangâs UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trumpâs first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements.
Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trumpâs remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thawâespecially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach.

Deep divisions have emerged in Israelâs war cabinet as Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief Eyal Zamir clash over Gaza strategy. Netanyahu is pushing a mass evacuation and full siege of northern Gaza, while Zamir warns it could spark chaos and civilian backlash. Far-right ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich accuse Zamir of blocking a Gaza victory and demand intensified operations. As Trump prepares to announce a potential ceasefire, internal tensions rise, putting Israelâs military and political leadership at odds.

Donald Trump has hinted that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be finalized as early as next week. Following Hamasâ positive response to a U.S.-backed plan mediated by Qatar and Egypt, both sides may enter detailed negotiations soon. Trumpâs 60-day truce proposal, aimed at halting violence and ensuring humanitarian access, has already been accepted by Israel. As global outrage over Gazaâs death toll mounts, hopes rise for a breakthrough amid ICC charges and deepening humanitarian crisis.

Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace. Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly. However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access. Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, hostagesâ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to âmake the deal.â The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms.
