North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his âclosest friendâ and condemned the rise of âneo-Nazismâ in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: âThe West as we knew it no longer exists.â In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trumpâs aggressive tariffsâ20% on EU goods and 25% on carsâfor collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the worldâs trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?
