'The Independent' reports that Finland
will sign a bilateral defense cooperation
agreement with the United States.
.
The deal to bolster Finland's defenses comes
after the country, which shares a border with
Russia, became the newest member of NATO.
Finland joined NATO in April,
ending decades of military neutrality
amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The agreement allows the U.S. to deploy troops
in Finland, in addition to storing weapons
and other military equipment in the country.
According to Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen,
the so-called Defense Cooperation Agreement
is scheduled to be signed on December 18.
Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said the pact,
which still needs approval by Finnish lawmakers, , "is very significant for
Finland’s defense and security.".
It bears a very strong message
in this time.
The United States
is committed to our defense
also in a tough spot, Antti Häkkänen, Finland's Defense Minister,
via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that the deal will allow
the U.S. to access 15 military sites across Finland,
while also maintaining a permanent military presence.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly unfazed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s growing pressure to reach a swift resolution in Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, Putin remains "immune" to Trump’s urgency and insists that peace talks must first address what he calls the “root causes” of the conflict.
These include NATO’s eastward expansion, Western military aid to Ukraine, and alleged discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens. The report says Putin conveyed this stance directly during recent calls with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Despite Western efforts to halt the war, Putin blames the conflict on long-standing U.S. and EU policies that transformed Ukraine into an anti-Russia stronghold. As U.S. military aid continues to flow into Ukraine, Moscow warns the conflict will only escalate unless core Russian concerns are recognized and resolved.

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General António Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the “criminal Kyiv regime.” Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading “fabricated lies” and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan. Lavrov warned the U.S., South Korea, and Japan against forming a security pact aimed at Pyongyang. North Korea, in turn, reaffirmed its "unconditional" support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling the alliance "invincible." The deepening cooperation marks a major geopolitical shift, heightening tensions in Northeast Asia and threatening the regional balance of power as the two nations ramp up military and strategic coordination.

A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a stadium in Russia’s Belgorod region, as seen in a viral video shared by Russian Telegram channels. The strike is believed to be in direct retaliation for Russia’s recent large-scale aerial assault, which involved 25 cruise missiles and nearly 600 drones targeting Ukrainian cities. While Russian authorities have yet to confirm, first responders were spotted at the scene. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy continues to push for more weapons, stating the only way to stop attacks is by targeting the source of drone supplies fueling Russia’s aggression.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.”
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention.
