and Russia have become increasingly strained
since the invasion of Ukraine in February of last year.
I wouldn't go into negative forecasts

I'm just saying all this so that there
is a clear understanding—we are ready

should not have the illusion, if it exists,
that Russia, as they say, holds on to
diplomatic relations with this state

Russia has issued a stark new warning to the United States over what it calls an alarming surge in US missile systems positioned in regions with a “direct impact” on Russia’s security. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov declared that Moscow is abandoning its self-imposed moratorium on missile deployments in response, accusing Washington of pushing the situation toward dangerous escalation.
Ryabkov also hinted at the existence of other advanced Russian weapons beyond the newly unveiled Oreshnik missile system, saying only that “we did not waste time” in preparing them. He refused to disclose further details, adding to the intrigue surrounding Russia’s military capabilities. The statement underscores Moscow’s growing unease over NATO-linked deployments near its borders and sets the stage for a new era of military posturing. With tensions already heightened by the Ukraine conflict, this latest warning raises the risk of an intensified arms race between the world’s largest nuclear powers.

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

A massive Russian onslaught of missiles, bombs, and drones has left over 600 Ukrainian troops dead, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The devastating coordinated strike also destroyed dozens of armored vehicles, leaving behind scenes of fire and wreckage captured on drone cameras. The attack marks one of the deadliest single operations in recent months, sending shockwaves through Kyiv’s battlefield morale. Drone footage shows scorched earth and flattened positions, underscoring Moscow’s intensifying campaign. Meanwhile, a dramatic political twist is unfolding—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness to engage in direct peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sources suggest Ukraine may even consider concessions on territories under Russian control, sparking debate over whether Kyiv is preparing for a painful compromise. With battlefield devastation and diplomatic maneuvers happening simultaneously, the war seems to be entering a dangerous new phase.

The family of a British aid volunteer reportedly killed in a drone strike in Ukraine has said they are "very disappointed" by the response from authorities. Sky News
In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelensky’s authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks.

Vladimir Putin’s fiery speech in Sarov has sent shockwaves through Washington and the West. While calling Trump a “light at the end of the tunnel,” Putin slammed US elites and showcased Russia’s nuclear edge in the Arctic. Trump, jittery at the Alaska Summit, appeared uncertain on Ukraine, even as Zelensky pushed back hard. With Russia flaunting its unmatched nuclear icebreaker fleet and quantum leaps in military technology, are we watching the dawn of a new Cold War — or World War 3?

Russia has accused Ukraine of disguising a U.S.-owned Flex factory as a civilian electronics plant while secretly using it for military production. Russian analysts claim the Mukachevo facility was customizing circuits for drones and missile guidance, storing munitions, and assembling precision weapon systems—making it a prime target. Moscow says secondary explosions prove military stockpiles were onsite, contradicting Zelensky’s claim that the factory only made household appliances. The strike highlights Russia’s push to expose “militarized civilian industries” fueling Ukraine’s war effort.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Moscow continues scientific cooperation with Western experts despite heavy sanctions and political isolation. Speaking in Sarov, Russia’s nuclear hub, Putin insisted that science, like art and sports, cannot be destroyed by politics. He revealed that joint projects persist in nuclear, space, and medical research, even with some NATO states, while new ventures in nuclear medicine are emerging. According to Putin, Russia lost Finland as a partner but continues work with France, Germany, and Hungary through Rosatom. He stressed that Russia still supplies nuclear fuel and services to “unfriendly” countries, hinting that departing partners may eventually return. Putin also warned the West that restricting academic and scientific ties will inflict long-term damage. Despite sanctions, Russia and the U.S. recently extended collaboration on the International Space Station and discussed future lunar and deep-space missions.

A potential face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could redefine the trajectory of the war, but uncertainty clouds the outcome. U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed hard for direct talks, framing them as the best chance for peace since Russia’s invasion began. The last meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy in 2019 collapsed without progress, and skepticism remains high that Moscow will commit to new negotiations. For Ukraine, the talks represent both hope and risk, as Zelenskyy faces existential stakes for his nation. For Putin, meeting Zelenskyy risks humiliation if Ukraine refuses to surrender. Trump insists he can deliver a breakthrough, but Russian officials remain evasive while Ukraine braces for political traps. Whether the meeting happens or not, the diplomatic chess game underscores the fragile balance of global power and the brutal realities of the war.

Russia launched a deadly overnight strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd in Ukraine, using drones, cruise missiles, and Kinzhal hypersonic weapons. The attack, which left at least 15 people injured, coincided with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s visit to Moscow, where he met President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov. Jaishankar slammed U.S. oil policy while Russia intensified its pressure on the West. With over 800 workers evacuated and significant damage reported, analysts say the strike may have been a warning to Washington and its allies over India sanctions.

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.

Interim El Paso Sector Chief Walter Slosar said migrant apprehensions have dropped dramatically, highlighting Trump’s tougher enforcement compared to Biden.

The high-stakes White House summit between Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and EU leaders has ended in deadlock. Trump pushed a radical shift from Biden’s massive aid packages to direct U.S. weapons sales via EU partners, while Putin dismissed the peace framework as a direct threat to Russia. With “territorial adjustments” floated as part of a land-for-peace approach, the summit has exposed deep divides on the future of Ukraine.

In a jaw-dropping moment at the White House summit, President Trump publicly humiliated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by flatly rejecting any future U.S. financial aid — declaring that Ukraine must now buy weapons instead of receiving support. While Zelensky reportedly made a passionate appeal for continued American backing, Trump stunned allies by drawing a hard line, contrasting his approach with Biden’s past $300 billion in aid.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties.

We have borrowing up, unemployment up, taxes are up (..) his budget last year had high taxes. That’s why the economy is contracting.” Sir Keir Starmer replied: “I think of the working people across this country who put in every day and don’t get back what they deserve, and that’s who we’re working for. That’s who we’re fixing the country (for).”

The geopolitical stage is set for a major confrontation as the BRICS alliance prepares for its 2025 summit in Brazil. The bloc, which will include ten member nations, is openly challenging the long-standing economic hegemony of the United States. With members like China, Russia, and Brazil leading the charge, BRICS now represents a formidable force, accounting for 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP. The group's primary objective is to reduce its dependency on the U.S. dollar by promoting trade in local currencies and developing alternative financial systems.
The tension has escalated dramatically following a direct threat from former U.S. President Donald Trump. He warned that any nation aligning with BRICS' anti-dollar policies would face severe consequences, including a blanket 10% tariff with "no exceptions." This aggressive stance is a clear signal that the U.S. views the rise of BRICS as a direct threat to its ability to impose sanctions and control global financial networks like SWIFT.
In response to the mounting criticism and Trump's threats, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, has publicly pushed back. While rejecting claims that BRICS is an "anti-American" coalition, she firmly stated that the mechanism is not targeted at any single country. However, she also reiterated China's long-standing opposition to "tariff wars and trade wars," sending a clear message to Washington. This high-stakes diplomatic battle between the established G7 powers and the rising BRICS alliance could reshape the future of the global economy.

Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal."
The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity.
This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war.
