German Defence Minister announces €500 million military support package for Ukraine
Russia launched a fresh offensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and Ukrainian military commanders reported a renewed build-up of Russian troops in the north of the region on Thursday.
Russia has issued a stark warning to Germany over its decision to lift restrictions on supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine. Moscow’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu threatened a “massive response” if Germany delivers Taurus missiles, calling it a move that risks direct war. Following Zelensky’s meeting with Chancellor Merz, speculation grows around German involvement. While Germany promises support in developing Ukraine’s missile capability, Russia labels the move dangerous and provocative, with some warning it could ignite a wider conflict.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

Speculation is rising after Ukrainian President Zelensky met German Chancellor Merz to discuss acquiring German-made Taurus missiles—highly lethal, long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia. Ukraine faces challenges operating this advanced technology without German support, which could delay deployment by years. If used soon, Moscow may accuse Germany of direct involvement, risking Russian retaliation including deployment of Oreshnik strike complexes. Russian media warns Germany against provoking escalation that could spark a wider conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced a second round of peace talks with Ukraine, proposed for June 2 in Istanbul. Moscow plans to present a formal memorandum outlining its "vision for peace" and will offer clarifications during the talks. The Russian delegation, again led by Vladimir Medinsky, hopes for international backing. However, Ukraine’s participation remains uncertain, especially after receiving strong military and diplomatic support from Germany. With tensions high, whether this new round yields progress remains to be seen.

Donald Trump has expressed deep disappointment in Russian President Vladimir Putin, revealing that a peace deal to end the Ukraine war was almost finalized when rockets were suddenly launched into Kyiv. Trump stated the negotiations were "very close to ending" the conflict, but Putin’s actions shattered the progress. Calling the strikes during talks “very surprising,” Trump hinted that peace was within reach but sabotaged by sudden Russian aggression, leaving him both shocked and frustrated over the derailment of near-successful diplomacy.

Macron warns US and the Indo-Pacific not to abandon Ukraine at the expense of focusing on China
Macron said that any shifts to developing a more hard-line deterrent stance in the Indo-Pacific is still tied to how the world — and particularly the West — treats other critical issues.

At a heated UN Security Council session, Russia’s envoy proposed June 2 peace talks in Istanbul, stating that a ceasefire alone can’t bring peace. The U.S. delegation, representing Trump’s administration, responded fiercely, accusing Moscow of blocking a ceasefire while arming itself for more aggression. Siding firmly with Zelensky, the U.S. blasted Putin for "dangerous delay games" and demanded de-escalation. As diplomacy hangs by a thread, tensions between Washington and Moscow take center stage at the global forum once again.

Turkey is pushing for a high-level Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy summit to cap the ongoing Istanbul peace talks on Ukraine. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, claims the war could end in 2025 if all sides commit to talks and a lasting cease-fire. While Ukraine demands advance proposals and a full cease-fire, Russia insists on presenting terms in person. The U.S. threatens to disengage if Moscow resists progress, and Trump’s 30-day truce initiative remains stalled amid territorial disputes.

Ukraine launched a massive counterattack using over 200 drones across six Russian regions, forcing Moscow airports to suspend operations. This came after a deadly Russian drone strike injured civilians in Kharkiv. Ukraine issued air raid alerts across major cities including Kyiv, Odesa, and Sumy. Meanwhile, former Russian President Medvedev warned of a potential World War III, drawing a sharp rebuke from Trump’s Ukraine envoy. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is now heading to Berlin for high-stakes talks with German Chancellor Merz, who pledged stronger military support and lifted weapon range restrictions.
