Ukraine's Massive Land Grab: Zelensky's 74 Settlements vs Putin's 28| Is Russia Hiding True Numbers?
A major dispute has erupted between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin over the true extent of Ukraine's advance into Russia's Kursk region.
While Zelensky claims that Ukrainian forces have taken control of 74 settlements, Putin downplays the situation, asserting only 28 have been captured.
What is the reality behind these conflicting claims?
Join us as we uncover the truth and analyze the implications of this high-stakes battle of narratives.
Russia has approved a security buffer zone along the Ukraine border, President Putin confirmed. The move comes after recent cross-border unrest in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk. Putin said Russian troops are now actively working to stabilize and secure these regions. Alongside military efforts, the Kremlin is focusing on rebuilding infrastructure and supporting local communities. Meanwhile, Moscow has received Ukraine’s list for a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange, with negotiations already underway. This development marks a significant escalation in efforts to control unrest and stabilize western Russian territories near Ukraine.

In a private May 19 call with EU leaders, Donald Trump revealed that Vladimir Putin doesn’t plan to end the Ukraine war—because he believes he's winning. This follows a confidential conversation between Trump and Putin just a day earlier. While Trump had once claimed Putin sought peace, this marked his first admission that Russia intends to prolong the conflict. Trump backed off earlier threats of sanctions, telling leaders, “This isn’t my war.” EU officials now worry U.S. support for Ukraine may fade, leaving Europe to lead the response alone.

NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.

EU-AU ministers vow to strengthen partnership on peace, and security amid geopolitical volatility
The last time that foreign ministers from both continents met, Russia had not invaded its neighbour Ukraine, the war in Sudan had not begun, and France, a leading member of the 27-nation EU bloc, had not lost its influence in Africa's Sahel region, where its military was forced out last year.

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 “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” 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.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly launched a fresh ground incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, targeting border areas including Tetkino and Novy Put.

Russian officials allege Ukraine deployed 250 troops and over 15 heavy vehicles in the operation.
