The escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reached new heights with Ukraine's daring incursion into the Kursk Region and renewed concerns over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant.
As Ukraine's offensive intensifies, fears of a catastrophic nuclear disaster reminiscent of Chernobyl are growing.
With the Zaporizhzhia plant already facing heightened scrutiny following recent attacks, the possibility of a severe nuclear incident looms large, threatening global security and reigniting Cold War-era fears."

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?

Is Ukraine really in the dark about suspended U.S. military aid? The U.S. State Department responds to reports claiming Kyiv learned of the aid pause through the media. Spokesperson Tammy Bruce insists communication took place—but Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense says no official notice was ever received. With Trump yet to greenlight new defense packages and stockpiles running low, pressure mounts as the war with Russia enters a critical phase. Are U.S.-Ukraine ties beginning to fray? Find out what’s really going on behind the diplomatic curtain.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

North Korea is reportedly preparing to deploy up to 30,000 troops to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, marking one of the most significant foreign reinforcements since the conflict began. Intelligence sources say Pyongyang has already lost at least 4,000 soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces.

Ukraine’s Air Force confirmed the loss of an F-16 fighter jet and its pilot, Lt. Col. Maksym Ustimenko, during a major Russian airstrike. The jet was downed after intercepting seven Russian aerial threats. Overnight, Russia launched 537 missiles and drones; Ukraine's defense systems shot down 475. Explosions hit Lviv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, and Cherkasy, damaging homes, colleges, and industrial sites. Meanwhile, Russia claims to have intercepted three Ukrainian drones. As destruction mounts, Putin signals renewed interest in peace talks—though prior rounds have failed to end the conflict since 2022.

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase.

Chilling radio intercepts reveal a Russian commander ordering troops to execute surrendered Ukrainian soldiers: “Take the commander captive and k!ll everyone else.” The intercepted audio, obtained by CNN and matched with drone video from November 2024, shows six Ukrainian POWs being shot near Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian prosecutors have opened 75 war crimes cases, and UN officials have called this a grave breach of international law. The Russian 394th regiment’s Storm Unit, already linked to other atrocities, is under renewed scrutiny as evidence of deliberate executions mounts.

Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap.

Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that “the whole of Ukraine is ours” while mocking Kyiv’s military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraine’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy “stupidity,” he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.

Ukrainian kamikaze drones targeted residential areas in Russia’s Kursk Region, wounding at least 14 civilians, including four children. Several apartment blocks and homes were damaged across towns like Rylsk, Artakovo, and Lgov, with some victims hospitalized. A drone also ignited a major fire at an agricultural facility. The attacks follow recent ceasefire discussions in Istanbul. Russia has blamed Ukraine for manipulating talks while intensifying strikes. As the region braces for further attacks, authorities urge vigilance amid escalating cross-border hostilities.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putin’s helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path. Russia says over 1,170 drones were destroyed between May 20–22. Officials are now probing whether the strike was an attempted assassination or a psychological operation by Ukraine. No injuries or damages were reported, and Putin’s convoy continued as planned.

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. Russia claims to have repelled the assault using drones and heavy firepower, releasing footage of Ukrainian vehicles under attack. Russian officials allege Ukraine deployed 250 troops and over 15 heavy vehicles in the operation. Ukraine denies claims that all its forces were pushed back, as tensions rise days after Putin declared the region recaptured.

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region.

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.
