Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outlined the ambitious objectives behind Kiev’s recent incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Describing the operation as a crucial move to establish a strategic "buffer zone" on Russian soil, Zelensky revealed that Ukraine aims to take Russian soldiers captive and inflict significant economic damage on Moscow.
The Ukrainian leader emphasised that this bold strategy is designed to weaken Russia’s military capabilities and bring the conflict closer to a "just peace." As the operation unfolds, its impact on the broader geopolitical landscape remains to be seen.
Donald Trump’s high-stakes announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield was dramatically overshadowed by pointed questions about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. What began as a proud moment unveiling America’s most ambitious defense initiative quickly turned tense, as Trump was pressed on Ukrainian President Zelensky’s call for stricter sanctions on Russia. Snapping back, Trump asserted, “I determine that,” making it clear he alone would decide the course on Russia.

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.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism ahead of the former president’s phone call with Vladimir Putin, calling it a potential “success” that could help end the Ukraine conflict. This follows the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks in three years, which saw a prisoner exchange and renewed ceasefire discussions. Witkoff said Trump aims for a stable truce and final peace deal, warning that if diplomacy stalls, “crushing sanctions” await Moscow. Putin, however, insists talks must address NATO concerns and that Ukraine must halt mobilization and weapons inflow to ensure a lasting ceasefire.
