Ukraine's Stern Ultimatum Amid Russia’s Attacks: Citizens to Choose Between Military Service or Work
Ukraine's government has issued a stark ultimatum amid escalating conflict with Russia: citizens must choose between military service or contributing fully to the nation's tax revenues.
Prime Minister Denis Shmigal announced this directive as Kiev faces severe financial strains, compounded by its reliance on foreign aid and ongoing military expenses.
With state finances under pressure and a recent Fitch Ratings downgrade, Ukraine's latest policy aims to bolster revenue through increased labour market participation and tax contributions, reflecting the country's dire economic and strategic needs.
Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

President Donald Trump is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a dramatic attempt to halt what he described as the “bloodbath” in Ukraine. The high-stakes call, scheduled for Monday, comes after talks between Kyiv and Moscow stalled and casualties mounted. Trump also plans to speak with President Zelenskyy and NATO leaders, seeking a 30-day ceasefire. European leaders expressed cautious support, while critics accused Trump of appeasement. With battlefield losses and diplomatic pressure mounting, global attention is focused on this unprecedented presidential outreach.

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.

Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing a worsening debt trajectory and political paralysis in Washington. The move follows similar downgrades by Standard & Poor’s in 2011 and Fitch in 2023. Moody’s warned that deficits could reach 9% of GDP by 2035, driven by interest payments and rising entitlement costs. Efforts to curb spending failed as Republicans and Democrats remain divided. The agency also flagged Trump-era tax cuts as a $4 trillion threat to fiscal health if extended, further straining the federal deficit outlook.
