Why Putin Visiting Vladivostok: Russia Finds New Anti-U.S Ties As Kursk Donbas Battles Escalate
Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Vladivostok after his Mongolia trip, inspecting a new shipyard project in Promezhutochnaya Bay.
The shipyard, a joint venture between VTB Bank and United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), is vital for Russia’s strategic port development amid the Ukraine conflict.
Plans include expanding storage capacity at VMTP and boosting energy trade despite U.S. sanctions.
Potential sites for new shipyards are also being explored.
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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called, Russia’s highest civilian honour. At a Kremlin ceremony, Putin praised Lavrov’s “courage and willingness to defend Russia regardless of the circumstances.” Lavrov, decked in formal regalia, pledged to fight against “international evil” and continue promoting Russia’s interests abroad. This comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and mounting Western criticism. The ceremony was symbolic of Russia’s push to rally domestic and international support around its diplomatic corps.

Pope Francis' funeral mass began with the Prayer of the Faithful, delivered by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. In a significant departure from past papal funerals, the prayer was recited in six languages: Italian, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Polish, German, and for the first time, Mandarin. The inclusion of Mandarin reflects Pope Francis’ efforts to build bridges with China, especially after his visit to Mongolia in 2023. Cardinal Agostino Liu Bo delivered the prayer in Mandarin, invoking the hope that Christ calls all faithful to His kingdom. Cardinal Marengo, the first Mongolian cardinal, will also play a role in choosing the Pope’s successor.

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.

In a devastating missile strike, Russian forces have killed up to 70 Ukrainian soldiers at a special forces training camp near Shostka, in the Sumy region, located close to the Russian border. The attack, carried out using Iskander-M ballistic missiles, also destroyed an ammunition depot and multiple military vehicles. The strike targeted a facility housing both troops and instructors, leading to significant casualties, including 20 military instructors. The explosion, caught on video, shows the massive destruction wrought on the camp, as tensions escalate in the border areas between Ukraine and Russia.

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.

On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers. The incident was reminiscent of a previous confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading some to speculate that Ramaphosa had successfully navigated a potential diplomatic crisis. Watch what Ramaphosa said on the White House meet
