Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly unfazed by U.S. President Donald Trumpâs growing pressure to reach a swift resolution in Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, Putin remains "immune" to Trumpâs urgency and insists that peace talks must first address what he calls the âroot causesâ of the conflict.
These include NATOâs eastward expansion, Western military aid to Ukraine, and alleged discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens. The report says Putin conveyed this stance directly during recent calls with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Despite Western efforts to halt the war, Putin blames the conflict on long-standing U.S. and EU policies that transformed Ukraine into an anti-Russia stronghold. As U.S. military aid continues to flow into Ukraine, Moscow warns the conflict will only escalate unless core Russian concerns are recognized and resolved.

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact â dubbed the Northward Declaration â pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and Franceâs alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Parisâ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur as Russia launched its most intense wave of strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv in months. Amid mounting civilian casualties, Rubio expressed frustration at Moscowâs obstruction of ceasefire efforts. The meeting marked a major shift in Trumpâs Ukraine policy, with the U.S. now viewing Putinânot Kyivâas the main obstacle to peace. Trumpâs leaked rebuke of Putin signals Washingtonâs harder stance as the war intensifies.

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the âcriminal Kyiv regime.â Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading âfabricated liesâ and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage.

Iranâs Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelâs âwar of aggressionâ against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called âatrocity crimesâ and âunprovoked armed attacksâ by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterâs Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyâs position as both âillegalâ and âcriminal,â Baqaei said Berlinâs support amounts to âcomplicity in aggressionâ and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iranâs legal framing of Germanyâs conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacyâbut only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a âdeclaration of war.â Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its programâs peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peaceâthough Araghchi dismissed claims of Iranâs program being âobliteratedâ and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation âBlack Flag,â a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen. Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel âGalaxy Leader,â accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security. This marks one of Israelâs most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.
