In a dramatic escalation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his second warning to the U.S. and NATO in just 24 hours, announcing the readiness of Russia’s powerful Oreshnik hypersonic missile system.
The missile, a game-changer in modern warfare, is poised to be deployed in combat as a key strategic asset in Russia’s arsenal.
With no current means of interception by any nation, the Oreshnik missile's devastating power and precision could redefine the global military balance.
This latest development signals growing tensions between Russia and the West, as fears of a wider conflict, potentially spiralling into World War III, intensify.
Russia unleashed a massive overnight drone and missile assault on western Ukraine on Aug. 21, killing at least one civilian and injuring 14, in a brazen attack that came just days after peace talks in Washington. Explosions rocked cities far from the front line, including Lviv, Lutsk, Rivne, and Mukachevo, where a major electronics plant employing 800 people was set ablaze. Twelve civilians were hospitalized in Mukachevo alone. Air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine as Russian MiG-31 jets capable of firing Kinzhal missiles took off, triggering panic. Air defenses intercepted several drones, but multiple strikes caused fires and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The attack highlights Russia’s continued bombardment of civilians even as President Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly discuss peace. Since Trump’s Aug. 15 meeting with Putin, Russian strikes have already killed 31 civilians and injured 145 more.

Russian allies Belarus and Iran agree to boost defence as part of raft of agreements
Lukashenka, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, allowed Russia to use Belarusian territory as a staging ground for Moscow’ full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and later allowed the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear missiles.

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement.

In a dramatic claim, U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the threat of World War III is now off the table, despite Russia’s massive aerial bombardment striking dangerously close to NATO territory. Speaking on a podcast, Trump said the Ukraine war was “raging” and “heading to World War III” when he took office earlier this year, but he insists his diplomacy with Vladimir Putin has pulled the world back from the brink. His remarks come just days after hosting Putin in Alaska for face-to-face talks, followed by Zelensky and European leaders meeting him in Washington. While the White House hails “light at the end of the tunnel,” Russia continues to pound Ukraine with drones, missiles, and glide bombs near NATO borders. With Putin striking Odesa and NATO jets scrambling, Trump’s bold claim of preventing WW3 raises questions: is peace closer, or is the world still on edge?

In a sharp diplomatic snub ahead of the crucial Trump-Putin-Zelensky trilateral, Poland has flatly refused to host Vladimir Putin, dismissing proposals to hold the talks in Budapest as “symbolically inappropriate.” The move underscores deep divisions within Europe over how to engage Moscow, raising new doubts over the fate of the high-stakes negotiations.

Russia launched a massive 95-bomb barrage on Ukraine’s Odesa region, just a mile from NATO’s Romanian border. The strikes targeted oil and port facilities, shaking regional security and sparking fears of a nuclear flashpoint. Germany scrambled Eurofighter Typhoon jets from its base in Romania under NATO’s air policing mission, while officials confirmed no Russian projectiles entered alliance territory.

A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond.
