A day after being ignored by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif attempted damage control by praising Moscow’s ties with New Delhi, calling them “fine.” Sharif also lauded Putin as a “dynamic leader” and expressed Islamabad’s desire to strengthen relations with Russia. The awkward outreach came after Sharif was seen rushing behind Putin, who walked with China’s Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi warned against global terror double standards, highlighting decades of Pakistan-linked terrorism.

U.S. President Donald Trump is signaling a tougher stance on Russia as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that all options remain open for new sanctions amid Moscow’s intensified bombardment of Ukraine. Bessent called Putin’s actions “despicable and defiant,” marking the strongest hint yet of looming economic penalties. Despite Trump’s earlier hopes for diplomacy after his Alaska summit with Putin, frustration is mounting as Russian strikes escalate, fueling speculation that sanctions—or even broader confrontation—could push the U.S. and Russia closer to all-out conflict.

The alleged GPS jamming of a plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen by Russia raises concerns about air travel - but were there politics at play? Sky News
Exiled Ukrainian MP Artyom Dmitruk has accused President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government of orchestrating the assassination of far-right politician Andrey Parubiy, who was gunned down in Lviv on Saturday.

Ukrainian police are probing possible Russian involvement, while Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik alleged Parubiy was eliminated to ease future peace talks. The killing has ignited fierce blame games, exposing deep divisions in Ukraine’s politics and war strategy.
