Scholz tells voters he is against increase in defence budget
Other German politicians have equally rebuked US President-elect Donald Trump over his demand that NATO's European members should more than double their defence spending.
Hours after a high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting ended without progress, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and Shaheed drones across Ukraine, killing five and wounding eleven. Ukraine’s air defense intercepted 40 drones, but multiple strikes hit civilian areas. Hopes for a ceasefire faded as European leaders opposed Trump’s accelerated peace plan, instead urging direct Ukraine-Russia talks. Trump now seeks a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky on August 22, as the war intensifies and negotiations remain deadlocked.

France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have issued a fiery ultimatum to Iran, warning of severe sanctions if Tehran fails to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. The three European powers, collectively known as the E3, accuse Iran of accelerating uranium enrichment and blocking key inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The warning comes amid stalled negotiations and mounting fears that Iran is edging closer to weapons-grade capabilities.

A high-stakes summit in Alaska between Presidents Trump and Putin failed to deliver a breakthrough in ending the war in Ukraine. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised Trump’s efforts but stressed that sanctions must remain. EU diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Moscow showed “no commitments,” accusing Putin of dragging out talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s role was highlighted as crucial, with EU and NATO leaders reaffirming security guarantees for Kyiv. Norway’s foreign minister cautioned the summit lacked substance, raising doubts about Moscow’s intentions.

Nearly 50 people were detained and dozens injured as rival groups clashed during anti-government protests in Serbia. Violence erupted in Novi Sad when ruling party supporters attacked demonstrators with flares, rocks, and bottles, while an army officer fired in the air. Clashes were reported in 90 locations nationwide, with riot police using tear gas in Belgrade. Protests, ongoing since November after a deadly train station collapse, demand early elections. President Aleksandar Vučić resists, balancing EU membership aspirations with close ties to Russia and China.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.
