JD Vance: US Vice-President JD Vance sharply criticized European governments at the Munich Security Conference, claiming the biggest threat to the continent comes from within.
He accused leaders of undermining free speech and ignoring voter concerns on migration.
His remarks, expected to focus on Ukraine, instead sparked outrage, with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius calling them "not acceptable."

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

Germany has officially denied Ukraine’s latest request for Taurus cruise missiles, citing NATO obligations and escalation concerns. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the long-range system is “off the table” despite intensified Russian airstrikes. Berlin also ruled out sending additional Patriot systems due to depleted reserves. Moscow had warned that Taurus deliveries would destroy ties with Berlin. As Ukraine’s casualties mount and Western weapon supplies dwindle, fears grow of deeper NATO involvement and a potential escalation into a wider regional conflict.

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.

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.
