Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their âformer instinctsâ of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between todayâs political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that âGerman and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,â claiming that just as some âburned Jews,â others now âburn Russians.â Lavrovâs remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russiaâs narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

A day after massive Russian strikes, Moscow now accuses Ukraine of sabotaging its own forces. Russian expert Andrey Marochko claims Kyiv lost nearly 4,000 troops in Lugansk alone within a week, including foreign fighters. Ukraineâs counteroffensives reportedly failed to stop Russian advances in Kharkov, Donetsk, and Lugansk. Russia maintains the initiative, launching precision strikes and accusing Ukraine of wasting troops and equipment. As Ukraine struggles to hold its defensive lines, Russia insists its objectives under the "special military operation" are steadily being fulfilled.

Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers â all Tajik nationals â said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine.
The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from TĂŒrkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced Ukraine is now fully aligning with European Union sanctions on Iran. In a dramatic statement, Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting external terror campaigns, engaging in brutal domestic repression, and forging a dangerous alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move marks Kyivâs most aggressive stance against Tehran, extending Ukraine's sanctions policy beyond Russia to its geopolitical backers. Zelenskyy labeled the Iranian government âone of the most brutal regimes in the worldâ and said Ukraine would contribute to targeting Iranian individuals, companies, and entities involved in both weapons production and regional destabilization. He emphasized the global importance of sanctions against both Russia and its partners. The announcement comes as Iran and Russia deepen defense ties amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
