Russia has issued a stark warning to Germany over its decision to lift restrictions on supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine. Moscow’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu threatened a “massive response” if Germany delivers Taurus missiles, calling it a move that risks direct war. Following Zelensky’s meeting with Chancellor Merz, speculation grows around German involvement. While Germany promises support in developing Ukraine’s missile capability, Russia labels the move dangerous and provocative, with some warning it could ignite a wider conflict.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Berlin to meet Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Steinmeier, seeking vital military aid including Taurus cruise missiles with a 500km range. While Merz has shown support for missile deliveries—unlike his predecessor—approval remains uncertain amid coalition tensions. Zelensky aims to secure weapons that could enable Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. Germany, Ukraine’s top European defense donor, is navigating a delicate balance as U.S. support wavers, with calls for a united European response and tougher sanctions if no ceasefire emerges.

Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war. Here's what both sides are really saying.
