Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova broke down in tears as she read the names of children killed in the Ukraine conflict.
In an emotional address, she condemned Kyiv's forced conscription policies, alleging that even pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities are being drafted into the Ukrainian military.
Zakharova also renewed Russia’s calls for a UN investigation into alleged war crimes in Bucha, accusing the West of covering up Ukrainian "stagings." With tensions escalating, will global powers take action, or will these pleas go unheard?

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region.

Zelensky is accused of planning a major provocation ahead of the highly anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. According to Russian intelligence, Kyiv is preparing a large-scale strike using UAVs and missiles targeting residential areas — an attack that could be blamed on Moscow to derail peace efforts.

A high-stakes showdown is set to unfold in Alaska as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump prepare for direct talks that could reshape the global balance of power. With the Ukraine war at a critical juncture, speculation is mounting over whether Trump will strike a deal with Moscow — and at what cost to Kiev.
Reports suggest territorial swaps are on the table, an idea Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected, vowing never to cede land to Russia. The choice of Alaska — a symbolic and strategic location once sold by Russia to the United States — has fueled intrigue, raising questions about the real motives behind the venue. Is this a step toward peace, or the beginning of a dangerous new chapter in the conflict? The world is watching as the stage is set for a potentially history-changing negotiation.

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General António Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the “criminal Kyiv regime.” Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading “fabricated lies” and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage.

A damning UN report has placed Israel and Russia “on notice” over credible allegations of sexu@l violence by their armed forces in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that both nations could be formally added to the blacklist of violators in next year’s report if patterns persist. The findings cite abuses by Israeli security forces against Palestinian detainees, including forced nud!!ty and genital violence, while Russia faces similar scrutiny in Ukraine. In a historic first, Hamas has also been added to the list for sexu@l violence during the October 7 massacre and against hostages, following evidence from Project Dinah

Israel’s Gaza military operations are triggering a growing diplomatic backlash, with Australia and New Zealand signaling plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the UN this September. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the move aligns with global momentum for a two-state solution, joined by more than 15 nations including France, the UK, and Canada. Albanese and New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters have also criticized Israel’s defiance of international law, warning that Gaza’s situation has reached catastrophic levels.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.
