In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported shooting down 112 Ukrainian drones overnight across 13 regions, including Moscow, Crimea, and Tula. Air traffic was disrupted at major airports, and debris caused injuries and damage in Lipetsk. This wave is part of Ukraine's intensified drone campaign, with nearly 500 UAVs intercepted nationwide since Tuesday. The assault comes as Russia prepares for major wartime commemorations, raising concerns about air defense vulnerabilities and retaliatory responses in an increasingly volatile conflict zone.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

In a private May 19 call with EU leaders, Donald Trump revealed that Vladimir Putin doesn’t plan to end the Ukraine war—because he believes he's winning. This follows a confidential conversation between Trump and Putin just a day earlier. While Trump had once claimed Putin sought peace, this marked his first admission that Russia intends to prolong the conflict. Trump backed off earlier threats of sanctions, telling leaders, “This isn’t my war.” EU officials now worry U.S. support for Ukraine may fade, leaving Europe to lead the response alone.

Iran has issued a grave warning to Israel, vowing a devastating retaliation for any strike on its nuclear facilities. The IRGC declared Israel too small and exposed to survive a major response. Following a U.S. intel leak suggesting Israeli strike plans, Iran called on the UN and IAEA to condemn the threats. Tehran accused Netanyahu of provoking conflict to dodge ICC scrutiny and derail diplomacy. Iran warns that failure to act will force it to defend its nuclear assets unilaterally.

Iran’s Army has unveiled three new domestically-developed VTOL drones—Homa, Dideban, and Shahin-1—at a military base in Zahedan. Designed for electronic warfare and harsh terrain, the drones offer advanced capabilities: Homa conducts high-altitude night reconnaissance, Dideban enables precision targeting with swarm tactics, and Shahin-1 delivers high-speed suicide strikes. The showcase signals Iran’s growing focus on drone warfare and unmanned systems amid rising regional tensions. Tehran insists its missile and UAV programs remain non-negotiable in defense strategy.

As tensions surge in the Middle East, a fresh nuclear crisis brews between Iran and Europe. Tehran has issued a stark warning to the UK, France, and Germany, threatening to abandon the 2015 nuclear agreement—formally known as the JCPOA—if European powers move to trigger its dispute resolution mechanism. Top Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi accused the EU of aligning with U.S. sanctions and betraying the deal’s core commitments. Iran insists its uranium enrichment program is peaceful and non-negotiable, honoring the legacy of nuclear scientists killed in past attacks.

U.S. intelligence suggests Israel may strike Iranian nuclear sites this year, despite President Trump’s ongoing diplomatic talks with Tehran. Military activity and intercepted messages indicate Israel is preparing for possible action as negotiations stall. Trump issued a 60-day ultimatum to Iran, keeping military options open. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces pressure to block a weak deal without alienating Trump. With Iran’s defenses weakened and enrichment continuing, the risk of unilateral Israeli action grows, potentially disrupting U.S.-Iran diplomacy and escalating regional tensions.

Iran has summoned the British charge d’affaires in Tehran to protest the arrest of several Iranian nationals in the UK, calling the detentions unjustified, evidence-less, and politically motivated. Tehran accused London of violating international law and denying consular access to its citizens. The arrests were made under the Terrorism Act, but all four detainees were later released. Iran holds the UK responsible for any fallout from this move. Ongoing investigations and searches continue across various cities in Britain, escalating diplomatic tensions between Tehran and London.
