Putin Praises Pope Francis After His Death, Despite Past War Clashes | Calls Him ‘A Great Man’
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church.
Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace.
The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics.

Amidst US-Russia tensions over the Ukraine war, Moscow is actively seeking to strengthen its ties with India, particularly through defense deals and diplomatic.. IndiaTimes
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Donald Trump’s latest analogy calling the Russia-Ukraine war “a fight between two kids.” Rejecting the playground comparison, Zelensky thundered, “Putin didn’t come to play—he came to Kill children.” The chilling rebuttal came as global leaders urged U.S. action. Trump, however, signaled a hands-off stance, drawing criticism. The Kremlin labeled the war existential. With tensions high, Zelensky’s emotional retort reframes the war as a deadly invasion — not a childish scuffle — and challenges the West’s moral responsibility to act.

A deadly new chapter in the Ukraine-Russia war is unfolding. After Ukraine launched strikes on Russian nuclear bases, President Vladimir Putin vowed swift retaliation. The Kremlin has already responded with missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian targets, killing civilians and escalating the war dramatically.
In a stunning statement, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for provoking Moscow, saying Zelensky "gave Putin a reason to strike." Trump also questioned the reliability of American intelligence, suggesting he's being fed a filtered version of the truth.
As Operation Spiderweb intensifies and diplomatic channels break down, fears of a full-scale East-West confrontation are growing. Who’s really in control—and what comes next?

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants. As the media focuses on the controversial land expropriation in South Africa, many are now calling out the double standard in U.S. immigration policy.

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.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the UK of playing a direct role in Ukraine’s alleged terrorist attacks inside Russia. Speaking at the 'Forum of the Future 2050' in Moscow, Lavrov said Ukraine would be “helpless” without British assistance, citing deadly sabotage incidents and coordinated drone strikes across Russian territory. Lavrov claimed the U.S. has pulled back, leaving Britain “100%” involved. The UK has declined to comment on operational matters, while Moscow’s ambassador to London also pointed to UK-supplied geospatial data as key to recent attacks.

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 shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability. This unprecedented interference raises serious questions about the state of religious rights in Moldova.
