‘trillions, Not Billions,’ Nato Chief Announces Big Defence Spending After Meeting Trump
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met with President Trump to discuss the upcoming NATO summit, highlighting European and Canadian defense spending as a key topic.
Rutte praised Trump for pushing NATO allies to invest more in their own security, promising that NATO will grow stronger and fairer with trillions in defense funding.
When asked about the Russia-Ukraine war, Rutte remained cautious, noting that the ball is in Russia's corner and Trump's peace deal is still in the works.
NATO unity and defense priorities remain at the forefront.

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.
The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.
Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.

Is Russia producing a year's worth of NATO ammunition in three months?

Ukraine's drone revolution is turning the tide of war. Along a 20 km “kill zone” near the frontline, kamikaze, surveillance, and bomber UAVs swarm the skies, making Russia's traditional advantages of tanks, artillery, and manpower nearly obsolete.
Ukrainian commanders say drones now account for over 70% of successful strikes on Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russia adapts with new tactics—sending small groups on quad bikes to bait fire and launch counter-drone strikes. With European support rising and U.S. aid shifting under Trump’s NATO-based weapons plan, Ukraine banks on domestically produced long-range drones to hold ground and retaliate deep into Russia. The battlefield is no longer just about artillery—it's a race of innovation and aerial dominance

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured.
Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success.
Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended.

On the night of July 17–18, Russia launched a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine, striking the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts with drones and other weapons. At least two civilians were killed and 11 injured in the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk, where homes, a school, a shop, and cars were damaged. In Zaporizhzhia, Shahed drones ignited fires in non-residential buildings, injuring a 79-year-old man.

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region.
These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces.

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit.
