Putin and Lukashenko Arrive in Volgograd: WWII Commemoration or Strategic Play Amid Rising Tensions?
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko have arrived in Volgograd—formerly known as Stalingrad—for a high-profile World War II commemoration.
But is this just a symbolic tribute to Soviet history, or something more?
The two leaders are expected to address a joint Russian-Belarusian parliamentary forum on wartime legacy, but their private meeting is sparking speculation about deeper military and strategic coordination.
With Belarus now formally aligned with nuclear-armed Russia through a 2024 defense pact, and tensions with the West rising, many are questioning the true purpose behind this visit.
Watch the full video to explore what’s really going on.
Putin launched a wave of kamikaze drone strikes on Zelensky’s hometown, Kryvyi Rih, plunging the city into chaos. Meanwhile, Kharkiv was rocked by 17 powerful explosions within just 20 minutes, marking one of the most intense overnight assaults in recent weeks. The attacks underscore Russia’s unrelenting aggression and the growing vulnerability of Ukrainian urban centers.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has intercepted a Russian agent caught red-handed planting a bomb in a civilian apartment in Rivne, Western Ukraine. The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Lviv, was allegedly recruited via Telegram by Russian intelligence with promises of “easy money.”
The device was intended to be detonated remotely in a densely populated city center, aiming to inflict maximum civilian casualties and spread fear. The suspect now faces terrorism-related charges, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives.
Authorities say this plot is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting civilians far from the frontlines, often exploiting vulnerable individuals with criminal or addiction histories. This is yet another stark reminder that Putin’s war is not limited to the battlefield.

In a major geopolitical twist, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky held a “very good” phone call focused on ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump reaffirmed U.S. support, warning Russia of 100% tariffs on energy exports unless peace is reached in 50 days. Zelensky welcomed Trump’s stance and thanked him for his commitment to stopping civilian killings. The call came after Trump’s meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte, signaling a revived U.S.-EU push to arm Ukraine and pressure Russia into a peace deal.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications.
Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

Tensions ran high as President Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House. When asked how far he would go if Putin escalated the war in Ukraine, Trump fired back: “Don’t ask me a question like that.” He went on to emphasize his desire to end the war, calling for strength through unity and a better-armed Europe.
Trump also announced that the U.S. will manufacture and send “top-of-the-line weapons” to NATO — a move likely to inflame Russia and reshape NATO’s military posture.
Watch the full exchange and breakdown of what this means for Ukraine, NATO, and the path forward in Europe’s most dangerous conflict since WWII.

President Emmanuel Macron made a grand entrance at the 2025 Bastille Day celebrations in Paris, marking France’s National Day with military pride, historic symbolism, and Olympic flair. One of the most memorable moments was the ceremonial handover of the sword, a tradition rich in honor and national identity.
Held on the iconic Champs-Élysées, the parade featured elite military units, fighter jet flyovers, and thousands of troops, as Macron reviewed the forces with full presidential ceremony. This year's celebrations also echoed the spirit of unity and resilience, with special tributes to WWII heroes and France’s liberators.

French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a dire warning about the security of Europe, calling the current geopolitical climate the gravest threat since World War II. In a hard-hitting speech on the eve of Bastille Day, Macron announced a dramatic increase in France's defence budget, vowing to double it to €64 billion by 2027—three years ahead of schedule. He cited Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, rising nuclear threats, and unpredictable U.S. policy as key concerns. “To be free, you must be feared,” he declared, reinforcing his belief in strength through military power. France’s top general also claimed Russia now views France as its top European adversary. As tensions soar and NATO pushes for 5% GDP defence spending, Macron’s move marks a strategic pivot to prepare France and Europe for a potentially volatile decade. The plan awaits approval, but the message is clear—Europe must act now or risk losing its standing.

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.

Putin Fear Grips the West? In a dramatic escalation, NATO has ordered a fivefold increase in missile defense systems across Europe amid growing fears of Russian aggression. As President Putin ramps up military activity near NATO borders, alliance leaders are scrambling to seal defense gaps from the Arctic to Eastern Europe. Defense ministers are meeting in Brussels, and even countries like Iceland—without an army—are stepping up. The West braces for what could be a defining standoff.
