Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Berlin to meet Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Steinmeier, seeking vital military aid including Taurus cruise missiles with a 500km range. While Merz has shown support for missile deliveries—unlike his predecessor—approval remains uncertain amid coalition tensions. Zelensky aims to secure weapons that could enable Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. Germany, Ukraine’s top European defense donor, is navigating a delicate balance as U.S. support wavers, with calls for a united European response and tougher sanctions if no ceasefire emerges.

Ukraine launched a massive counterattack using over 200 drones across six Russian regions, forcing Moscow airports to suspend operations. This came after a deadly Russian drone strike injured civilians in Kharkiv. Ukraine issued air raid alerts across major cities including Kyiv, Odesa, and Sumy. Meanwhile, former Russian President Medvedev warned of a potential World War III, drawing a sharp rebuke from Trump’s Ukraine envoy. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is now heading to Berlin for high-stakes talks with German Chancellor Merz, who pledged stronger military support and lifted weapon range restrictions.

Emphasizing both humanitarian aid and economic opportunity, Tusk said Poland seeks significant profits through a logistics hub supporting Ukraine’s rebuilding, potentially worth hundreds of billions.
