Germany commemorated the 80th Victory Day with ceremonies honoring the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Despite a ban on Soviet-era songs and symbols due to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, Russian folk songs echoed through Berlin streets in defiance. The ban sparked criticism from Russia, emphasizing the right to honor Red Army soldiers who played a vital role in defeating Nazism and sacrificing millions of lives during the war.

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting ā missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfDās rise, and global pressure on Germanyās next leader.

French President Emmanuel Macron has delivered a stark assessment of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, stating bluntly that Ukraine cannot retake territories already lost to Russia. Acknowledging that even Ukrainian authorities are aware of this, Macron emphasized the need for a united international effort to support Ukraineāwithout escalating into World War III. Calling for peace, he said Ukraine must be positioned strongly for negotiations and confirmed that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Instead, Macron proposed a deployment of reassurance forces by willing allies, stationed far from the frontlines. The comments come ahead of planned peace talks in Istanbul, which remain deadlocked over Ukraineās refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered Ukraine a chance to resume peace talks in Istanbul without any preconditions. Moscow accuses Kyiv of violating multiple ceasefires, including launching over 500 drones during a Victory Day truce. Putin claims Ukraine made five cross-border strike attempts and failed to honor past ceasefire agreements. Talks may restart on May 15 in Istanbul, where earlier negotiations stalled in 2022. Putin insists Russia is ready for serious dialogue, while thanking China and Turkey for supporting a diplomatic solution.
