In a dramatic analogy, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to a children's brawl, saying it's better to “let them fight for a while” before peace is enforced. During his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump claimed acting like a referee, not a peacemaker. He also hinted at possible punitive actions against both nations if the war doesn't end, stating “it takes two to tango.” Merz, invoking D-Day history, urged Trump to use America’s power to stop Putin and bring peace to Europe.

During a public moment with German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, Donald Trump was presented with a framed birth certificate of his grandfather, Friedrich Trump. Born in 1869 near Brandenburg, Friedrich emigrated to the U.S. in 1885, laying the foundation for the Trump family’s real estate empire. Trump graciously accepted the gift, thanking Merz and joking about where to display it. The moment highlighted Trump’s German heritage and was seen as a symbolic gesture amid international diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump reignited his hardline immigration rhetoric, stating that a travel ban “can’t come soon enough.” Speaking about the migrant influx, he said the U.S. is “moving them out very strongly.” Trump also offered unsolicited advice to German Chancellor Merz on handling Europe’s “little problem” of migrants. As border politics heat up, Trump’s remarks are drawing backlash and support alike. The statements reflect his familiar stance on strict immigration controls and signal renewed focus on migration in his political narrative.

Russia has released new battlefield footage highlighting its growing dominance in drone warfare. The first clip shows a Russian UAV destroying a Ukrainian boat in the Kherson region. The second video reveals the advanced preparation and coordination of Russian forces in water operations. UAV units of the 18th Combined Arms Army effectively neutralized targets, while an uncrewed surface vehicle helped conceal a critical pontoon bridge—crucial for moving ammunition and supplies. The footage underlines Russia’s strategic push for control over key waterways amid the ongoing conflict.

An explosion rocked Russia’s Belgorod region early Friday, derailing a diesel locomotive and halting rail traffic for hours. Russian officials, including Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed the sabotage, which delayed even his own train. The blast follows a series of rail attacks in Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh, with Moscow accusing Ukraine of orchestrating "terrorist acts" to target infrastructure. President Putin condemned the incidents as attempts to derail diplomacy backed by the U.S., while analysts see Ukraine leveraging such disruptions to gain ground at the negotiation table.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.

Ukraine’s NATO membership hopes face a major setback as the alliance drops any mention of its bid from the upcoming Hague Summit’s final declaration. To avoid divisions, NATO will remain silent on Kyiv’s accession, with U.S. reluctance and Trump’s return to prominence deepening the rift. While Zelensky may attend a royal dinner, he’s excluded from formal talks. As NATO downplays Ukraine ties, Washington withdraws leadership, raising fears of a soft pivot toward Moscow amid stalled peace talks and rising global tensions.
