Russia Prepares ICBM Launch to Intimidate Ukraine & NATO — Nuclear Posturing as War Enters 4th Year
Tensions are reaching a boiling point as Ukraine’s military intelligence reveals that Russia is preparing a “training and combat” launch of the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile.
With a range of over 10,000 kilometers, this move is seen as a direct threat to Ukraine, NATO, and the EU.
As the war grinds into its fourth year, Russia’s nuclear posturing signals a dangerous escalation.
What does this mean for regional stability and global security?
In this video, we break down the implications, international reactions, and what might come next.
In a high-stakes meeting, US Vice President JD Vance, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came together in Rome for a critical discussion on trade, Ukraine, and defense. With tensions simmering between the US and the EU over trade agreements, Ukraine’s ongoing crisis, and defense investments, the talks revealed deep divisions but also a shared commitment to finding common ground. As von der Leyen highlighted the importance of strengthening transatlantic ties, Vance expressed the US's support for European security despite the challenges. This pivotal meeting marks a turning point in global diplomacy, as international powers strategize their next moves.

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.”
World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?

Russia and Ukraine concluded their first direct peace talks since 2022 in Istanbul, ending in under two hours. A major breakthrough remained elusive, with both nations agreeing only on a large prisoner swap of 1,000 POWs each. Ukraine, backed by Western allies, demanded a ceasefire, but Russia rejected the proposal and introduced new demands. Leaders from the U.S. and Europe called for tougher sanctions. Meanwhile, fighting intensifies on Ukrainian soil, with casualties mounting and fresh offensives anticipated. Hopes for a ceasefire dimmed as diplomacy stalled.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

NATO faces a deepening crisis as a major corruption probe targets its support and procurement agency. Coordinated raids across six countries, including the U.S., led to multiple arrests over allegations of bribery, money laundering, and misuse of classified data in defense contracts. Belgian authorities confirmed drone and ammunition deals are under scrutiny. NATO says it is cooperating fully. Secretary General Mark Rutte vowed to “clean house” as the scandal threatens procurement efforts amid urgent calls to arm Ukraine.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.
