Nicuşor Dan won Romania’s presidency with 54% of the vote, defeating ultranationalist rival George Simion in a runoff that followed the annulment of last year’s results over foreign interference concerns.
Simion initially refused to concede, denouncing the rerun as a “coup,” but later congratulated Dan while vowing political resistance Dan’s win was celebrated by EU leaders as a win for pro-European democracy, with leaders including Macron, Von der Leyen, and Zelensky welcoming his election, calling it a signal of Romania’s firm commitment to NATO, the EU, and democratic values in a region vulnerable to Russian influence.

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Donald Trump’s latest analogy calling the Russia-Ukraine war “a fight between two kids.” Rejecting the playground comparison, Zelensky thundered, “Putin didn’t come to play—he came to Kill children.” The chilling rebuttal came as global leaders urged U.S. action. Trump, however, signaled a hands-off stance, drawing criticism. The Kremlin labeled the war existential. With tensions high, Zelensky’s emotional retort reframes the war as a deadly invasion — not a childish scuffle — and challenges the West’s moral responsibility to act.

A deadly new chapter in the Ukraine-Russia war is unfolding. After Ukraine launched strikes on Russian nuclear bases, President Vladimir Putin vowed swift retaliation. The Kremlin has already responded with missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian targets, killing civilians and escalating the war dramatically.
In a stunning statement, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for provoking Moscow, saying Zelensky "gave Putin a reason to strike." Trump also questioned the reliability of American intelligence, suggesting he's being fed a filtered version of the truth.
As Operation Spiderweb intensifies and diplomatic channels break down, fears of a full-scale East-West confrontation are growing. Who’s really in control—and what comes next?

As the Trump–Musk feud dominates global headlines, Moscow is watching with popcorn in hand. Russian leaders, from ex-presidents to space chiefs, are trolling both men with job offers, sarcastic peace talks, and tech freedom promises. Elon Musk was invited to move his ventures to Russia, while Trump’s drama was dismissed as typical American chaos. Kremlin figures say the distraction benefits Russia, with one nationalist even calling it “the best time to strike Ukraine.” This bizarre turn of geopolitics is half mockery, half opportunity—for Russia, it’s a win either way.

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war. Here's what both sides are really saying.

Following a dramatic drone assault by Ukraine under 'Operation Spider’s Web', Russia has vowed retaliation. President Putin reportedly told Donald Trump in a 75-minute call that a response is inevitable after over 40 Russian bombers were destroyed. The Kremlin later confirmed that the military would decide “how and when” to act. The drone strikes were part of a long-planned Ukrainian operation. Hours later, Russian drones struck back, killing five civilians in Ukraine. Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv surge as both sides brace for further escalation.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.
