NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.

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.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia.

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 Ukraine—without 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 Ukraine’s refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea.
