Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sparked controversy by stating Poland aims to make "big money" from Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. Emphasizing both humanitarian aid and economic opportunity, Tusk said Poland seeks significant profits through a logistics hub supporting Ukraine’s rebuilding, potentially worth hundreds of billions. He defended the stance as "honest," referencing past missed opportunities like Iraq’s reconstruction. His remarks come amid EU discussions on using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s recovery, drawing sharp criticism from Moscow.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again accused Western nations of staging a “bloody coup” in Ukraine in 2014, blaming them for toppling the pro-Kremlin government of Viktor Yanukovich. Referring to the ouster as an “anti-constitutional armed coup”, Putin claims the West provoked Russia into action and is now blaming Moscow for “defending the people.” In a strongly-worded address, Putin said the 2014 events led to an illegitimate Western-backed regime, hostile to Russian interests.

Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko have arrived in Volgograd—formerly known as Stalingrad—for a high-profile World War II commemoration. But is this just a symbolic tribute to Soviet history, or something more? The two leaders are expected to address a joint Russian-Belarusian parliamentary forum on wartime legacy, but their private meeting is sparking speculation about deeper military and strategic coordination. With Belarus now formally aligned with nuclear-armed Russia through a 2024 defense pact, and tensions with the West rising, many are questioning the true purpose behind this visit. Watch the full video to explore what’s really going on.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers. Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone. Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy. The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.

Russia’s latest wave of strikes across Ukraine is a direct response to intensified drone attacks by Kiev, the Kremlin said on Monday. According to spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Ukrainian forces have targeted Russian civilian infrastructure, prompting retaliatory missile and drone strikes on military facilities, including a production plant in Kiev. The escalation follows recent negotiations between Putin and Trump. As hundreds of drones were intercepted, Russia claimed its actions were necessary to safeguard national security amid renewed attempts at diplomacy and prisoner exchanges.

In one of the most intense days of drone warfare to date, Russian air defenses reportedly shot down over 150 Ukrainian kamikaze drones in just 24 hours. As Kyiv escalates its long-range raids deep into Russian territory, dramatic footage from Tula shows a cathedral dome hit and set ablaze. The Kremlin says the shift from night raids to relentless daytime swarms marks a new phase in the conflict — even as the U.S. pushes both sides toward peace talks. What does this escalation mean for future negotiations and the safety of civilians on both sides?

After a deadly Russian drone strike devastated Kyiv, Donald Trump lashed out at Vladimir Putin, calling him “crazy” and warning that continued attacks could “lead to the downfall of Russia.” Despite years of past friendliness, Trump distanced himself from both Putin and Zelenskyy, blaming all sides—Putin, Zelenskyy, and Biden—for the escalating war. As Russia unleashes its biggest aerial assault since 2022, questions rise over Trump's stance and whether he’s signaling a possible shift in approach.
