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.

Speculation is rising after Ukrainian President Zelensky met German Chancellor Merz to discuss acquiring German-made Taurus missiles—highly lethal, long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia. Ukraine faces challenges operating this advanced technology without German support, which could delay deployment by years. If used soon, Moscow may accuse Germany of direct involvement, risking Russian retaliation including deployment of Oreshnik strike complexes. Russian media warns Germany against provoking escalation that could spark a wider conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced a second round of peace talks with Ukraine, proposed for June 2 in Istanbul. Moscow plans to present a formal memorandum outlining its "vision for peace" and will offer clarifications during the talks. The Russian delegation, again led by Vladimir Medinsky, hopes for international backing. However, Ukraine’s participation remains uncertain, especially after receiving strong military and diplomatic support from Germany. With tensions high, whether this new round yields progress remains to be seen.

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust.

Russia accuses Serbia of secretly supplying arms to Ukraine via NATO states, undermining its declared neutrality in the war. Russian intelligence alleges Serbian ammunition is reaching Kyiv through intermediaries in Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Africa. Reports claim over $855 million in Serbian arms have flowed to Ukraine since 2024. While Serbia denies direct involvement, officials admit weapons may appear via third parties. As Belgrade balances EU aspirations and ties with Moscow, the controversy risks straining its geopolitical tightrope.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has proposed June 2 as the next date for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, following their first meeting since 2022 on May 16. Russia claims it’s ready with a detailed peace memorandum and awaits Kiev’s confirmation. Lavrov thanked Türkiye, the US, and Saudi Arabia for facilitating dialogue. This development follows the largest Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap yet—1,000 individuals exchanged. Talks aim at lasting peace, with Moscow pushing for Ukraine’s neutrality and non-NATO status amid Western media claims of delays.

Trump stated he'd meet both leaders “if necessary” to stop the violence. His remarks follow a stern warning to Putin and Russia’s retaliation with WWIII rhetoric.
