Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missilesâcapable of striking targets up to 500 km awayâwill not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a âcriminal regime.â

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germanyâs support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies.
The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Unâwho pledged unconditional support for Russiaâs warâand Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment.

In a tense Oval Office dinner on JulyâŻ7,âŻ2025, President Trump directly asked Prime Minister Netanyahu about the viability of a two-state solution. Instead of embracing Palestinian sovereignty, Netanyahu fired back: "Overall security will always remain in our hands", rejecting a fully independent Palestinian state. As Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations unfold, this blunt dismissal marks a dramatic shift in U.S.âIsrael diplomacyâand raises alarming questions about the future of Palestinian autonomy and regional security.

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a âglorious triumphâ while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The agreement includes âdisengagement, disarmament and conditional integrationâ of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congoâs rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remainâespecially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism.
Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare.
