President Emmanuel Macron made a grand entrance at the 2025 Bastille Day celebrations in Paris, marking France’s National Day with military pride, historic symbolism, and Olympic flair. One of the most memorable moments was the ceremonial handover of the sword, a tradition rich in honor and national identity.
Held on the iconic Champs-Élysées, the parade featured elite military units, fighter jet flyovers, and thousands of troops, as Macron reviewed the forces with full presidential ceremony. This year's celebrations also echoed the spirit of unity and resilience, with special tributes to WWII heroes and France’s liberators.

French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a dire warning about the security of Europe, calling the current geopolitical climate the gravest threat since World War II. In a hard-hitting speech on the eve of Bastille Day, Macron announced a dramatic increase in France's defence budget, vowing to double it to €64 billion by 2027—three years ahead of schedule. He cited Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, rising nuclear threats, and unpredictable U.S. policy as key concerns. “To be free, you must be feared,” he declared, reinforcing his belief in strength through military power. France’s top general also claimed Russia now views France as its top European adversary. As tensions soar and NATO pushes for 5% GDP defence spending, Macron’s move marks a strategic pivot to prepare France and Europe for a potentially volatile decade. The plan awaits approval, but the message is clear—Europe must act now or risk losing its standing.

Under dark, rain-filled skies over Washington, D.C., the U.S. Army’s elite parachute team, the Golden Knights, made an early descent in a dramatic twist to the planned military parade. Moved up due to worsening weather, the paratroopers soared down toward the Ellipse—where U.S President Donald Trump, joined by his family and senior officials, stood waiting.

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.
