Russia has ended its 30-day moratorium on energy-related strikes—an informal ceasefire reportedly brokered by Donald Trump. With the deal now effectively dead, Russian forces launched long-range precision strikes on Ukraine’s drone production facilities, airfields, and weapons depots. The Kremlin accuses Kyiv of violating the truce through drone incursions into Russian territory, prompting what Moscow calls a justified military response. As hopes for a Trump-led diplomatic breakthrough fade, the region braces for renewed conflict.

The U.S. has revoked all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and halted future issuances, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday. The decision follows Juba’s alleged refusal to accept deported nationals. The State Department criticized South Sudan’s transitional government for “taking advantage” of U.S. leniency. The move comes amid worsening instability in South Sudan, which faces mass displacement and food crises. The Biden administration says visa restrictions will remain until full cooperation is ensured. South Sudan’s Foreign Ministry and the UN have not responded to requests for comment.
