Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation.

In a dramatic statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern ultimatum to the U.S., warning that the INF Treaty could collapse if Washington fails to uphold its commitments. The treaty, which prevents the deployment of intermediate-range missiles, has been a cornerstone of arms control for decades. However, Putin's announcement signals that Russia may abandon its unilateral restraint if the U.S. proceeds with deploying similar weapons. The Russian leader's comments come amid heightened tensions over missile defense systems and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The future of global arms control hangs in the balance as both nations face off over military supremacy.
