Russia has ended its 30-day moratorium on energy-related strikesāan informal ceasefire reportedly brokered by Donald Trump. With the deal now effectively dead, Russian forces launched long-range precision strikes on Ukraineās 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.

Donald Trump has threatened to "take a pass" on attempts to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, as he denied the Kremlin was playing him. Sky News
In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territoriesāfor now. Ukraineās NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise.

Top Ukrainian officials made a surprise trip to Paris, pushing the U.S. for a tougher stance on Russia after failed ceasefire efforts. Their visit comes as Donald Trump's envoys, including Marco Rubio, meet with European leaders. With Ukraine accusing Trump of appeasing Moscow, tensions have reached a new peak. France, Germany, and the UK are pressing for action after deadly attacks on civilians in Sumy. Trump, frustrated by both sides, blamed Zelenskyy for provoking the warāraising alarms across Europe. A new security framework may be on the table, but peace remains distant.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has raised alarms at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, claiming that the Euro-Atlantic partnership led by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom is setting the stage for a new war. Lavrov slammed the failure of these countries to maintain stability and security, instead accusing them of inflaming tensions and militarizing Europe, despite its economic decline. He warned that Russia would not ignore actions that threaten its interests, while maintaining that Russia does not seek to threaten anyone.

The White House has issued a clarification on the controversial 245% tariff against China, detailing which goods will face the highest import taxes. This unprecedented wave of tariffsāranging from 145% to 245%āincludes legacy measures from Trumpās first term, as well as Biden-era expansions and new 2025 levies. Chinese goods like needles, syringes, lithium batteries, and sweaters are among the hardest hit. China responded firmly, warning the U.S. against threats and calling for mutual benefit in trade talks. The new tariffs mark a critical escalation in the ongoing trade war.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilitiesāraising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.
