In a dramatic interview with RT’s Anna Knishenko, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Israel and Ukraine of deliberately instigating major regional conflicts to address their own issues. Lavrov claims that Israel is leveraging current tensions to resolve long-standing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and pro-Iranian groups, while avoiding direct engagement from Tehran. He also draws a parallel with Ukraine, suggesting President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to entangle Western powers, including the US and NATO, into a direct confrontation with Russia. Lavrov's statements reveal a contentious perspective on the geopolitical manoeuvring by both nations, highlighting the complex and volatile nature of current international conflicts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing intense criticism from within his own ranks following significant battlefield setbacks in both the Donbass and Kursk regions. According to the Financial Times, soldiers, lawmakers, and military analysts are expressing frustration over the rapid advances made by Russian forces, which have reportedly exploited weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense strategy. The situation has deteriorated as Russian troops have breached Ukrainian lines in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), closing in on the strategically crucial city of Pokrovsk. This city’s loss would have severe implications for Ukrainian military logistics, with analysts describing the current defensive situation as a “complete failure” and “complete chaos.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash. The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party. Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.
