USA green-lights depleted uranium for Kyiv; Moscow calls it 'an indicator of inhumanity'
Yesterday, the Pentagon announced a new security assistance package worth up to $175 million for Ukraine, including depleted uranium ammunition for M1 Abrams tanks the US plans to deliver to Ukraine this fall.
It is the first time the US will be sending the controversial armour-piercing munitions to Kyiv.
The Pentagon said the military aid would also include anti-armour systems, tactical air navigation systems and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems …or the HIMARS.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new aid for Ukraine in a visit to Kyiv, including about $665m in new military and civilian security assistance, as he hailed the months-long counteroffensive against the Russian forces in the country’s southeast.
The Pentagon has revealed that the number of US troops in Syria has more than doubled, now totaling around 2,000 instead of the previously reported 900. In this video, we explore the Pentagon's surprising admission and whether this surge of troops is linked to the recent political upheaval in Syria, particularly the fall of President Bashar Assad's government. With the timing of the deployment raising questions, is this just a coincidence, or is there a larger strategic plan at play? Join us as we dive into the details of this military escalation and its potential implications for US foreign policy in the region.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed regret over his country’s decision to relinquish its nuclear weapons in an interview, stating that Ukraine's lack of nuclear deterrence has left it vulnerable. Zelensky criticized the U.S., the U.K., and other security guarantors for failing to uphold their promises under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which assured Ukraine’s security in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. He used strong language to express his frustration, stating that the guarantors "didn’t give a f**k" about Ukraine's sovereignty or security. Zelensky further reflected on the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile, only to give it up in exchange for security assurances that, according to him, were never honored. He emphasized that if Ukraine had retained its nuclear capabilities, it would have been in a stronger position to deter Russia's aggression.

In a major setback for Ukraine, Russian forces have successfully repelled a large-scale counterattack in the Kursk Region, inflicting heavy losses on Kiev’s troops. Ukraine launched the assault with tanks, armored vehicles, and assault units in an attempt to halt Russia’s advance. However, Russian artillery and air forces decisively defeated the Ukrainian offensive, leaving behind destroyed vehicles and significant casualties. As tensions continue to escalate, Russian President Vladimir Putin vows to drive Ukrainian forces out of the region completely.

The attack, which also injured five other journalists documenting Ukrainian shelling, has drawn sharp condemnation from Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, who labeled the incident as a "deliberate murder" and part of Kyiv's "terrorist methods."

North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response. Is this a strategic warning from North Korea, or a sign of further escalation to come?

A Russian Lancet drone has reportedly destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system in Ukraine's Zaporozhye Region, signalling a potential blow to Ukraine's military capabilities. The strike, captured in an undated video released by the pro-Moscow Telegram channel 'The Wrong Side,' shows the HIMARS launcher being hit while on the move as part of a convoy near Novosoloshino. Although the system caught fire after the attack, it did not explode, as it was reportedly unloaded at the time. This incident highlights the growing challenges facing Ukraine’s defences amidst escalating Russian drone attacks and heavy losses on the frontlines. Russian forces have claimed significant destruction of Ukrainian military assets, including armoured personnel carriers, artillery systems, and ammunition depots. With casualties mounting and critical systems being targeted, Ukraine's defences appear increasingly strained.
