Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraine’s NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trump’s plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution.

In a dramatic escalation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his second warning to the U.S. and NATO in just 24 hours, announcing the readiness of Russia’s powerful Oreshnik hypersonic missile system. The missile, a game-changer in modern warfare, is poised to be deployed in combat as a key strategic asset in Russia’s arsenal. With no current means of interception by any nation, the Oreshnik missile's devastating power and precision could redefine the global military balance. This latest development signals growing tensions between Russia and the West, as fears of a wider conflict, potentially spiralling into World War III, intensify.
