NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent remarks against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts.

In a historic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a comprehensive cooperation pact in Moscow, solidifying the partnership between two of the world's most heavily sanctioned nations. The treaty aims to enhance military, political, and trade-economic ties, with a focus on regional security, energy collaboration, and the peaceful use of nuclear technology. Both countries seek to counter external interference, especially from the U.S. and NATO, while working on joint projects in sectors like gold and diamond mining, oil, gas, and infrastructure development. The agreement comes just days before Donald Trump's return to power, raising questions about the future of US-Iran relations.
