In a startling development, US intelligence agencies report that Russia might send advanced anti-ship missiles to Yemen’s Houthi rebels in retaliation for Washington's support for Ukraine. The White House is reportedly working behind the scenes to dissuade President Putin from this move. US Central Command chief Erik Kurilla has warned that US-led operations are failing to prevent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, calling for stronger military action and increased diplomatic and economic pressure on the Houthis. This video explores the potential implications of Russia's renewed push to arm the Houthis and the escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Germany's proposed 2025 budget aims to halve military aid for Ukraine from €8 billion to €4 billion. This comes amid economic challenges, with a €17-billion budget gap and plans for increased borrowing. The decision reflects broader financial pressures, including the depletion of a special military modernization fund by 2028. Germany's economic struggles are partly attributed to its rejection of Russian energy sources.

Russian forces have achieved significant gains in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine's Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), notably capturing Sokol village under the operation of Battlegroup Center. This strategic move has bolstered their tactical positions in the region. Concurrently, Battlegroup North has intensified operations in the Kharkov Region, conducting targeted strikes on Ukrainian personnel from multiple brigades near Volchansk, Staritsa, and Liptsy. Russian forces successfully repelled five Ukrainian counterattacks, involving the 92nd Assault Brigade and the East Special Operations Team. Their air defence systems intercepted and neutralised several Ukrainian missiles, including Storm Shadow, HARM, and HIMARS shells. Ukrainian losses include up to 650 personnel, along with significant equipment losses such as motor vehicles, howitzers, and munitions depots. These developments underscore the escalating toll and fluid dynamics of the conflict, with Russian forces advancing strategically while Ukraine faces substantial military setbacks.
