Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outlined the ambitious objectives behind Kiev’s recent incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Describing the operation as a crucial move to establish a strategic "buffer zone" on Russian soil, Zelensky revealed that Ukraine aims to take Russian soldiers captive and inflict significant economic damage on Moscow.
The Ukrainian leader emphasised that this bold strategy is designed to weaken Russia’s military capabilities and bring the conflict closer to a "just peace." As the operation unfolds, its impact on the broader geopolitical landscape remains to be seen.
Putin raised a customary glass of champagne with soldiers on Defender of the Fatherland Day, honoring their role in protecting Russia’s sovereignty. He later knelt at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, paying tribute to fallen heroes. In his speech, Putin reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the Russian armed forces, calling them the key to the nation’s security and progress. He also awarded medals to veterans, praising their courage and dedication.

In a dramatic move, 112 Israelis, including families of hostages held in Gaza, have filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for failing to prioritize the safe return of captives. The plaintiffs accuse the government of violating fundamental laws and neglecting their rights, expressing frustration over 15 months of inaction. Families, represented by Attorney Professor Barak Medina, claim the government's unilateral decisions, without consulting security officials, have contributed to the prolonged suffering. As families demand answers, Netanyahu’s office disputes reports of a potential exchange deal with Hamas. The case, now in Israel’s Supreme Court, is expected to put immense pressure on the government to act.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of prioritizing his political survival over the lives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Gantz criticized Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure the release of captives, highlighting that key war objectives—toppling Hamas’ rule and bringing hostages back—remain unfulfilled. He also suggested that Netanyahu’s reluctance to allow a civilian government in Gaza is prolonging the conflict unnecessarily. Gantz’s remarks came amidst rising concerns from Israeli military officials, who warned that without a clear post-war strategy, Hamas could rebuild its power and influence in Gaza.
