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.
Global leaders expressed mixed reactions to Donald Trump’s second-term inauguration. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized peace through strength, while NATO highlighted increased defense spending. Israel’s Netanyahu celebrated a stronger alliance, and India’s Modi expressed enthusiasm for renewed collaboration. EU and Germany emphasized transatlantic ties, while Canada highlighted economic partnership amid tariff concerns. Trump’s return reignites international focus on diplomacy, alliances, and shared prosperity across the globe.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone. No official confirmations have been made by the UK or France.

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.
