State of the Union: Ukraine's incursion in Russia is 'changing the momentum', says US general
This edition of State of the Union focuses on the ongoing Ukrainian incursion in Russia and the latest spat between the EU and Hungary over Budapest's easing of immigration laws to include Russian and Belorussian nationals.
In a stunning development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he will speak with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone. The announcement came during a business forum on July 3, 2025, with Putin offering no details on the agenda before leaving abruptly for the call. Minutes later, Trump confirmed the 10 AM ET conversation on social media, sending shockwaves through the international community.
This high-stakes call comes at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war. Russian forces have been making significant territorial gains, recently claiming full control over the strategic region of Luhansk. This major blow to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government has been exacerbated by a slowdown in crucial military support from the United States. Moscow has intensified its aerial attacks, and the geopolitical landscape appears to be shifting, with both NATO and the U.S. seemingly easing their harsh rhetoric against Putin's actions.
Speculation is now rampant over the purpose of the Putin-Trump discussion. Key questions remain unanswered: What will they discuss? Will this call formalize a Russian victory and signal the end of the war? This move is particularly significant given Trump's previous vow to end the war in "24 hours," a promise he has struggled to fulfill since taking office. The world is watching to see if this phone call will reshape global security and determine the final fate of Ukraine.

In a stunning development, the U.S. has halted a critical weapons shipment to Ukraine that had already been staged in Poland, according to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. The cache includes over two dozen PAC-3 Patriot missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air-defense systems, Hellfire missiles, and 90+ AIM air-to-air missiles designated for Ukraineās F-16 fighter jets. U.S. administration and congressional officials reportedly confirmed the freeze, which aligns with the ongoing strategic review under the āAmerica Firstā doctrine. The move comes amid rising Ukrainian frustration, with officials accusing Washington of endangering their defense readiness. The freeze has triggered intense geopolitical anxiety, with Kyiv urging clarity while Moscow eyes an advantage.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor OrbĆ”nās right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to āban loveā and labeled the event a protest against what she called āfascistā attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. BalĆ”zs OrbĆ”n, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a āyoung, angry personā offering āunsolicited advice,ā also referencing her āfailed Gaza activism.ā
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say OrbĆ”n's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunbergās visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungaryās politics ā and one that's drawing international attention.

Former President Barack Obama has issued a stark warning about the direction of U.S. democracy, accusing Donald Trump and his allies of weakening democratic norms and echoing authoritarian tactics. Speaking at an event in Connecticut and in a separate interview, Obama compared the U.S. to nations like Hungary and Russia, where elections happen but leaders ignore the peopleās voice. He urged judges, officials, and citizens to protect the Constitution and reject misinformation, warning that when truth is lost, dictatorship begins to take root.
