In a rare and high-stakes diplomatic exchange, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reconnected for the first time in nearly two years, engaging in a detailed and frank hour-long conversation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterised the call as a candid discussion where both leaders outlined their positions on the Ukraine conflict. Putin, speaking in Russian through a translator despite his German proficiency, reiterated Moscow’s demands for Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarisation, and the recognition of Russian-annexed territories. Scholz, facing a political crisis at home, pressed for a withdrawal of Russian troops and reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Ukraine. The timing of the call, coinciding with key international events, marks a pivotal moment in Russia-Germany relations as diplomatic tensions continue to mount.

Norway has announced plans to open a new NATO Arctic and amphibious warfare center in the municipality of Sorreisa, located near Russia’s strategic port of Murmansk. This new base will be pivotal in training US, British, and Dutch marines for potential amphibious assaults and military operations in the Arctic region. With heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, especially following Russia's military activities in Ukraine and the Arctic, this move signals a major shift in NATO’s defense strategy. The new hub is expected to be operational by 2026, and it aims to strengthen allied cooperation in the Nordic region. In response, Russia has warned of its readiness to defend its interests in the Arctic. What does this mean for the future of NATO-Russia relations?

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev issued a stark warning about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's future. He suggested that if another Maidan uprising occurs in Ukraine, Zelensky may face a fate worse than former President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled during the 2014 protests. Medvedev criticized Kyiv for condemning the recent crackdown on protests in Georgia, calling it hypocritical. Referring to Zelensky as a "bloodthirsty clown," Medvedev speculated that Ukraine’s "illegitimate authorities" would struggle to handle mass unrest, implying dire consequences.
