Lithuanian Team Disqualified from International Event for Anti-Russia T-shirt Endorsed by Zelensky
Lithuanian athlete Kornelija Dudaite was disqualified from the 2024 Super Worlds fitness competition in Hungary after wearing a controversial 'Make Russia Small Again' T-shirt.

Despite Russian nationals competing under a neutral flag, Dudaite expressed her strong opposition to their presence and stood firm in her political stance.
Watch this video for the full breakdown of the incident, the reaction from Lithuania’s top politicians, and the ongoing debate over political messages in sports.

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.

Russian forces have claimed a significant victory near the strategic city of Pokrovsk in Donbass, successfully capturing fortified Ukrainian positions after a fierce assault. A video released by Russia's Ministry of Defense shows the destruction of a German-made Leopard tank, hit by a missile strike. Drone footage captures the devastating moment as the missile strikes the Ukrainian tank, followed by the collapse of a nearby shelter. The attack also involved suicide drones targeting deep trenches and dugout shelters. Despite heavy casualties on both sides, Russian troops have made substantial progress, intensifying the threat to the already vulnerable Pokrovsk. The city remains a crucial supply hub for Ukrainian defenses but is increasingly under pressure from Russian advances.
