NATO to bolster Baltic military presence, after Christmas Day power cable cuts
NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte pledged to send drones, frigates and aircraft to the region as he highlighted a concerted campaign of 'cyber-attacks, assassination attempts and sabotage.'
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent remarks against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts. The tension arose after Zelensky publicly condemned Scholz for his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to supply Ukraine with advanced weaponry, such as Taurus cruise missiles. Rutte's statement reflects growing concern over the impact of internal disagreements on European unity and NATO’s collective strategy. Watch now to see Rutte’s strong rebuke of Zelensky’s actions.

Putin emphasized that the missile, capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 10, represents a significant leap in missile technology, showcasing Russia’s advancement in hypersonic warfare. The missile's deployment has raised alarms globally, as it is touted as virtually impossible to intercept by even the most advanced Western air defense systems. Putin’s remarks underscore Russia’s growing military might and serve as a stark warning to the West about the evolving balance of power in global defense.

In a bold and alarming statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised global concerns about escalating tensions, warning against the potential onset of World War III. In a recent interview, Putin addressed the growing involvement of the U.S. and NATO in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which he described as intensifying the risks of global war. Dismissing claims that the war has already escalated into World War III, Putin stressed the importance of not frightening the public but acknowledged the increasing dangers. He blamed the West for fueling the crisis and warned that Russia would always respond to any challenges. At the same time, Putin signaled a potential openness to rebuilding ties with the U.S. and NATO, but only on terms that do not compromise Russia’s security and interests. This chilling message serves as a stark reminder of the fragile balance in international relations as the world watches the ongoing geo-political standoff.
