French President Emmanuel Macron may soon take a leading role in representing the EU’s interests in potential talks with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, according to a report by The Telegraph. While UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out engagement, Macron is reportedly open to negotiation “when the time is right.” With Washington’s efforts ongoing and Trump hesitant, Europe’s "coalition of the willing" is eyeing Paris to spearhead talks. Moscow has denied receiving formal proposals. Tensions remain high as ceasefire violations continue and fears of NATO escalation grow.

French PM Francois Bayrou has called out Donald Trump for interfering in France’s domestic affairs after the former US president urged Paris to “free” Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, convicted for misusing EU funds, was sentenced to four years in prison and banned from office. Trump labeled her a victim of political persecution. Bayrou warned of rising “illiberal” forces undermining democracy worldwide. As tensions rise, Trump’s remarks have sparked diplomatic unease ahead of France’s 2027 presidential race and fueled debates over foreign influence in sovereign judicial decisions.

Thousands marched in Rome to protest the EU’s proposed €800 billion military rearmament plan, led by Italy’s Five Star Movement and its leader, former PM Giuseppe Conte. Protesters condemned cuts to healthcare, education, and labor in favor of militarization. Conte declared the protest as the birth of an alternative Italy that rejects defense overspending. Videos from the scene show crowds chanting and waving banners like “No to rearmament.” Italian PM Giorgia Meloni supports the EU’s ReArm plan, but faces internal coalition friction. The protest signals growing dissent across Europe.

US President Donald Trump has pledged unwavering commitment to his aggressive tariff strategy, calling it a chance to “get rich.” Despite a massive stock market crash and mounting global backlash, Trump insisted tariffs are essential to protect American jobs. China, Canada, and the EU have responded with retaliatory duties, sparking fears of a global trade war. The WTO warns of economic contraction, while the US Fed sees inflation risks rising. Still, Trump’s administration denies any harm to American businesses, claiming domestic growth will offset global tensions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev claims “significant progress” in achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine following a US-brokered energy truce. Speaking in Washington, Dmitriev credited Trump’s role in leading talks that halted strikes on energy infrastructure. The truce, however, remains fragile as both Russia and Ukraine trade blame for violations. Despite challenges, the energy ceasefire is viewed as a crucial first step toward broader de-escalation. Dmitriev also indicated signs of warming US-Russia relations, noting positive developments during his recent meetings with US counterparts.

Russia Justified Deadly Krivoy Rog Strike - Western Commanders Were Targeted, Not Innocent Civilians
Russia has confirmed responsibility for a devastating missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog, claiming it was a direct hit on a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and Western military advisors. The Russian Defense Ministry insists the strike was a “precision operation,” denying Ukrainian reports that civilians — including children — were killed.
As the West accuses Moscow of targeting residential areas in Krivoy Rog Strike, the Kremlin fires back, saying it eliminated high-value military targets. Who's telling the truth? Is this a turning point in the war, or just the beginning of more brutal escalations?
Watch the full breakdown of Russia’s reaction, Ukraine’s outrage, and the rising stakes in this deadly conflict.

World War III Soon? Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has sounded the alarm, accusing Brussels of secretly preparing for war while hiding behind a "failed pro-war policy." His remarks come after the European Commission advised citizens to stockpile essential supplies for at least 72 hours, fueling fears of an impending crisis. Szijjártó ridiculed the advisory, calling it absurd and questioning why, in the 21st century, Europeans should be bracing for survival scenarios. He warned that the EU's obsession with military escalation is dragging the continent closer to disaster, even as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for a ceasefire and diplomatic resolution.
