Putin publicly praised Hamas for what he called a “humanitarian act” after the release of Israeli-Russian captives. Speaking directly to freed hostages at the Kremlin, Putin thanked Hamas’ political wing, crediting long-standing Russian-Palestinian ties for the release. The remarks have sparked global outrage and are expected to anger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Hamas. The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Gaza war and Israel’s military actions.

Top Ukrainian officials made a surprise trip to Paris, pushing the U.S. for a tougher stance on Russia after failed ceasefire efforts. Their visit comes as Donald Trump's envoys, including Marco Rubio, meet with European leaders. With Ukraine accusing Trump of appeasing Moscow, tensions have reached a new peak. France, Germany, and the UK are pressing for action after deadly attacks on civilians in Sumy. Trump, frustrated by both sides, blamed Zelenskyy for provoking the war—raising alarms across Europe. A new security framework may be on the table, but peace remains distant.

Harvard University faces major backlash from the Trump administration over its handling of foreign students and campus protests. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warns that Harvard could lose the ability to enroll international students and face a $2.7M grant cut unless it complies with information requests. Trump has escalated pressure, threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status and freeze billions in funding. Harvard calls the actions unconstitutional. Meanwhile, rights groups sound alarms over free speech, Islamophobia, and academic freedom as political tensions rise on campuses nationwide.

A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s inner circle over Russia’s intentions in the Ukraine war. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Keith Kellogg urge caution, Trump leans toward aide Steve Witkoff, who believes Moscow seeks peace. Witkoff’s meetings with Putin, including a recent 5-hour session, intensified the divide. Meanwhile, a deadly missile strike in Sumy triggered further controversy, with Trump calling it a "mistake" while others condemned it. Russia blames Ukraine for escalation and misinformation. As trust wanes, US foreign policy appears sharply divided.

Russia has dismissed Ukraine’s accusations over the deadly Sumy missile strike as part of a broader Western “infodemic.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed the narrative was built on lies, dramatizations, and surrealism posing as reality. She accused Western media of orchestrating falsehoods to demonize Russia amid ongoing drone warfare and escalating tensions. Moscow insists Ukraine is manipulating facts to fuel anti-Russia sentiment.

U.S. President Donald Trump has officially extended sanctions against Russia, originally imposed by former President Joe Biden in April 2021. The decision, announced via the U.S. Federal Register on April 10, reaffirms the national emergency over Russia's cyber operations, election interference, and continued threats to international peace. Despite White House calls for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, no major new sanctions have been introduced—yet. However, sources suggest that if a ceasefire isn't reached by the end of April, the Trump administration may escalate punitive measures. The Kremlin has denounced the sanctions as politically motivated, while Washington insists Russia’s actions continue to pose a serious national security threat.

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.

President Trump’s advisers are pushing back against a new call with Vladimir Putin unless Russia agrees to a full Ukraine ceasefire. Trump insists a truce is close, citing readiness from both sides to negotiate. However, Putin seeks U.S. monitoring guarantees and Ukrainian de-escalation. Meanwhile, Moscow warns of misinformation surrounding contact plans. Diplomatic progress appears slow but ongoing, especially after a Kremlin adviser’s recent visit to Washington. A third Trump-Putin call is anticipated, but internal U.S. dissent could delay engagement.
