Russia-Ukraine War: Zelensky Offers $24,000 to Young Recruits—Desperation or Strategic Efforts?
Ukraine is ramping up its recruitment efforts, offering young men aged 18-24 a hefty $24,000 incentive to enlist, along with free dental care and the option to leave the country after service.
As the Russia-Ukraine war drags on, Western allies are pushing Kiev to bolster its aging forces.
Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia seek a diplomatic breakthrough, with Moscow warning Kiev over ceasefire violations.
Is Ukraine’s recruitment drive a sign of desperation, or a necessary move to sustain the fight?

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.

A Ukrainian drone assault on Russia’s Kursk killed an 85-year-old woman and injured nine others, triggering fires across apartment complexes and damaging infrastructure, including 11 ambulances. Over 20 explosions were reported as the overnight raid shook the border city, prompting evacuations. The attack follows Russia’s deadly strike on Sumy, Ukraine, and highlights escalating cross-border warfare. While both Kyiv and Moscow deny targeting civilians, the ongoing conflict has increasingly impacted residential zones. Ukrainian forces reportedly remain in parts of the Kursk region, despite Russian efforts to reclaim territory.

Confusion brews as CNN Turk reports that Russia and Ukraine will hold direct Black Sea security talks in Ankara. While Turkish sources confirm the meetings, Ukraine flatly denies any planned negotiations. This follows U.S.-Russia discussions in Riyadh aimed at reviving the Black Sea Grain Initiative. With the West divided on lifting sanctions, and Moscow demanding "justice," questions loom over whether diplomacy can prevail. Meanwhile, President Zelensky rejects maritime truces, calling them a weakening of Kyiv's stance. Will Ankara host a breakthrough or just more geopolitical drama?

26-year-old pilot Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed in the mission, making this the second confirmed F-16 loss in the Ukraine war. However, a major question remains: Who shot it down — Russia or Ukraine itself?
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded a full military report into the incident, as speculation grows over whether this was enemy fire or another deadly case of friendly fire. Russian military blogs claim the jet was downed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), but Kyiv has not confirmed the cause.
With rising tensions, high-risk air missions, and increasing losses, the F-16 saga raises urgent questions about Ukraine's air defense coordination and battlefield clarity.

Former President Donald Trump has officially ordered urgent tariff negotiations with India, Japan, and South Korea — a bold move signaling a massive shift in U.S. economic strategy. Acting South Korean President Han Duck-soo confirmed the directive following a direct call with Trump. With U.S. tariffs paused and strategic talks kicking off, the Indo-Pacific economic balance is on edge. Will this be the start of a new trade war or the formation of a stronger alliance against China’s growing influence?

As global stock markets reel from a historic downturn—fueled by U.S. tariffs and heightened recession fears—Saudi Arabia stands out as an unexpected outlier. On Monday, the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) climbed 0.67%, closing at 11,191.20, up from 11,077.19 a day earlier. The gain comes despite a worldwide stock sell-off triggered by economic uncertainty. The positive momentum in Saudi markets is being linked to Saudi Aramco’s strategic decision to slash oil prices by $2.30 per barrel, boosting investor confidence and projecting increased global demand for Saudi crude.

U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence. Former President Trump recently extended U.S. sanctions, citing national security concerns, while hinting at potential relief tied to the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
