Australia 'should be prepared to contribute' to securing Ukraine's freedom, former PM says
Tuesday, 18 February 2025 A former Australian prime minister has said his country should be "prepared to make a contribution" to protect the freedom of Ukraine.
Former President Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia: agree to a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face sweeping new sanctions. He hinted at harsh secondary sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia’s already struggling economy. Despite the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov mocked the move, claiming Moscow isn’t worried. Analysts say sanctions could slash Russia’s GDP by another 3–5% annually and hit energy exports hard. As the U.S. raises pressure, the question remains—will Putin yield, or is Trump making empty threats?

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties.

Russia has unveiled the ‘Posokh,’ a portable, ytterbium-based laser air defense system capable of disabling Ukrainian drones within a 2 km range using invisible laser beams. The announcement follows successful tests and comes as Russia escalates airstrikes on Ukraine. On July 28, a drone and missile barrage hit Kyiv, injuring eight civilians, including a child. The Darnytskyi district was among the hardest hit. With 324 drones launched overnight, Ukraine’s air defenses are under mounting pressure amid ongoing conflict.

In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved major airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen while flying to the United States aboard the “Wing of Zion” aircraft. According to the PM’s office, Netanyahu received critical operational updates and gave the final go-ahead for "Operation Black Flag" while en route to Washington for a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump. The operation was launched in response to continuous missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted key Houthi infrastructure, ports in Hudaydah, and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis in 2023. The coordinated attack is being described as a major blow to the Houthi rebels. The Houthis have responded swiftly and fiercely. While their media outlets confirmed the Israeli strikes, they retaliated by launching a massive wave of missiles towards Israel, triggering air defense systems across the country. In a claim that has created serious panic, RT News reported that at least one of the Houthi missiles successfully hit its target inside Israel.
This sudden escalation opens a dangerous new front in the Middle East, coming only weeks after a fragile ceasefire was established between Israel and Iran. With Israel now engaged in a direct, full-blown conflict with the Houthis in Yemen, the entire region is on high alert for what happens next.
