Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko have arrived in Volgograd—formerly known as Stalingrad—for a high-profile World War II commemoration. But is this just a symbolic tribute to Soviet history, or something more? The two leaders are expected to address a joint Russian-Belarusian parliamentary forum on wartime legacy, but their private meeting is sparking speculation about deeper military and strategic coordination. With Belarus now formally aligned with nuclear-armed Russia through a 2024 defense pact, and tensions with the West rising, many are questioning the true purpose behind this visit. Watch the full video to explore what’s really going on.

The Government of India and Indian Armed Forces have officially released a detailed account of Operation Sindoor, India’s high-precision retaliatory strike on terror infrastructure inside Pakistan. The operation, executed overnight on May 6–7, targeted 9 terror camps and several military installations in under 23 minutes, with zero Indian casualties. The Indian Air Force (IAF) showcased its technological edge by successfully jamming and bypassing Chinese-made air defense systems deployed by Pakistan. The use of indigenous systems like BrahMos, Akash missiles, S-400s, and long-range drones played a crucial role in neutralizing enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy. India’s air defense systems, in stark contrast to Pakistan’s, operated at nearly 100% efficiency, intercepting hostile drones and missiles with precision. Operation Sindoor marks a defining moment in India’s counter-terror strategy and defense self-reliance.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.
