A war of words has erupted between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev after the former Russian president issued a veiled threat warning Trump against issuing ultimatums to Moscow. Medvedev, in a social media post, said each ultimatum brings the world closer to war—"not between Russia and Ukraine, but with your own country." Trump responded with fury, calling Medvedev a "failed former President" and warning him to "watch his words" or face consequences. The U.S. President also slammed India over trade tariffs, saying their economy and Russia’s were “dead” and would “sink together.” Trump had recently warned Russia of new sanctions if it didn’t agree to a ceasefire within 12 days. The Kremlin said it had “taken note” of Trump’s latest demands. With tensions mounting, the episode highlights rising geopolitical friction and personal animosity at the top levels of power.

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?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications.
Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term.

India and the UAE are set to deepen defence cooperation, focusing on maritime security through information sharing and joint manufacturing. A MoU was signed.. IndiaTimes
After months of silence and worsening famine, Jordan and the UAE have conducted the first Arab airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As mass starvation grips the enclave, with over 120 deaths from malnutrition—including dozens of children—this airdrop may signal a shift. But with ongoing blockades and a severely restricted flow of supplies, is it too little, too late?
We break down what was delivered, why the crisis escalated, and whether international pressure is finally moving the needle.

In a bold humanitarian gesture, the United Arab Emirates has dispatched its largest-ever aid vessel to Gaza, carrying a massive 7,000 tonnes of essential food, medical, and shelter supplies. This mission, named Chivalrous Knight 3, marks a significant escalation in the UAE’s relief efforts amid Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
The ship set sail toward Egypt’s El Arish Port and will route supplies through the Rafah crossing into Gaza. Emirati officials described the mission as a "gift to our people in Gaza," reinforcing their continued commitment to Palestinian civilians. The aid comes amid global scrutiny over the blockade and suffering in Gaza, and highlights growing regional involvement in humanitarian diplomacy. This massive maritime effort signals both urgency and scale—providing life-saving materials to a population in dire need.

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes.
The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike.
In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East.
