France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

India is set to participate in the UN high-level conference addressing the Palestine question and the two-state solution, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia... IndiaTimes
In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that critical Russia-Ukraine peace talks are set for Wednesday in Turkey. As the war drags on and battlefield realities shift, questions loom large over what Zelensky might concede—and what Moscow might demand. With Ukraine's military under relentless assault and Russian forces pushing deeper, the stakes for this diplomatic meeting couldn't be higher. The world watches anxiously: Will this be a real step toward peace or just another failed negotiation? All eyes now turn to Ankara as Western allies grow restless, humanitarian crises deepen, and Ukraine faces increasing pressure to admit the truth about the shifting balance on the ground.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly unfazed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s growing pressure to reach a swift resolution in Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, Putin remains "immune" to Trump’s urgency and insists that peace talks must first address what he calls the “root causes” of the conflict.
These include NATO’s eastward expansion, Western military aid to Ukraine, and alleged discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens. The report says Putin conveyed this stance directly during recent calls with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Despite Western efforts to halt the war, Putin blames the conflict on long-standing U.S. and EU policies that transformed Ukraine into an anti-Russia stronghold. As U.S. military aid continues to flow into Ukraine, Moscow warns the conflict will only escalate unless core Russian concerns are recognized and resolved.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

A bombshell intelligence report from Dutch and German agencies claims that Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine. According to the MIVD, AIVD, and Germany’s BND, Russia has deployed chloropicrin, a potentially lethal agent banned under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), signaling a dramatic escalation in battlefield tactics. The agencies warn that chemical warfare has become “standard practice” for Russian troops, with even non-lethal agents like tear gas being used to set the stage for more deadly substances. Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans called the trend a “slippery slope” that poses a global threat. NATO allies fear this normalization could break longstanding international norms. Intelligence points to deepening Russian investment in chemical warfare capabilities and coordination by military leadership. With Russia still a CWC signatory, the revelations have sparked diplomatic outrage. The situation threatens to transform the conflict’s nature and legal framework entirely.

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 stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers.
With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front.

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets.
Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure.

A horrifying Russian drone attack hit Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odesa early Saturday, igniting a towering apartment block, killing one resident and injuring six, including a child. The aerial assault, part of a broader overnight onslaught, saw over 300 drones and 30 missiles launched across 10 Ukrainian regions.
Ukrainian President Zelensky described the assault as relentless and pleaded for urgent air defense support, as power outages and fires spread. The Odesa mayor confirmed over 20 drones targeted the city, setting homes ablaze and sending families fleeing. As the world watches, former U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against Russia, warning of harsher sanctions. With thousands already dead in the war, the latest strike highlights Ukraine’s desperation for international aid and a ramp-up in domestic defense production. Dramatic images show parents rescuing children wrapped in blankets—Ukraine burns while the world debates.
