In a major overnight assault on May 15ā16, Russia launched 112 dronesāincluding Shahed modelsāat Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraineās air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

President Trump said Friday that he's moving to set up direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as he can, after Putin opted to skip peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. "I think it's time for us to just do it," Mr. Trump told reporters as he wrapped a four-day visit to the Middle East. Later, he told reporters on Air Force One, setting off on the journey back to Washington, that he might call Putin soon. "He and I will meet, and I think we'll solve it or maybe not," Mr. Trump said. "At least we'll know. And if we don't solve it, it'll be very interesting."

NATO faces a deepening crisis as a major corruption probe targets its support and procurement agency. Coordinated raids across six countries, including the U.S., led to multiple arrests over allegations of bribery, money laundering, and misuse of classified data in defense contracts. Belgian authorities confirmed drone and ammunition deals are under scrutiny. NATO says it is cooperating fully. Secretary General Mark Rutte vowed to āclean houseā as the scandal threatens procurement efforts amid urgent calls to arm Ukraine.
