Nicuşor Dan won Romania’s presidency with 54% of the vote, defeating ultranationalist rival George Simion in a runoff that followed the annulment of last year’s results over foreign interference concerns. Simion initially refused to concede, denouncing the rerun as a “coup,” but later congratulated Dan while vowing political resistance Dan’s win was celebrated by EU leaders as a win for pro-European democracy, with leaders including Macron, Von der Leyen, and Zelensky welcoming his election, calling it a signal of Romania’s firm commitment to NATO, the EU, and democratic values in a region vulnerable to Russian influence.

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

Vladimir Putin will not attend the high-stakes Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul. Instead, Kremlin aide and nationalist figure Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian delegation, reigniting debate over Russia's negotiation sincerity. Medinsky, known for his controversial historical views, previously led failed 2022 talks with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky insists only Putin’s presence signals real intent. He refuses to meet lower-tier officials. Meanwhile, Trump is also expected to skip the event. The absence of top leaders adds doubt over whether Istanbul's negotiations will yield any breakthrough in the ongoing war.

As Trump pledges 10 Patriot missiles to Kyiv, the EU is preparing a massive €100 billion support plan for Ukraine, potentially the largest in the war. Framed as the final phase against Putin’s forces, the package—slated to begin in 2028—would blend grants and soft loans tied to reforms. Proposed under the EU’s next seven-year budget, it signals long-term Western backing. Moscow decries the move as NATO-driven escalation, warning it exposes the EU’s dependency on U.S. strategy.

Donald Trump's firm stance on Washington's NFL team name is receiving high praise from one prestigious Native American organization, which told TMZ Sports this.. TMZ.com
In a scathing joint statement, 100 prominent Muslim scholars from over 25 countries declared Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as “enemies waging war against God.” The scholars accused the two leaders of bloodshed, corruption, and crimes against humanity, condemning U.S.-Israeli policies on Palestine. The declaration brands Israel a “cancerous entity” and forbids normalization. Citing attacks on Muslim groups and the Jerusalem embassy move, the statement calls for global Muslim unity and unwavering resistance until Palestine is fully liberated.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare.
This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase? Will Ukraine’s allies respond fast enough?
