Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

A German military helicopter operated by the Bundeswehr has crashed into a river in a shocking incident that has triggered a large-scale emergency response. The crash reportedly occurred during a training mission, and one pilot remains missing as rescue teams scour the area. Authorities have yet to confirm the cause of the crash, and an investigation is underway. The incident has raised serious concerns about flight safety and operational protocols within Germany’s armed forces.

On July 27, a passenger train derailed near the town of Riedlingen in south-western Germany, leaving three people dead and at least 41 injured. Authorities believe heavy rainfall caused a sewage shaft to overflow, triggering a landslide that led to the crash. Among the victims were the train’s driver and a staff member. With around 100 passengers on board and severe storms sweeping the region, questions are now being raised: Was this a natural disaster—or a preventable failure of infrastructure?

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.

Kyiv is reeling after another brutal missile and drone strike hit the Shevchenkivskyi district, targeting a nine-story residential building and causing it to collapse.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemns the ruthless strike, calling for international justice and urgent support. Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump’s hard deadline of August 8 approaches, threatening severe sanctions on Russia if peace talks fail.

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?
