Tensions escalated near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed hearing explosions and spotting rising smoke from a nearby auxiliary facility under reported shelling and drone attack. The plant, Europe’s largest and among the top 10 globally, has been under Russian control since March 2022. The blasts began around 9 a.m. and continued through the afternoon, just 1,200 meters from the main plant.
IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that any military activity near nuclear facilities poses a severe threat to global nuclear safety. Meanwhile, new Greenpeace satellite imagery reveals Russia’s attempt to integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant into its energy grid, laying over 80 km of high-voltage power lines from occupied Mariupol and Berdyansk. This incident adds to growing concerns over the militarization and misuse of critical nuclear infrastructure in the ongoing Ukraine war.

Russian forces have reportedly captured an intact Ukrainian ‘Leleka’ drone in Zaporizhzhya after forcing it to land with electronic warfare systems. The drone, a critical part of Ukraine’s UAV and electronic warfare arsenal, may now be dissected by Russia to gain strategic advantages. Meanwhile, Ukraine accuses Moscow of abducting children from occupied territories, indoctrinating them, and forcing them to fight against their homeland. As tensions escalate, the U.S. slammed China at the UN for allegedly aiding Russia, sparking another diplomatic clash. Peace remains distant as the war grinds on.

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive two‑day escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central Asia–Center gas pipeline in Volgograd—vital for Russia’s military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across borders—bringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a “complete betrayal” of American taxpayers. Referring to Trump’s 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democrats—and some neocon Republicans—of pushing an “America LAST” agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently.
Greene even called Israel’s Gaza offensive a “genocide,” highlighting deep fractures within Trump’s GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trump’s support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust.

As Trump threatens a steep tariff hike on Indian goods over its oil trade with Russia, India's NSA Ajit Doval arrives in Moscow for urgent talks. His visit underscores India’s resolve to deepen strategic ties with Russia amid rising U.S. pressure. Doval is set to discuss defence cooperation, sanctions, and energy security, preparing the ground for a key Modi-Putin summit. India, defending its energy policy as national interest-based, aims to counter Trump’s accusations of “fueling the Russian war machine.”

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike.
Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm?
