Ukraine War:
The conflict remains a major focus. Kyiv experienced a significant overnight attack by Russia, resulting in casualties and widespread damage. There are ongoing discussions and stalled peace negotiations, with President Trump even urging Russia's Putin to "STOP" the attacks on Kyiv. Concerns about the use of North Korean ballistic missiles by Russia in these attacks have also emerged.
Gaza Conflict:
Israeli military actions in Gaza continue, with recent strikes causing numerous Palestinian casualties. The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, exacerbated by restricted imports, is drawing strong international criticism, with France, Germany, and Britain describing Israel's blockade as "intolerable."
