‘A life-or-death race’: the volunteers protecting Kyiv’s skies from new jet-powered drones

Volunteer air defense units around Kyiv are struggling to counter Russia's new, faster jet-powered drones that fly at higher altitudes and speeds, making them difficult to intercept with existing weaponry. These drones, capable of reaching approximately 600 km/h and altitudes up to 10 km, have reduced Ukraine's interception rate to 50-60%, posing a significant challenge to the capital's air defense network as Russia intensifies its air campaign.

Former US official says Israeli demands made Gaza deal 'impossible for another six months'

Phil Gordon, who served as national security adviser to former US Vice President Kamala Harris from March 2022 to January 2025, made the allegations in a post on X on Saturday.

Britain stands behind Zelenskyy, says Streeting after Trump’s call for new leader in Ukraine

British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting stated Britain stands with President Zelenskyy and that Ukrainians alone should decide their leader, following Donald Trump's call for Zelenskyy's replacement and a US agreement to buy Russian diesel. Trump's comments and the diesel deal are seen as politically motivated by rising fuel prices ahead of US midterm elections, with analysts warning the deal could fund Russia's war effort.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has linked national security and the ongoing war in Gaza to his re-election campaign, warning of attacks and highlighting his role in combating threats. Analysts suggest this framing, coupled with far-right rhetoric advocating for aggressive action in Gaza and the West Bank, is shaping Israel's upcoming election by shifting mainstream political discourse towards more extreme positions on Palestinians.
