The war in Ukraine has impeded the ability of Russia and the U.S. to find areas of agreement on other topics.

We think it would be good for Russia if that war came to an end.

The U.S. remains open and willing to play a constructive role in bringing that war to an end.

We and Russia are the two largest nuclear-armed countries on the planet.

For us not to talk would be reckless and irresponsible.

We have to have a relationship with the Russian government.

The request comes after Pakistan helped mediate talks related to the Iran conflict, with Islamabad hoping its diplomatic role will translate into stronger economic ties with Washington.

If approved, the rare U.S. financial backstop would ease Pakistan's liquidity pressures, though the Treasury has not commented and no decision has been announced.

The share of MAGA voters who think the war is worth the economic cost fell from 50% in May to 37% in July, while more now say the U.S. should only stay involved if costs don't rise further, or end the war altogether.

Rising gas prices, U.S. military casualties, and concerns about the economy appear to be driving the decline.

Kyiv frames the sites as logistics chains supplying sanctioned components for Russian drone production.

Moscow and Wildberries call them ordinary commercial facilities with civilian workers.

Around 8 killed and dozens injured across the first wave alone, plus more casualties in the southern strikes.

Kim, the CEO, called it a "terrible night" and announced payouts to families of the dead.

Sellers on the platform are panicking about inventory losses, especially since Wildberries updated its terms in early July to treat drone strikes as force majeure — excluding liability for lost goods.

Targeted sites:

1- Elektrostal, Moscow region Size: ~188,000 m²

2- Kotovsk, Tambov region Size: ~108,000 m²

3- Krasnodar, Krasnodar Krai region Size: ~150,000 m²

4- Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai region Size: ~120,000 m²

Total area: ~566,000 m² (Equivalent to around 79 football pitches).

Analysts say losses "could reach hundreds of billions of rubles."

Western outlets estimate £1–1.5 billion+ so far.

The FPS-117 is a Lockheed Martin long-range 3D air-surveillance radar (~470 km range) operated by Kuwait but integrated into U.S. and coalition air-defence networks.

Ahmed Al-Jaber is a major Kuwaiti base that has long hosted U.S. and coalition aircraft.

The system will combine Barak MX, David's Sling, and SPYDER air defense systems with Greece's F-35s, F-16 Vipers, Belharra frigates, and Patriot batteries into a single command network capable of countering aircraft, ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles, marking one of Greece's largest military modernization efforts in decades.

The future and the story of the 21st century will be written in this region and by how events unfold here.

The security and prosperity of the United States and Southeast Asia will always depend on each other.

We will stand by Ukraine united and in solidarity for as long as it takes. We see it with clear eyes: Russia is an existential threat for our countries in Europe.

We are already faced with Russia's hybrid actions, and therefore determined to increase our defense readiness.

I ask you to join our calls to Russia to stop the killing in Ukraine and engage in talks genuinely to reach a ceasefire and then just and lasting peace.

Launched from the TCG Sakarya submarine, the torpedo scored a direct hit on the target ship M/G Sokullu Mehmet Paşa, completely destroying it.

AKYA — produced by ROKETSAN — is a next-generation heavy-class torpedo with active/passive sonar homing, fiber-optic wire guidance for real-time control, and wake-homing against surface targets.

It can engage both submarines and surface vessels, has entered serial production, and is replacing older foreign torpedoes in the Turkish Navy's inventory.

Settler violence has reached extreme levels, attacks on homes, farmlands, people carried out in broad daylight with almost no consequences.

We recorded in 2025 more than 13,000 settler violence attacks in one year, which means some villages in the West Bank may face two attacks from settlers in broad daylight in a single day.

Our government is confronting a deliberate policy of financial restrictions.

Israel continues to withhold Palestinian clearance revenues, funds that legally belong to our people, undermining our ability to pay salaries, sustain services, and maintain our institutions.

For the last 14 months, we have received nothing from our clearance revenues, and our civil employees have been paid in half for the last five years. Despite these pressures, our government continues to function and deliver.

The cable urges diplomats to promote U.S. AI as the most reliable option and discourage countries from pursuing independent "sovereign AI" systems, though European officials remain skeptical that U.S. tech access couldn't be restricted again.
