Trump Says Ukraine, Russia Agree to Pause Energy Strikes; Zelenskyy Questions Formal Deal

President Trump claimed Kyiv and Moscow agreed to pause strikes on energy targets to ease rising fuel prices tied to the Ukraine and Iran wars, though Zelenskyy says no formal deal has been confirmed. Experts note that Iran-related tensions and the Strait of Hormuz have driven energy shocks more than the Ukraine conflict, while Kyiv signals willingness to halt energy strikes if a real pause with Russia is secured. The remarks surface as fuel costs become a political issue ahead of elections.

Sikorski: NATO Could Defeat Russia Quickly If Moscow Attacked Europe

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told AFP that NATO would defeat Russia quickly if Moscow attacked, citing Europe’s air power superiority (about 2,500 aircraft) and the ability to target Russia’s refining capacity, potentially halving it in six weeks. He argued NATO could prevail even without the US and urged deterring Putin with costly consequences, noting Baltic and Nordic budgets exceed Russia’s. The comments came at the Kyiv-based Yalta European Strategy forum amid heightened security near Poland after Russian strikes on Ukraine.

Jet-powered Geran drones shift Russia’s air war

Russia’s jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones, derived from Iran’s Shahed design, fly faster and farther with AI-guided targeting and anti-jamming tech. Centralized mass production enables rapid field deployment and lower costs than missiles, allowing strikes on warehouses, ports and oil facilities. Ukraine intercepts of these jets are around 60%, lower than for older models, pressuring Kyiv to bolster air defenses and adopt counter-drone measures. If Moscow sustains production and access to foreign propulsion tech, it could become a leading low-cost cruise-missile producer, potentially tilting the air war in Russia’s favor.
