Ukrainian air defense forces intercepted a significant number of incoming targets, aided by recently delivered missile supplies.

Russia is watching closely and with visible satisfaction as Donald Trump’s renewed pressure over Greenland sends shockwaves through NATO and the European Union. Across Kremlin-aligned television networks and political commentary shows, Trump’s Greenland posture is being framed not as a diplomatic dispute, but as a strategic stress test exposing NATO’s internal fractures. Russian state media has seized on the growing EU-U.S. standoff, portraying Washington’s demands and tariff threats as evidence of a weakening transatlantic alliance.
