Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage as US–Ukraine peace talks enter third day
KYIV — Russia launched a large-scale overnight aerial assault across Ukraine as U.S.–Ukraine talks in Florida entered their third day, striking critical infrastructure and intensifying pressure on Kyiv amid stalled diplomatic efforts. Ukrainian authorities said Russia fired 653 drones and 51 missiles, the vast majority of which were intercepted. One strike hit a major railway hub in Fastiv, southwest of Kyiv, destroying the main station building and damaging several locomotives. President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack “meaningless from a military point of view,” saying Russia was fully aware the strikes would have no strategic effect. The bombardment comes as U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators push Moscow to demonstrate a “serious commitment to long-term peace” following a...

German lawmakers approve plan to attract more military recruits as Europe seeks to counter Russia
BERLIN — Germany’s Bundestag voted for a bill on Friday that allows the country to move towards conscription, as tensions with Russia spur calls for Europe to gain more independence from the US security umbrella.The controversial bill passed with a relatively solid majority in the end, with 323 lawmakers voting yes, 272 voting no and one abstaining.The move seeks to boost the numbers in Germany’s armed forces to approximately 260,000 soldiers, up from the current 180,000, in addition to an extra 200,000 reservists, by 2035.The bill does not provide for mandatory conscription. Instead, it incentivizes voluntary enlistment through measures like a monthly starting salary of €2,600 ($3,000) – an increase of €450 from the current level.However, if the new quotas still aren’t...

Kenya signs landmark health deal with US despite data fears
NAIROBI — Kenya has signed a historic five-year health agreement with the US, the first such pact since Donald Trump's administration overhauled its foreign aid program.The $2.5bn (£1.9bn) deal is aimed at combating infectious diseases in Kenya, with similar agreements expected to be rolled out in other African countries aligned with Trump's broader foreign policy goals.The government-to-government deal aims to boost transparency and accountability but has raised fears it could give the US real-time access to critical health databases, including sensitive patient information.Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale sought to allay such fears, saying "only de-identified, aggregated data" would be shared.On his first day in office in January, Trump announced a freeze on foreign...
