BRAZIL’S Bold Gamble: Global Power Play Ignites Trade WAR Fears
— Brazil is grabbing the world’s attention as it gets ready to host the BRICS summit in July 2025.

UKRAINE HITS Hard: Oil Facilities in Russia Under Attack, Border Tensions Stir Kremlin
— Ukrainian long-range drones targeted two oil facilities in Russia on Tuesday. This bold move showcases Ukraine’s evolving technological capabilities. The attack comes as the conflict enters its third year and just days before Russia’s presidential election. It spanned eight regions of Russia, challenging President Vladimir Putin’s assertion that life in Russia is unaffected by the war.
Russian officials reported a border incursion by Ukraine-based opponents of the Kremlin, triggering anxiety in a border region. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that 234 fighters were killed while repelling the incursion. They blamed this attack on what they call the “Kyiv regime” and “Ukraine’s terrorist formations,” stating seven tanks and five armored vehicles were lost by the attackers.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports of border skirmishes were unclear due to conflicting accounts from both sides. Soldiers claiming to be Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine said they had crossed into Russian territory. These groups released statements and videos on social media expressing their hope for “a Russia free from Putin’s dictatorship.” However, these claims have not been independently verified.
