🌍 UKRAINE'S ALLIES MEET IN PARIS AMID UNCERTAINTY OVER U.S. BACKING

World leaders gathered in Paris today in a high-stakes meeting to discuss Ukraine’s future security, as the war with Russia drags on with no immediate end in sight. The summit, which brought together around 30 Western leaders and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aimed to outline a framework for long-term guarantees once hostilities eventually cease.

European nations have expressed strong willingness to form what President Emmanuel Macron described as a “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine militarily and economically in the postwar era. Discussions included commitments to strengthen defense cooperation, boost military aid, and consider possible international deployments to secure Ukraine’s borders and infrastructure.

However, the absence of a firm U.S. position has raised concerns among participants. While Washington has been Ukraine’s most significant military backer since the start of the war, current political uncertainty in the U.S. has made long-term commitments less clear. For many European leaders, this uncertainty underscores the need for Europe to take on a stronger leadership role in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security.

The meeting also highlighted divisions within the Western bloc. Some nations pushed for stronger commitments, while others expressed caution over the risks of deeper entanglement. Yet, the overarching sentiment remains that Ukraine’s survival and sovereignty are tied to Europe’s own stability.

As Russia intensifies its strikes and Ukraine continues counter-offensive operations, the stakes of these discussions could not be higher. For Kyiv, securing binding international guarantees is not just a matter of military aid but a question of survival in a conflict that has reshaped the global order.

POLITICAL STORM IN MADAGASCAR: PRESIDENT RAJOELINA DISSOLVES PARLIAMENT AMID RISING MILITARY TENSIONS

ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR – OCTOBER 14, 2025. Madagascar has been plunged into deep political and military turmoil as President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the lower house of parliament following a series of dramatic events that have shaken the island nation. The move comes amid mounting protests, divisions within the armed forces, and reports that the President fled the country fearing for his life. The latest developments began when tensions escalated between Rajoelina’s government and sections of the military aligned with opposition figures. According to local sources, the elite military unit known as CAPSAT (Personnel and Administrative Services Corps of the Army) defected from government control and sided with anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Antananarivo. These soldiers reportedly occupied strategic locations, declaring that they were intervening to “restore order and democracy.” Facing growing unrest and loss of control over key state institutio...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
