Ukraine Marks Somber Anniversary as Zelenskyy Vows Resolve Amid Fractured Allied Support

Ukrainians pay tribute to victims of the Russian invasion, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. As Ukraine enters another year of full‑scale war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the anniversary to deliver a message of defiance and endurance. Speaking to the nation, he emphasized that Ukraine’s determination to resist Russia has not weakened, even as the conflict grinds on with no clear end in sight. Zelenskyy highlighted the sacrifices made by civilians and soldiers alike, framing Ukraine’s struggle as a fight for national survival and democratic values. His remarks came at a moment when international unity — once a defining feature of the early months of the invasion — shows signs of strain. Several of Ukraine’s key partners remain committed to providing military and financial support, but political divisions, shifting priorities, and domestic pressures in some allied countries have complicated efforts to maintain a cohesive front.

Trump Issues Dire Warning: 'Obliterate Iran' if It Tries to Assassinate Him


In a dramatic display of resolve on Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that he has instructed his advisers to “obliterate” Iran if the Islamic Republic attempts to assassinate him. Speaking during a press briefing as he signed an executive order aimed at imposing maximum pressure on Tehran, Trump declared, “If they did that they would be obliterated, there won’t be anything left.”

The executive order follows federal charges alleging that Iranian officials had directed operative Farhad Shakeri, 51, to surveil and ultimately target Trump. Although Shakeri’s whereabouts remain unknown, the revelation of the thwarted assassination plot has contributed to an already tense atmosphere between Washington and Tehran.

Trump’s bold rhetoric underscores his administration’s uncompromising approach to national security. By issuing a threat that leaves no room for ambiguity, the president not only emphasizes his personal safety but also signals that any act of aggression against U.S. leadership will be met with an overwhelming response. This announcement comes at a time when geopolitical tensions are high, and it reinforces the message that the United States is prepared to take extreme measures if provoked.

As the situation develops, international observers will be closely watching how Tehran responds to what is perhaps one of the most stark warnings issued by a U.S. president in recent memory.
