Relentless Push: Russia Claims Strategic Edge in Ukraine Offensive

  Servicemen of the 115th Separate Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces use an RPG-7 grenade launcher during training between combat missions, in Kharkiv region, Ukraine. Russia’s top military commander, General Valery Gerasimov, has declared that Russian forces are conducting a non-stop offensive along nearly the entire front line in Ukraine, asserting that the “strategic initiative” now lies with Moscow.

Hamas Demands Path to Permanent Ceasefire Amid Stalled Truce Talks

 

Hamas has declared that it will not agree to any interim truce in the Gaza conflict unless negotiations include concrete steps toward a permanent ceasefire. In a televised statement on Friday, Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for Hamas' armed wing, emphasized that the group favors a temporary truce but warned that failure to reach an agreement could prompt Hamas to insist on a comprehensive deal to end the war entirely.

The ongoing talks, mediated by Qatar and Egypt with U.S. backing, have centered around a proposed 60-day ceasefire. The deal would involve the release of 10 hostages held in Gaza and the return of 18 bodies, in exchange for Israel freeing a number of detained Palestinians. However, key sticking points remain, including Israeli military withdrawal maps, aid delivery logistics, and guarantees that any truce would lead to a full cessation of hostilities.

Hamas insists that any agreement must ultimately end the war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that the conflict will only conclude once Hamas is disarmed and its leadership removed from Gaza. With no breakthrough in sight, the prospect of a partial deal appears increasingly uncertain.
