The US has delivered its strongest warning yet that Russia is preparing to stage a pretext to attack Ukraine.

Ukrainian border guards remain on high alert, scoping for any sign of Russian movement.

President Joe Biden believes war could break out “within the coming days”, but stresses a diplomatic path forward is still possible.

Biden’s comments follow Moscow’s eleven page written response to Washington’s attempt at diplomacy.

The letter criticises the United States, with Moscow alleging it has received “no constructive answer” from the US to key demands.

We know Russia is attempting to block NATO’s expansion east, viewing the alliance as a threat to its values.

But as tensions seemingly escalate on the border the Kremlin has slammed Biden’s earlier address.

Spokesperson Dmitri Peskov says the US is continuing to “whip up tension” with such statements.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also raised concerns of a Russian pretext to invade Ukraine.

Blinken warns Russia could fabricate an excuse to invade the eastern European nation, as he attempts to create a path to diplomacy.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
