Around 2,000 troops will be dispatched from North Carolina to Poland and Germany with another 1,000 already in Germany, headed for Romania.

Moscow has responded to the move labelling the US deployment as “destructive steps”.

US Senate Republic leader Mitch McConnel applauded the Biden Administration’s move and says it’s important to show military might during a turbulent time.

While another Republican senator Josh Hawley condemned the move, stating that it was “just another foreign crisis that this administration has blundered into.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded to this comment during a press conference saying the move represents American values.

During talks with UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Johnson that NATO was “unwilling” to address his concerns regarding Ukraine, one of which was banning the country from joining the military alliance.

But Russian leaders have agreed on the need for a “peaceful resolution” over Ukraine.

Now France’s President Macron is scheduled to speak to US President Joe Biden about the conflict and is also considering going to Russia.

This comes as Russia amasses 100,000 of its troops on its border with Ukraine… but denies any further aggression.

Military buildup comes only eight years after Russia annexed Ukraine’s southern Crimea peninsula, backing a rebellion in the eastern region.

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.
