US EditionPutin Rejects Trump Peace Deal and Issues Chilling WW3 Warning to Europe
Putin warns Russia could launch overwhelming force if provoked by Kyiv's European backers; NATO fields nearly 5.9 million personnel, $1.59 trillion spending expected in 2025.
- On Tuesday, Vladimir Putin, Russian president, warned Europe he was `ready` for war and would strike if provoked by Kyiv's European backers, leaving `nobody left to negotiate peace with`.
- Putin's army has grown to 1.32 million active personnel, supported by three legislative expansions since 2022 enabling the build-up.
- Together, Nato can field 3.14 million active personnel and 2.75 million reserves, totalling 5.89 million, with over 14,000 tanks and around 21,000 aircraft, while expected spending was $1.59 trillion in 2025, with Washington covering $980b.

- Strategic analysts note both sides have nuclear arsenals, and the International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates Russia's military worth at upwards of $460bn, while Europe's governments and publics wake to a defence shortfall amid a reluctant White House.

Trump's peace plan for Ukraine is stalling. Putin shows interest, but key issues remain unresolved.
In addition to rejecting the draft agreement presented by the servile Steve Witkoff to put an end to the war in Ukraine, the Russian dictator has released himself these days at ease against Europe. The diatribe began with the wild arguments of old, which blame the European “warlords”—what you have to hear—that Ukraine has not surrendered as if that, and not the invasion of a sovereign state, was a crime against peace.After the accusations came t…
Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin has once again demonstrated that he does not want to compromise in the Ukraine war. Especially for Europeans, the Russian negotiations with the US must be a warning.
