Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks fifty-year security guarantees from the U.S. to prevent Russia from seizing more land. After meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for these guarantees to end the war, which has been ongoing since 2014. Despite progress in talks, challenges remain, including force withdrawals and the fate of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The U.S. and Russia are set to discuss the matter, with France planning a meeting in Paris to solidify contributions to the guarantees. Zelenskyy aims for a national referendum on a twenty-point peace plan, but a ceasefire is needed first, which Moscow currently opposes. Checkout Solipillow.com

Thai Army Accuses Cambodia of Violating Ceasefire: Drones Spotted Over Border - Tensions Escalate Thailands army has accused Cambodia of breaking a fresh ceasefire deal just days after it was signed, following weeks of deadly border clashes that displaced nearly one million people. The truce, which came after talks helped by China and the US, was violated when Thai forces spotted over two hundred fifty drones flying over from the Cambodian side. The ceasefire, which included holding front lines, banning reinforcements, and allowing civilians to return home quickly, was called a significant step forward. However, Thailand has warned that Cambodias drone flights, which they consider a clear provocation, may lead them to rethink releasing eighteen Cambodian soldiers captured in July. The border dispute between the neighbors dates back over a century, with tensions boiling over earlier this year and leading to the worst fighting in over a decade. Chinas foreign minister praised the truce, but Cambodia has not commented yet, leaving everyone watching closely for what happens next. Checkout Solipillow.com

Chinas largest military drills around Taiwan yet, dubbed Justice Mission twenty twenty-five, aim to demonstrate Beijings ability to block Taiwan from receiving external aid in a conflict. The exercises, which include ships and planes surrounding Taiwan, are the most extensive to date and come amidst ongoing tensions between China and Taiwan. The dispute dates back to nineteen forty-nine when the defeated government fled to Taiwan, with Beijing claiming the island under its one China policy. Taiwan, however, sees itself as a separate nation. Previous close calls include bombings in nineteen fifty-eight and missile tests in nineteen ninety-six. Recent escalations have occurred following U.S. visits, with China firing missiles over Taipei in August twenty twenty-two and conducting similar drills in twenty twenty-three and twenty twenty-four. The latest exercises, Strait Thunder twenty twenty-five, were held in April as another warning against separatism. Checkout Solipillow.com
