A Russian Geran-2 drone struck an apartment complex in Galati, Romania on the night of May twenty-eighth into twenty-ninth. That's NATO territory.
Here's what makes the Russian military picture stranger than it looks from the outside. Putin isn't just managing a failing war.
On the ground, the picture has shifted in Ukraine's favor across several sectors. Ukrainian forces are confirming advances near Kostyantynivka, Druzhkivka, Kupyansk, Velykyi Burluk, and in the Zaporizhia area.
Across the Middle East, US and Iranian negotiators have moved from framework talks to a draft sixty-day memorandum. The agreement would extend a ceasefire, gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift the naval blockade, and establish a three-hundred-billion-dollar reconstruction fund.
The durability question gets sharper when you look at what Israel is doing simultaneously. Netanyahu has ordered Israeli forces to seize seventy percent of the Gaza Strip.
Three things are worth tracking closely from here. First, NATO's formal response to the Galati drone strike.
