Vadim Voss, founder of Next Level DeFi, joins the Breakfast Leadership Show to share how everyday people can put their money to work through decentralized finance without trading, without chart-watching, and without being a tech expert. His mission is to help one million people break free from a banking system that was never built to serve them. What You Will Learn Why a savings account earning 2 to 3 percent is quietly losing you money What liquidity mining is and why it puts you on the "house side" of crypto trading How stablecoins like USDT allow you to earn 20 to 30 percent annually with minimal risk Why DeFi positions can be insured for as little as $30 per month per $10,000 deployed How Vadim's students manage their positions in just 5 to 10 minutes per week Why diversification across real estate, gold, stocks, and DeFi is the smart path forward Key Insights Vadim built Next Level DeFi after losing the majority of a $6 million fortune to unreliable foreign banks. Rather than retreat from finance, he learned decentralized systems inside and out and now teaches total beginners how to become the infrastructure that crypto traders rely on. His students are not speculating on the next hot coin. They are providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges and collecting fees the way Robinhood collects trading fees, except those fees flow back to them. The stablecoin liquidity mining strategy Vadim teaches is designed for people who want consistent, predictable monthly income in U.S. dollars without exposure to volatile assets. Since stablecoins are always pegged to $1, the principal does not fluctuate. Returns in the 20 to 30 percent range significantly outperform any traditional bank product, and the addition of smart contract insurance from platforms like Nexus Mutual makes the position arguably safer than a standard FDIC-insured deposit in terms of the user's control and transparency. Michael and Vadim both reinforce that education is the true entry point. Just as Warren Buffett observed that those who do not learn to make money while they sleep will work until they die, both host and guest emphasize that passive income is not a luxury for the wealthy. It is a learnable skill available to anyone willing to invest the time to understand it. Guest Bio Vadim Voss is the founder of Next Level DeFi, a platform dedicated to helping everyday people generate passive income through decentralized finance. An NYU graduate who built and lost a $6 million fortune through international business ventures across Lithuania, Moscow, and Kyiv, Vadim turned adversity into expertise. With over 14 years of experience in crypto and DeFi, he specializes in teaching total beginners how to deploy capital using liquidity mining strategies on platforms like Uniswap. His mission is to help one million people escape the traditional banking system. Free Resource for Listeners Vadim has put together an exclusive bundle for Breakfast Leadership Show listeners called the DeFi Income Blueprint, available free at: nextleveldefi.com/leadership The bundle includes: A DeFi Income Calculator that forecasts your monthly and annual returns based on your capital and risk appetite The Uniswap Ultimate Playbook, a 27-page step-by-step guide to deploying capital on Uniswap. This is the same playbook provided to Vadim's $3,000 coaching clients. Connect with Vadim Voss Website: nextleveldefi.com Free Bundle: https://nextleveldefi.com/leadership  

On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains and after meeting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, US president Trump said that Moscow should make a deal to end its war with Kyiv. Have European leaders finally got Trump on side? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 114 opens with a War Room clash: Rabbi Wallachie acknowledges that US and Israeli interests are diverging, but Ghost steps in to correct his claim that Hezbollah is simply the Iranian army, walking through its actual origins as a resistance movement. From there, Ghost breaks down a heated Bannon segment where Wallachie denies any Greater Israel expansion plan, a claim Ghost dismantles using Ben Gavir's own statements about expelling Lebanese civilians. At the G7 in France, Trump publicly criticizes Israel's conduct in Lebanon, suggests Syria's Jelani take over the Hezbollah fight, and reveals he was angry about the Beirut strike hours before the Iran deal was finalized. Ghost digs into the Strait of Hormuz numbers discrepancy between CENTCOM's leaked count and Bloomberg's tracker data, and explains why Trump is withholding the full 14 point memorandum until Friday. Putin and Trump's hour long birthday call gets coverage alongside Lukashenko's bombshell claim that the Vatican and Naftali Bennett deceived Putin into pulling back from Kyiv in 2022. The episode closes with Israel's political fallout: Lapid calling Netanyahu's handling an absolute failure, Smotrich and Katz refusing to be bound by the deal, and American Jewish leaders demanding the text be made public.

Silicon Bites Ep352 | 2026-06-16 | This is the doctrine. The doctrine is the Empire of Savages. Savagery in this analytical frame is not the absence of values. Savagery is the active deployment of an alternative value system that treats the protections of international humanitarian law, the heritage of pluralistic civilisation, the existence of the autonomous nation, and the sanctity of religious and cultural sites as enemy property to be destroyed. The Russian state has not failed to understand the laws of war. The Russian state has rejected them — actively, doctrinally, and operationally — in favour of an alternative imperial framework that celebrates the destruction of pluralistic heritage as the restoration of properly-Russian civilisational primacy. It is still a crime. The vertical mindset— the vertikal, the Russian-imperial framework of centralised authoritarian rule under a single sovereign — is the political-structural correlate of this doctrinal framework. In the vertical mindset, values do not exist as independent constraints on power. Values exist only insofar as they serve the sovereign's project. Ukrainian democracy, Ukrainian pluralism, Ukrainian European-civilisational orientation are, in this framework, not alternative legitimate value systems. They are contempt-worthy errors that the sovereign's project is justified in correcting through violence. The Russian state's contempt for Ukraine — visible in every speech, every targeting decision, every cultural-heritage strike — is operationally informed by the perceived inferiority of pluralistic-democratic values of the West and Ukraine compared to the vertical-imperial framework.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has already been signed by the United States and Iran. White House officials have been giving some details about the Iran deal. They say the Strait of Hormuz will re-open on Friday - the same day the deal is formally signed in Geneva - with shipping traffic increasing gradually.Also on the programme: A wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine has killed ten people and badly damaged one of Kyiv's most sacred and historic cathedrals, we hear from historian and archaeologist Maksym Ostapenko; and scientists have found a new way to detect microplastics in the living tissue of our bodies with a laser, we speak to medical imaging lecturer Stephen Patrick, who led the research.

President Trump and Iran separately announced an agreement to end more than three months of war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. For more on what could come of the deal, we hear from Jon Finer, a former adviser to President Biden who helped negotiate the Obama administration's deal to restrict Iran's nuclear program. Then, a major Russian attack overnight set fire to a historic monastery complex in Kyiv and killed at least four people. It's the latest barrage by Russia, which launched 611 long-range drones and 70 missiles, according to Ukraine's Air Force.

Last night Russia killed 11 civilians and attacked a historic cathedral in Kiev. On today's show, guest host Yuri Rashkin is in conversation with journalists Zarina Zabrisky and Jason Jay Smart, as well as politician Lev Parnas to talk about Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine and the status of support for Ukraine in the US. Zabrisky is a war correspondent currently living in Kherson, a city with more than 250,000 people located in an active “red zone.” She documents the phenomena of “human safari” drone strikes in which Russian troops use small drones equipped with cameras to identify targets. Zabrisky says that even though the people of Kherson experience violence on a daily basis since the start of the war, the city is still their home and they have complex reasons for staying. The people of Kherson have responded to Russia's use of fiber optic drones by covering parts of the city in fishing lines.  Smart says that Russia's attacks on churches, like the one bombed last night in Kiev, is a strategy of destroying symbols of the shared history between Russia and Ukraine. He's noticed that Russia has shifted its language around Ukraine from being a place that has “gone astray” to one that is full of “heathens.” This religious rhetoric is helping Moscow attract far-Right US agitators like Candace Owens and perpetuate an idea of Russia as a Christian nation upholding the faith. Zabrisky and Smart say that Ukraine is far from achieving peace and safety. But Smart predicts a paradigm shift in Russia in the near term.  Parnas joins the conversation to discuss the “love fest” between Washington and Moscow and the status of support for Ukraine within the Trump administration. He also discusses his role during the first Trump administration and what he predicts from Todd Blanche as Attorney General.

Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk fileren hoe Teheran de bovenliggende partij wordt, de Straat van Hormuz tegen betaling heropent en via Golfstaten vermoedelijk miljarden aan bevroren tegoeden lospeutert. De nucleaire kwestie, raketten en Iraanse proxygroepen blijven grotendeels onaangeroerd, terwijl Washington binnenlands gedoe krijgt over een deal die nauwelijks beter oogt dan die van Obama. Rusland voert intussen de raket- en droneoorlog op tegen Oekraïne, met zware aanvallen op Kyiv, Charkiv en cultureel werelderfgoed als het Holenklooster. De Russische wapenproductie draait omhoog, van kruisraketten tot Iskanders, terwijl Oekraïne met schaarse Patriot-raketten een gat in de luchtverdediging probeert te dichten. Aan het front rond Kostiantynivka maken Russische infiltratie-eenheden terrein maar missen ze massa om snel door te breken. In aanloop naar de G7 in Evian zoeken Europese leiders naar manieren om Trump binnenboord te houden, van diners in Versailles tot gesprekken over China en wereldhandel. De vraag hoeveel strategische regie Europa zelf nog heeft, hangt nadrukkelijk boven de top.

Na weken van diplomatiek gesteggel, lijken de VS en Iran een eerste echte stap te zetten tot een akkoord. Wat betekent dit en gaat het voor een doorbraak zorgen? We bespreken het met historicus en Irankenner Peyman Jafari en Amerikakenner Casper Thomas van de Groene Amsterdammer. (14:43) Aanval op iconisch klooster Oekraïne In de Oekraïense hoofdstad Kyiv is een kathedraal van het iconische Holenklooster zondagnacht zwaar beschadigd geraakt bij Russische raketaanvallen. Het is niet het enige iconische gebouw dat Rusland vannacht onder vuur nam: ook een museum en beroemd theater werden geraakt. In Oekraïne rijst nu de vraag: is Rusland uit op de vernietiging van de culturele identiteit van Oekraïne? Daarover correspondent Michiel Driebergen. Presentatie door Chris Kijne

De Verenigde Staten en Iran bereiken volgens de Pakistaanse premier Shehbaz Sharif een voorlopig vredesakkoord, met een onmiddellijk staakt-het-vuren op alle fronten en heropening van de Straat van Hormuz. President Donald Trump presenteert het als succes op zijn 80e verjaardag en belooft tolvrije doorvaart, terwijl details over het nucleaire dossier en de precieze afspraken pas na ondertekening in Zwitserland duidelijk worden. Correspondenten waarschuwen dat het akkoord in feite een tijdelijk staakt-het-vuren van 60 dagen is, met grote economische gevolgen als sancties worden verlicht en olie-exporten weer op gang komen. In Oekraïne voert Rusland opnieuw zware luchtaanvallen uit op Kiev en andere doelen, waarbij de Oekraïense luchtverdediging weliswaar veel projectielen onderschept maar niet alles kan tegenhouden.

Il Papa: gi anziani non sono un peso Venerdi la firma dell'accordo di pace tra Usa e Iran. Il Libano chiede a Israele di fermare i bombardamenti In Ucraina violento bombardamento russo della notte sulla cattedrale della Dormizione di Kyiv

De Verenigde Staten en Iran bereiken volgens de Pakistaanse premier Shehbaz Sharif een voorlopig vredesakkoord, met een onmiddellijk staakt-het-vuren op alle fronten en heropening van de Straat van Hormuz. President Donald Trump presenteert het als succes op zijn 80e verjaardag en belooft tolvrije doorvaart, terwijl details over het nucleaire dossier en de precieze afspraken pas na ondertekening in Zwitserland duidelijk worden. Correspondenten waarschuwen dat het akkoord in feite een tijdelijk staakt-het-vuren van 60 dagen is, met grote economische gevolgen als sancties worden verlicht en olie-exporten weer op gang komen. In Oekraïne voert Rusland opnieuw zware luchtaanvallen uit op Kiev en andere doelen, waarbij de Oekraïense luchtverdediging weliswaar veel projectielen onderschept maar niet alles kan tegenhouden.

All Saints of North America and Antioch St. Matthew 4:18-23 On the Sunday of All Saints of North America and Antioch, Fr. Anthony reflects on how the same American instincts that often lead people to Orthodoxy can become obstacles to spiritual growth once they arrive. While habits of inquiry, comparison, and evaluation help many converts discover the Church, the Christian life requires a transition from constantly judging and analyzing to trusting the Church's proven path of formation. Drawing on examples from marriage, culture, and the lives of the saints, he argues that the Church has been making saints for two thousand years and invites us to relax into that process of transformation. --- In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Glory to Jesus Christ! This is the Second Sunday after Pentecost, which means we celebrate the saints. Now, some of you are thinking, "Father, wasn't that last Sunday?" Yes—but this Sunday we celebrate the saints who are the fruit of the Christian faith in particular places. Here in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, we commemorate both the Saints of Antioch and the Saints of North America. Antioch is where the followers of Christ were first called Christians. North America is where that same faith has borne fruit in our own land. Today we celebrate what happens when the Holy Spirit takes root in a people and a place and brings forth holiness. The saints were not abstractions. They were not merely names in books or faces in icons. They had families, homes, occupations, and daily struggles. They lived in particular places and faced particular temptations, just as we do. Their lives remind us that holiness is not reserved for another age or another people. It is the calling of every Christian. I know some people who are jealous of Christians who lived in other times and places. I understand the temptation. We imagine what it must have been like to live in a culture where everyone was Christian, where theology, marriage, friendship, and worship were reinforced by the world around you. It can seem as though faith would come naturally in such a setting. But every culture has its own strengths and weaknesses. Every age has its temptations. Ours certainly does. This is one reason I often speak about the long, slow slog of salvation. It takes time for Christ to gain traction in our lives. It takes time for the Holy Spirit to draw us out of our sins, reorder our desires, and teach us to see the world according to the truth. As much as we may romanticize other places and times, the reality is that the whole world groans under the weight of sin. Consider the relationship between Church and state. Some Christians look with envy at times when governments openly supported the Church. One of my favorite examples is Saint Volodymyr of Kyiv. The church he built became known as the Church of the Tithes because he dedicated a tenth of his wealth to support it. That kind of patronage can be a tremendous blessing. It keeps the doors open. It provides a place where people can encounter Christ. But there is also a danger. If people do not intentionally offer themselves to the life of the Church, they can begin to take it for granted. Historians, sociologists, and political scientists have repeatedly observed that when the Church becomes too dependent on state support, participation often becomes passive. The buildings remain full, the clergy remain funded, but the active fellowship of the faithful can become hollowed out unless people are deeply intentional about their commitment. In modern language, we might say that people need some "skin in the game." Faith must become personal. It must become sacrificial. We cannot simply inherit it; we must offer ourselves to it. The same pattern appears elsewhere. My Greek friends often point out that Hellenistic culture provided many of the intellectual tools that helped people understand and articulate the Christian faith. Concepts such as the Logos and the philosophical vocabulary of the ancient world became powerful instruments in the service of theology. And yet those same intellectual strengths carried their own dangers. Some Christians were tempted toward Gnosticism. Others drifted into excessive rigorism. The very strengths of a culture can become weaknesses if they are not transformed by Christ. The same is true for us as Americans. There is much about our culture that I celebrate. We are approaching the 250th anniversary of our nation, and as a son of the American Revolution, I appreciate the freedoms we enjoy. The First Amendment protects our ability to seek the truth and worship God according to our conscience. Many of us found Orthodoxy precisely because we were free to look beyond the assumptions of our surrounding culture. But there is another characteristic of American life that deserves our attention: consumerism. Consumerism is not merely an economic system; it is a pattern of thought. It trains us to compare, evaluate, and choose. Every trip to the grocery store involves a series of cost-benefit analyses. We compare quality and price. We examine options. We decide which product best meets our needs. That habit of evaluation has actually helped many converts find Orthodoxy. Most of us arrived here because we became dissatisfied with something. We sensed that something was missing. We began asking questions. We read books, listened to lectures, watched videos, and compared alternatives. We weighed ideas the same way we weigh products. Eventually, we discovered Orthodoxy and recognized that it offered something we had not found elsewhere: a way of life capable of leading us into deeper communion with Christ. For many of us, that process was a blessing. Without it, we might never have escaped the assumptions we inherited from our surroundings. We might never have realized that another way was possible. Now here is the challenge. The same habits that helped many of us find Orthodoxy can become obstacles once we are inside the Church. Let me explain through an analogy. Think about the way Americans approach courtship today. We live in a culture of options. Dating apps, personality profiles, compatibility scores, and endless advice all encourage us to evaluate potential spouses through a kind of cost-benefit analysis. We compare possibilities and try to determine which person is the best match. Now, thank God, many people eventually find someone they love. They build a life together, get married, and begin a family. But what happens if they never leave behind that consumer mindset? What happens if they continue to evaluate their spouse the way they once evaluated potential spouses? Sooner or later they discover something unexpected. They find an imperfection they did not anticipate. They encounter a habit they dislike. They discover a weakness that was not apparent before. At that point the consumer instinct kicks in. Some begin looking around, wondering whether there might be something better. Others begin trying to "fix" their spouse, treating the relationship like a renovation project. After thirty-six years of marriage, I can tell you that my wife became much happier when she gave up trying to fix me. There are some things that simply cannot be fixed. More importantly, that is not how healthy relationships work. A good marriage is not built through constant evaluation. It is built through trust, commitment, patience, sacrifice, and love. At some point you stop analyzing the relationship from the outside and begin living it from the inside. You relax into it. You allow yourself to be formed by it. That does not mean you stop growing. It means growth happens through love rather than manipulation. The same principle applies to the Church. I celebrate the fact that many of us found Orthodoxy because we were willing to ask questions, compare alternatives, and search for the truth. Those habits served us well. But once we arrive, we must be careful. If you have ever been a catechumen with me, you have heard me say something that may sound strange: don't become a catechumen unless you are ready to trust. You do not have to know everything before becoming Orthodox. No one does. We make sure people understand the essentials. We address the major questions and objections. But eventually there comes a point where a person must decide whether this is a place where he can be formed. If we carry the spirit of consumerism into the Church, we begin treating everything the same way we treated products on a shelf. We evaluate constantly. We compare constantly. We judge constantly. Combined with the polarization that already infects our culture, this can become spiritually destructive. We begin dividing ourselves into camps. We become critics rather than disciples. Instead of allowing the Church to form us, we place ourselves above it as evaluators. Now, that does not mean we stop improving things. We are always working to improve parish life. We renovate buildings. We develop ministries. We solve problems. But there is a profound difference between building up and tearing down. One spirit seeks to serve. The other seeks to dominate. One spirit acts from love. The other acts from judgment. One spirit strengthens communion. The other undermines it. At some point we must surrender the very habit of analysis that helped bring us here, just as a husband and wife must eventually stop evaluating one another and begin living together in trust. Once you have given your life to Christ and entered His Church, relax. You are in the right place. This is not a pig in a poke. Most of my catechumens know that expression. For those who do not, a "poke" is an old word for a bag. If you were buying a pig at market, you always looked inside the bag before handing over your money. Otherwise you might discover later that someone had sold you something entirely different. Orthodoxy is not a pig in a poke. You have looked inside the bag. You have examined the evidence. You have read the books. You have asked the questions. You have seen what the Church is. Now trust it. The Church has been forming saints for two thousand years. It has done so in Syria and Lebanon, in Greece and Romania, in Kyiv and Moscow, in Alaska and North America. It has formed saints in every culture, every language, and every century. It can form saints here. It can form saints out of us. But only if we allow it to do its work. There are very few places left in modern life where we can lower our defenses, let go of constant evaluation, and simply receive. The Church should be one of those places. This is one reason our worship is so carefully ordered. The prayers have been tested by generations. The hymns have been handed down through centuries. The services have been shaped by the wisdom of the saints. The Church knows what she is doing. Now, I still tell my catechumens and students to keep a little filter active during the homily. The prayers have been vetted by the Church. The sermon comes from me, and I am still a work in progress. But the larger point remains. Let the Church form you. The Church has been creating saints for two thousand years. It is not a cookie-cutter process. Saint Nicholas, Saint Tikhon, and Saint John were very different men. Yet all were united in Christ. The Church knows how to confront our sins. It knows how to heal anger, lust, despondency, pride, and despair. It knows how to help us become more patient, more loving, more peaceful, and more faithful. You do not need a guru. You do not need another internet rabbit hole. You do not need endless searches for the next great spiritual secret. The saints have already shown us the way. Pray. Love sacrificially. Open yourself to God's grace in the sacraments. Love God. Love your neighbor. This is the calling of every human being. This is the vocation of the royal priesthood. This is the path walked by the saints of Antioch, the saints of North America, and the saints throughout the world. And it is the path set before us today. May God strengthen us as we walk it together. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Three Indian sailors are dead after U.S. forces struck a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman, marking the first reported fatalities tied to Washington's blockade of Iran. We'll explain what happened, why India is demanding answers, and how the incident could complicate one of America's most important strategic relationships. Ukraine may have found a cheaper way to defend its skies. We'll look at a new homegrown interceptor missile that costs less than a quarter of a Patriot round and could help Kyiv counter Russian missile attacks at a fraction of the cost. Five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela is rapidly dismantling the symbols of his rule. We'll examine how the former dictator is being erased from public life and what it says about the country's post-Maduro future. In today's Back of the Brief, the House rejects a last-minute effort to extend a controversial surveillance authority, putting the future of a key U.S. intelligence tool in doubt.  To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports in a new blow to the Kremlin's narrative that Moscow is winning the 4-year war in Ukraine, Kyiv's forces are targeting fuel supplies in the Crimean Peninsula.

VOV1 - Ủy ban Quân vụ Thượng viện Mỹ ngày 11/6 đã thông qua phiên bản của Đạo luật Ủy quyền Quốc phòng (NDAA) năm 2027, trong đó đề xuất gia hạn chương trình hỗ trợ an ninh cho Ukraine và nâng mức tài trợ lên 750 triệu USD.Theo dự luật được Ủy ban Quân vụ Thượng viện thông qua, khoản hỗ trợ 750 triệu USD sẽ được phân bổ cho Sáng kiến Hỗ trợ An ninh Ukraine (USAI), chương trình cho phép chính phủ Mỹ ký hợp đồng với các doanh nghiệp quốc phòng trong nước để mua sắm và cung cấp vũ khí, trang thiết bị cho quân đội Ukraine. Động thái này được xem là tín hiệu cho thấy Quốc hội Mỹ tiếp tục duy trì sự ủng hộ đối với Kiev bất chấp việc chính quyền Tổng thống Donald Trump đã cắt giảm đáng kể viện trợ trong thời gian qua.Đây là mức hỗ trợ cao hơn so với những năm gần đây và được đưa ra trong bối cảnh giao tranh giữa Nga và Ukraine vẫn tiếp diễn ác liệt, trong khi các cuộc đàm phán hòa bình chưa đạt được tiến triển đáng kể.Dự luật quốc phòng của Thượng viện có tổng giá trị khoảng 1.150 tỷ USD, bao gồm các nội dung từ mua sắm tàu chiến, máy bay chiến đấu, hệ thống tên lửa, tăng lương cho quân nhân cho đến các chính sách đối phó với các thách thức an ninh toàn cầu.Ngoài vấn đề Ukraine, dự luật còn quy định cấm sử dụng các nguồn ngân sách được phân bổ theo Đạo luật Ủy quyền Quốc phòng cho bất kỳ hoạt động nào công nhận chủ quyền của Nga đối với các vùng lãnh thổ Ukraine được cộng đồng quốc tế thừa nhận. Dự luật cũng yêu cầu Bộ Chiến tranh Mỹ tiếp tục cung cấp hỗ trợ tình báo cho Ukraine nhằm phục vụ các hoạt động bảo vệ hoặc giành lại lãnh thổ.Một nội dung đáng chú ý khác là dự luật tiếp tục ủng hộ đề xuất của Tổng thống Donald Trump về việc đổi tên Bộ Quốc phòng thành Bộ Chiến tranh. Đề xuất này trước đó cũng đã xuất hiện trong phiên bản NDAA do Ủy ban Quân vụ Hạ viện thông qua, dù vẫn vấp phải sự phản đối từ các nghị sĩ Dân chủ.Dự luật cũng cho phép mua sắm dài hạn đối với một số hệ thống vũ khí chủ lực của quân đội Mỹ, trong đó có tiêm kích F-15EX do Boeing sản xuất và tiêm kích F-35 của Lockheed Martin.Tuy nhiên, dự luật vẫn còn phải trải qua nhiều bước trước khi trở thành luật. Sau khi được toàn thể Thượng viện thông qua, văn bản này sẽ phải được dung hòa với phiên bản của Hạ viện trước khi trình lên Tổng thống Trump để ký ban hành hoặc phủ quyết.Động thái mới nhất của Quốc hội Mỹ diễn ra trong bối cảnh viện trợ của Washington dành cho Kiev đã giảm đáng kể kể từ khi ông Trump trở lại Nhà Trắng đầu năm 2025. Trong khi đó, các cuộc giao tranh giữa Nga và Ukraine vẫn tiếp tục với các cuộc tấn công bằng tên lửa, máy bay không người lái và pháo binh trên nhiều mặt trận.Các cuộc đàm phán hòa bình hiện vẫn bế tắc khi Ukraine tiếp tục bác bỏ yêu cầu của Nga về việc từ bỏ các vùng lãnh thổ mà Kiev đang kiểm soát kể từ khi xung đột bùng phát vào năm 2022./.Quang Trung/VOVMỹ

Day 1,567.As Ukraine intensifies its campaign against Crimea by striking key bridges and transport links in an effort to isolate the peninsula, we examine potentially seismic political developments in London. Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey – one of Kyiv's strongest allies and a leading advocate for military rearmament – has dramatically resigned in protest over defence spending and the country's preparedness for a future conflict, triggering a crisis that could topple the Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Francis and Dom comb through Healey's damning resignation letter and consider how Kyiv will react to the news. Later, Francis explores a major new report on the risks of a sudden ceasefire in Ukraine with some of the world's leading experts.Thumbnail image shows Crimean bridge ablaze in 2022.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to:Orysia Lutsevych OBE (head of the Ukraine Forum, Chatham House)Simon Smith (chair of the steering committee, Ukraine Forum, Chatham House, and British ambassador 2012 to 2015)Keir Giles (senior consulting fellow, Russia and Eurasia Programme, Chatham House, and author Who Will Defend Europe?)John Lough (associate fellow, Chatham House, and head of foreign policy, New Eurasian Strategies Centre)Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Setbacks don't send a calendar invite. They show up at 6 a.m. on a Teams call. In a hospital room. On a battlefield. George Tagg Jr. has met adversity at every one of those addresses. And every single time, he found a way forward. Attorney. Former DOJ Nazi hunter. A State Department and DOD official who negotiated in the Caucasus, was on the ground in Kyiv when Russia's invasion began, and managed the deconfliction line between U.S. and Russian forces in Syria. George has served across multiple presidential administrations. He is now founder and CEO of GTC 360 Advisors. And writing a book on resilience, including a chapter on dealing with bullies. Starting with Putin. But if you ask George, his hardest moments were never on a battlefield. Losing his grandparents young. Then his father, one of the most magnetic lobbyists in DC during the 90s, gone suddenly to a heart attack six months after 9/11. George was 20. He could have gone the other direction. Instead, he picked up the legacy, held onto the lessons, and kept going. That is what this episode is really about. Not the geopolitics. The process. A repeatable, human way of turning your worst moments into the thing that moves you forward. If you have ever faced a moment that felt unsurvivable, this one is for you.   Additional Resources: Connect with George on LinkedIn Learn more about GTC 360 Advisors Attend Unleashing Leaders University!

I read this book with absolute passion. While it is a novel, it is truly an epic—the story of a family told through the greatest upheavals and disasters of the 20th century. Although it is set in Greece, we Ukrainians can deeply relate to this story: a narrative where global events shape your life far more than your own plans. It is a novel about national conflicts and population displacements, fascism and communism, World War II, violence from all sides. It explores the trap of "revolutionary struggle," the dilemmas of duty versus life, and self-sacrifice versus human happiness. The novel is called "Niki", and it was written by Christos Chomenidis, a prominent Greek writer. I was glad to meet him in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, where he traveled at the invitation of the Greek embassy and his Ukrainian publisher. We sat down at PEN Ukraine and spoke about Europe, the past, the future, freedom, war, and peace. This is Thinking in Dark Times, a podcast series by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine. *** Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, chief editor of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Guest: Christos Chomenidis, a prominent, award-winning Greek writer. He has traveled to Ukraine despite the relentless Russian missile and drone strikes that regularly target the Ukrainian cities. *** Listen on various platforms: https://li.sten.to/explaining-ukraine UkraineWorld: https://ukraineworld.org/en *** SUPPORT: You can support our work on https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld Your help is crucial, as we rely heavily on crowdfunding.

What is freedom a "muscle" that requires constant, everyday struggle and care? 38:28 What gives Christos Chomenidis hope for the future amidst challenging times?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: After a weekend that raised fears of a broader Middle East war, Israel and Iran are once again observing a ceasefire. We examine what changed, why both sides appear reluctant to escalate further, and what the latest developments may reveal about ongoing diplomatic efforts behind the scenes. Chinese leader Xi Jinping is heading to Pyongyang for his first visit in years. We explain why Beijing is renewing its focus on North Korea and what the trip says about China's evolving strategic priorities in East Asia. Russian authorities in occupied Crimea are tightening fuel restrictions after a series of Ukrainian strikes disrupted supply lines. We look at how Kyiv is increasingly turning the peninsula into a logistical liability for Moscow. With the World Cup just days away, intelligence and security agencies are preparing for what could be the most complex sporting event ever staged. We examine the threats officials are monitoring and the unprecedented security measures now being deployed.

In this episode of the President's Daily Brief: In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran continues targeting ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz, but new reporting suggests far more commercial vessels are making the journey than previously believed. We examine how shipping companies are navigating the dangerous waterway and the quiet role the U.S. Navy is playing in keeping maritime traffic moving. Ukraine is combining drones with real-time satellite intelligence to dramatically improve its ability to locate and strike Russian forces. We break down the technology helping Kyiv identify hidden targets and increasing the effectiveness of its battlefield operations. New reporting suggests U.S. intelligence officials are increasingly concerned about Israeli intelligence activities targeting American discussions and negotiations involving Iran, highlighting the complicated realities of espionage between even the closest allies. In today's Back of the Brief, the Trump administration is reportedly considering whether frozen Iranian assets could be used to compensate Gulf allies that suffered damage during Tehran's retaliatory attacks, potentially making Iran pay for some of the costs of the conflict.

Day 1,564.After Vladimir Putin rejects President Zelensky's offer in his letter last week of face to face talks, claiming he doesn't need a ceasefire as he's on the verge of victory – plot spoiler, he does and he isn't – the political momentum in support of Kyiv continues, with the leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany in London for talks hosted by Britain's Prime Minister. Then Putin suffers another blow with a victory for the west-leaning incumbent leader in Armenia's election and there are more attacks on Putin's home city of St Petersburg, his beloved Sochi, and on one of the main bridges to Crimea.Contributors:Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
