German general warns of potential Russian attack on NATO by 2029

A senior German military official has warned that Russia could attack NATO countries by late 2029, prompting Germany to accelerate its weapon production and army provisions. This assessment comes as the United States has reportedly become the world's largest oil exporter, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia, amid a conflict between the US and Iran that has impacted Saudi exports.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets clarified that his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova aimed to establish dialogue, not to immediately address her alleged involvement in child deportations. Separately, Ukrainian law enforcement has documented six cases this year where Russian special services allegedly recruited underage girls for contract killings of Ukrainian military personnel. Human rights expert Boris Zakharov reiterated that the release of approximately 20,000 prisoners and civilian detainees should precede any negotiations, noting a recent exchange included only one civilian among 186 Ukrainians returned.
