German army chief reiterates Russia threat as US becomes top oil exporter

German Army Chief Christian Freuding reiterated his warning that Russia could attack NATO countries by 2029 or potentially sooner, prompting Germany to accelerate weapon production and enhance army provisions. Meanwhile, the United States has become the world's largest oil exporter, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia. In Ukraine, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets explained that his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova prioritized establishing dialogue for future results, rather than immediately discussing her alleged role in child deportations from Kherson. Ukrainian law enforcement has also recorded six cases this year where Russian special services reportedly recruited underage girls for contract killings of Ukrainian military personnel.
