German army chief warns of potential Russian attack on NATO by 2029

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. In economic developments, the United States has emerged as the world's largest oil exporter, surpassing traditional leaders Saudi Arabia and Russia. Separately, Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets clarified that his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova focused on establishing dialogue for future outcomes, rather than immediately addressing her alleged involvement in child deportations from Kherson. Ukrainian law enforcement has also documented six instances this year where Russian special services allegedly recruited underage girls for contract killings of Ukrainian military personnel.
