Germany anticipates potential Russian attack on NATO by 2029

German army chief Christian Freuding stated that Russia could attack NATO countries by late 2029, prompting Germany to accelerate weapon production. Concurrently, the United States has become the world's largest oil exporter, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia. In Ukraine, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets clarified his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova focused on establishing dialogue, rather than immediately addressing her alleged role in child deportations from Kherson. 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 emphasized 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.
