Germany warns of Russian attack on NATO, US becomes top oil exporter, and Ukraine reports child recruitment

German army chief Christian Freuding has again warned that Russia could attack NATO countries by 2029 or sooner, prompting Germany to accelerate weapon production and enhance army provisions. Meanwhile, the United States has emerged as the world's largest oil exporter, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia. In Ukraine, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets clarified that his initial meeting with Russian ombudsman Yana Lantratova focused on establishing dialogue for future results, rather than immediately addressing her alleged role in child deportations from Kherson. 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.
