What was once a shadow conflict fought through proxies has evolved into direct military confrontation, raising fears of a wider regional war and drawing global attention to the balance of power, security, and stability in the region. 👇

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 — NEW: Russia says it is "no longer bound" by limits on the number of nuclear warheads it can deploy as the New START treaty expires.

🔴 The Russian Foreign Ministry said parties to the New START treaty "are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations" after Moscow says the US did not accept President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to extend limits for 12 months.

🔴 The treaty’s expiry frees Moscow and Washington to increase deployed strategic missiles and warheads, a move experts warn could allow each side to upload hundreds more warheads over time; Matt Korda of the Federation of American Scientists warned this risks a new arms race amid China’s rapid nuclear build-up.

🔴 US President Donald Trump has said he is open to a new agreement and told The New York Times, "If it expires, it expires. … We’ll just do a better agreement."

🇨🇴 🇺🇸 🇶🇦 ⚡️ — BREAKING: The Gaitanist Army of Colombia (EGC) has temporarily suspended peace talks in Doha after reports that Colombian President Gustavo Petro pledged to target its leader.

🔴 The EGC said the suspension is “by order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff” to consult and verify the reports and warned such moves would violate the Doha commitments.

🔴 Colombia’s Defence Minister Pedro Sanchez confirmed a list of three drug “kingpins” as high‑level targets, naming Jesus Avila Villadiego, alias Chiquito Malo, with a 5 billion peso ($1.37m) reward; the announcement echoed Petro’s closed‑door White House meeting with US President Donald Trump.

🔴 The suspension jeopardises a December 5 “commitment to peace” and planned March demobilisation to temporary zones, after the government had earlier suspended arrest warrants for EGC commanders and the US designated the group a foreign terrorist organisation.
