Germany marked the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings with a stark warning that nuclear war "cannot be won and must never be fought," as Foreign Minister Wadephul condemned growing threats to the global nuclear order.

Russia declares it will no longer hold back on deploying intermediate-range nuclear missiles. This is because of the United States and NATO's plans to put similar weapons in Europe and Asia. Russia feels threatened by missile deployments in countries like Denmark and Australia.

Russia has announced it will no longer uphold its obligations under the intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) treaty, signed by the Soviet Union and the United States in December 1987. The decision has raises questions about the future of nuclear deterrence and the danger of global nuclear proliferation.
