Russia's Leader, Vlad, mulling over an invasion of NATO's vulnerable point, potentially marked by accumulated blood reserves and espionage aircraft stationed near his borderlands.

In the early hours of Sunday, a tragic incident unfolded in Ukraine as a drone barrage launched by Putin resulted in the death of a baby, along with three other individuals. This is just the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict that shows no signs of ending.

The potential threats to the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are a cause for concern, with the events leading up to the invasion of Ukraine serving as a cautionary tale. The Suwalki Gap, a 60-mile strip of land between Poland and Lithuania, is a critical area due to its proximity to Kaliningrad and Belarus. Seizing the Suwalki Gap could potentially cut off the Baltic States from their NATO allies, and if taken by Russia, the countries directly affected would be Poland and Lithuania. This could also impact NATO's Baltic states, particularly Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, by threatening their land connection to the rest of Europe.

The ongoing tension has seen increased Russian military presence in Kaliningrad and Belarus, snap military drills, and unusual troop movements. Putin's hybrid warfare strategy includes economic pressure, communications attacks, and the spread of disinformation, as well as more aggressive tactics such as GPS jamming, sabotage of undersea cables, and the use of "little green men" to ferment unrest among Russian-speaking minorities.

The use of massive propaganda campaigns by the Kremlin is a concern, as it often precedes future attacks. Putin has warned British and NATO peacekeeping troops sent to Ukraine that they will be seen as "legitimate targets."

Meanwhile, China celebrated the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two with 50,000 spectators, including 26 international leaders, in attendance. Chinese President Xi Jinping warned the world would soon face a choice between "peace or war," spearheading a new world order alongside North Korea and Russia. Beijing unveiled new laser weapons, hypersonic nuclear missiles, robot dogs, and high tech drones during the event.

In response, 26 countries have confirmed their willingness to send troops to Ukraine if a permanent ceasefire can be agreed, in order to maintain border security. The Sun investigates potential signs of a Russian invasion of NATO, focusing on the "Achilles heel" known as the Suwalki Gap.

However, Putin claimed it would be "impossible" to make a peace deal with Volodymyr Zelensky just days after inviting him to Moscow. The latest threats from Moscow came as Putin staged massive new strikes on Ukraine with at least 157 drones and multiple missiles hitting ten locations, resulting in a woman's death along with her two-month-old son and dozens of injuries.

As the world watches the situation unfold, the hope remains for a peaceful resolution and an end to the suffering of the innocent people caught in the crossfire.
