President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday warned European powers that if they started a war with Russia then Moscow was ready to fight and that the defeat of European powers would be so absolute that there would be no one left to even negotiate a peace deal.

Four years into the Ukraine war, the deadliest European conflict in Europe since World War Two, Russia has failed to conquer Ukraine, a much smaller neighbour which has been supported by European powers and the United States.

Emmanuel Macron has stated that only Ukraine can make decisions on its territories, not Russia or anybody else.

The EU leaders have stated that they’re not willing to give Belgium a “blank check” guarantee regarding the frozen Russian assets held in Euroclear.

Many EU leaders have criticized the Belgian PM Bart de Wever for making “excessive demands”.
This leave the EU with only one other option: to borrow in order to ensure Ukraine’s funding for the next two years.
This option is highly unpopular because it would use taxpayer money.

The EU leaders are also afraid of a potential deal between Russia and the U.S., a deal which would leave Europe in a very uncomfortable position.

The Cold SuperMoon - The 12th and Final Full Moon of 2025 - will rise on Dec. 4 and reach its highest point in the night sky

December's Cold Moon always climbs higher in the sky than any other full moon of the year.

As the winter solstice nears on Dec. 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun appears at its lowest in the sky during the day.
In contrast, the full moon — which, by definition, is opposite the sun — rises to its highest at night.

Skywatchers are in for a stunning spectacle this week when the second-biggest full moon of 2025, the Cold Supermoon, rises in the east at dusk and appears higher in the night sky than any other full moon of the year.

Officially full at 6:14 p.m. EST on Thursday (Dec. 4), the moon will rise in the east within the constellation Taurus. Although the moon is technically full at a specific moment, it's most visually impressive at the time of moonrise where you are, when it appears largest near the horizon.

NATIVE AMERICAN NAMES: According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, Native American names for December's full moon include

the Frost Exploding Trees Moon (Cree),
the Moon of the Popping Trees (Oglala),
the Moon When the Deer Shed Their Antlers (Dakota),
the Winter Maker Moon (Western Abenaki),
the Cold Moon (Mohawk) and
the Long Night Moon (Mohican).

The latter comes from this full moon's closeness to the winter solstice, which occurs on Dec. 21 this year.

ANGLO AND SAZON NAMES for December's full moon are

the Moon Before Yule and
the Long Night Moon, according to Time and Date.

The next full moon will be the Wolf Moon on Jan. 3, 2026, the fourth and final supermoon in a row. It will be the first of 13 full moons in 2026, thanks to a Blue Moon — the second full moon in a calendar month — occurring in May 2026.
