Croatian right-wing singer Marko Perkovic and fans perform pro-Nazi salute at massive concert

Washington Post2 days ago
ZAGREB, Croatia — A hugely popular right-wing Croatian singer and hundreds of thousands of his fans performed a pro-Nazi World War II salute at a massive concert in Zagreb, drawing criticism.
One of Marko Perkovic's most popular songs, played in the late Staurday concert, starts with the dreaded 'For the homeland — Ready!' salute, used by Croatia's Nazi-era puppet Ustasha regime that ran concentration camps at the time.

Trump says US to send more weapons to Ukraine days after a Pentgon ordered pause in deliveries

President Donald Trump said that the United States will "have to" send more weapons to Ukraine. The decision comes just days after pausing key arms deliveries to Kyiv. His comments marked a sudden change of course. Last week, the Pentagon announced it would delay shipments of air defence missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons, citing concerns about falling stockpiles. However, on Monday, Trump said, 'We have to,' adding, 'They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now. We're going to send some more weapons — defensive weapons primarily.' The pause came at a difficult time for Ukraine. Russian forces have been stepping up air strikes, launching more frequent and complex attacks. On Monday, officials said Russian strikes had killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others, including seven children.

In a post on social media platform X, Zelenskyy said, 'We spoke about opportunities in air defence and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies.' Speaking during a dinner on Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump shared his growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'I'm not happy with President Putin at all,' Trump said.

The Pentagon has not immediately responded to a request for comment on Monday on whether the paused weapons shipments to Ukraine would resume.
