Ukraine's drone attack in Russia shows Kyiv felt it had nothing to lose
An audacious Ukrainian drone attack against multiple airbases across Russia is a humiliating security breach for Vladimir Putin that will doubtless trigger a furious response. Pro-Kremlin bloggers have described - which Ukrainian security sources said hit more than 40 Russian warplanes - as "Russia's Pearl Harbor" in reference to the Japanese attack against the US in 1941 that prompted Washington to enter the Second World War. Ukraine war latest: The Ukrainian operation - which used small drones smuggled into , hidden in mobile sheds and launched off the back of trucks - also demonstrated how technology and imagination have transformed the battlefield, enabling to seriously hurt its far more powerful opponent. Moscow will have to retaliate, with speculation already appearing online about whether President Putin will again threaten the use of nuclear weapons. "We hope that the response will be the same as the US response to the attack on their Pearl Harbor or even harsher," military blogger Roman Alekhin wrote on his Telegram channel. Codenamed 'Spider's Web', the mission on Sunday was the culmination of one and a half years of planning, according to a security source. In that time, Ukraine's secret service smuggled first-person view (FPV) drones into Russia, sources with knowledge of the operation said. Flat-pack, garden-office style sheds were also secretly transported into the country. The oblong sheds were then built and drones were hidden inside, before the containers were put on the back of trucks and driven to within range of their respective targets. At a chosen time, doors on the roofs of the huts were opened remotely and the drones were flown out. Each was armed with a bomb that was flown into the airfields, with videos released by the security service that purportedly showed them blasting into Russian aircraft. Among the targets were Tu-95 and Tu-22 bomber aircraft that can launch cruise missiles, according to the Ukrainian side. An A-50 airborne early warning aircraft was also allegedly hit. This is a valuable platform that is used to command and control operations. The use of such simple technology to destroy multi-million-pound aircraft will be watched with concern by governments around the world. Suddenly, every single military base, airfield and warship will appear that little bit more vulnerable if any truck nearby could be loaded with killer drones. Read more: The most immediate focus, though, will be on how Mr Putin responds. Previous attacks by Ukraine inside Russia have triggered retaliatory strikes and increasingly threatening rhetoric from the Kremlin. But this latest operation is one of the biggest and most significant, and comes on the eve of a new round of peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv that are meant to take place in Turkey. It is not clear if that will still happen. US President Donald Trump has been pushing for the two sides to make peace but Russia has only escalated its war. Ukraine clearly felt it had nothing to lose but to also go on the attack.

Why Oasis Management's Seth Fischer traveled across the world to do 10-minute pitches at 3 conferences in 16 days
There are road warriors, and then there's Seth Fischer. The founder of Oasis Management, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund, Fischer was at the dais at the Sohn conference's flagship New York event on May 14, pitching Japanese electronics manufacturer Kyocera. Two weeks later, the Israel Defense Forces veteran was in Canada at Sohn's inaugural Montreal event, where he presented on Round One, a Japanese arcade chain that has expanded to the US. Friday, he was back home in Hong Kong — and speaking from the Sohn podium about Round One again, calling the company's CEO, Masahiko Sugino, a wizard. In between all the presentations, he also visited Switzerland and Israel, he told Business Insider in an email. He said he's happy to help the Sohn Foundation, which focuses on childhood cancer research and prevention and is named after Ira Sohn, a young finance professional who died from cancer at the age of 29. The conference has been a staple in the investment management industry's calendar for decades, with Greenlight founder David Einhorn, Point72 CEO Steve Cohen, and D1 Capital boss Dan Sundheim among the big names who have previously spoken. Many who speak at the event pitch an investment idea, often a stock, in 10 minutes or less. The Sohn Foundation in Hong Kong works with the Karen Leung Foundation, which was started in honor of Fischer's former colleague, who died of cancer in 2012. Fischer is a cofounder of the Karen Leung Foundation. "We think it's a great cause, so really just happy to help. We're currently closed to new investors, so this is not a marketing trip," said Fischer, who declined to share the firm's current assets under management. He is equally passionate about the companies he pitched and Japanese equities in general. He wrote that corporate governance adoption should be a boon for the Asian nation's stocks. "Value is being unlocked by better management, ending related party transactions, enhancing margins, having accountability at the board level, and improving shareholder returns," said Fischer, who founded Oasis in 2002 after seven years at Glenn Dubin and Henry Swieca's Highbridge Capital. He said he gets adjusted to new time zones and cities by running — he logged miles in three different continents this past week — and by being "very serious" about sleeping on planes. "For fun, I'm running, reading, and listening to podcasts and Audible," he said. He just finished "Everything is Tuberculosis", John Green's latest book on the disease. "Maybe that doesn't make me sound like too fun of a guy, but it's been a very good listen."

Trump admin live updates: White House drops NASA nominee with Musk ties
The senate was slated to vote on Jared Isaacman next week. 3:08 President Donald Trump on Friday claimed China violated its trade agreement with the U.S. and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said talks between the world's two largest economies stalled. This week, Trump's global tariff policy hit a major roadblock as two federal courts ruled he does not have the power to unilaterally impose some levies. The tariffs can stay in place, for now, as the court considers the administration's appeal. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is leaving his role as a "special government employee" but is expected to remain an unofficial adviser to Trump. Latest headlines: May 31, 2025, 4:24 PM EDT White House pulls NASA nominee Jared Isaacman, billionaire with Musk ties May 30, 2025, 8:11 PM EDT Trump touts US Steel-Nippon deal May 30, 2025, 6:13 PM EDT Trump says he's doubling tariffs on steel imports to 50% May 30, 2025, 2:42 PM EDT Trump on possible pardon for Diddy: 'I would certainly look at the facts' Here's how the news is developing. May 31, 2025, 4:24 PM EDT White House pulls NASA nominee Jared Isaacman, billionaire with Musk ties The White House withdrew Saturday the nomination of Jared Isaacman to become the next NASA administrator just days before his scheduled confirmation vote in the Senate. "It's essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump's America First agenda and a replacement will be announced directly by President Trump soon," Liz Huston, a spokesperson for the White House said in a statement. Isaacman, who is the CEO of the payment processing company Shift4, has had a long history with Musk and worked with SpaceX on commercial flights into space. Isaacman attempted to distance himself from Musk during his confirmation hearing as he was getting grilled by Democrats on the committee. Musk and Trump have emphasized their desire to prioritize Mars, whereas Isaacman clarified during questioning that a lunar landing would take precedence over a Mars mission. In a post on social media, Trump confirmed he had pulled the nomination. "After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA," Trump said without elaborating. "I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space." May 30, 2025, 8:11 PM EDT Trump touts US Steel-Nippon deal President Donald Trump on Friday touted a "blockbuster agreement" between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel that he said would keep the iconic U.S. steelmaker in Pittsburgh -- though he previously opposed such a merger and offered few details on the intricacies of the deal. Trump discussed the deal during a rally at the Irvin Works plant in Allegheny County on Friday evening. President Donald Trump said he will double the tariff imposed on imports of steel from 25% to 50%. Trump made the announcement during a rally in Pennsylvania on Friday to discuss the "partnership" between U.S. Steel and Japan-based Nippon Steel. Trump said the increase in steel tariffs "will even further secure the steel industry in the United States." Trump imposed the 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum in March, about a month before he announced sweeping across-the-board tariffs on what he called " Liberation Day." In a follow-up post on social media, Trump said the increased rate would go into effect June 4. May 30, 2025, 2:51 PM EDT Musk says his child punched him in the face Elon Musk, wearing all black, had a visible bruise over his right eye while speaking at the Oval Office. Asked what happened, Musk said his 5-year-old son punched him in the face. "I said, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face.' And, he did," Musk said.
