Several German Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets took off on Thursday from the Nörvenich air base, near Köln, heading towards the Polish air base in Malbork, southeast of Gdansk, to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, according to Agerpres. The German air forces have stated that the relocation is a response to the most recent violations by Russia of NATO’s airspace in the Baltic region, in addition to kamikaze drone incursions. The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, announced the displacement in mid-October. This is planned to last until March. “With this mission, our troops make a valuable contribution to the protection of…

Even in the midst of negotiating an armistice with Kiev, Vladimir Putin persists in his strategy of “russification” of the occupied territories. With the announcement of the conquest of Pokrovsk, Putin, dressed in military uniform, has set out to transform the Ukrainians in Donbass into “true Russians” over the next ten years. The term appears in the new “National State Political Strategy”, writes Avvenire, a document signed by Putin, in which he entrusts the occupied administrations to loyalists, spies, and criminals, disguising them as promoters of a “homogeneous” identity and territorial integration. At the heart of the plan is the…

Never in the recent history of the United States has there been such a pronounced rupture between the position of a president and public opinion on a major foreign policy issue. Americans do not want military involvement in other conflicts, and Trump says the same. However, the differences arise where it matters most: in how each sees the end of the war in Ukraine and its long-term consequences, writes The Hill. For Trump, the war seems just another crisis in which he can play the role of the providential negotiator. A “humanitarian” halt to hostilities, regardless of the costs to…

Political science professor at Loughborough University in London and expert on Russian affairs, Cristian Nițoiu explains, in an interview for “Adevărul”, why the risk of a confrontation between NATO and Russia is increasing day by day and what the most plausible scenarios of a military intervention in Ukraine would be. Between promises of peace and the specter of war, hope is receding and diplomacy is proving powerless in the face of pragmatic transactions. Tensions between Ukraine’s European allies and Russia are reaching new heights, and the risk of escalation is increasing day by day. On Tuesday, December 2, Russian President…

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the one who approved the Novichok neurotoxic agent attack on ex-GRU colonel Sergei Skripal in 2018, concludes an independent investigation conducted in the UK, according to Agerpres, which quotes Reuters. It was a “stunning act of recklessness” that led to the death of an innocent British woman, the investigation concludes, made public on Thursday. Putin bears the “moral responsibility” for the death of this woman, a collateral victim of the assassination attempt on Skripal, who survived the attack, the investigators further state. Skripal was found along with his daughter, Julia, unconscious on a bench in…

Vladimir Putin’s two-day visit to India, his first in 2022 since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, will include significant discussions on military cooperation between the two countries. According to Bloomberg, the Russian Federation and India have concluded a multi-year negotiation process for the Indian army to lease a nuclear submarine. The event can be seen as a turning point for the government in New Delhi, which has been attempting to perform a tense balancing act between Russia and Western countries in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. In the past, the US threatened to impose sanctions after…

French President Emmanuel Macron warned in a phone call attended by several European leaders on Monday that the US could “betray” Ukraine on the issue of ceding territories that the Russian army has not occupied on the front, according to revelations made by the publication Der Spiegel. During the talks, Emmanuel Macron directly addressed a concern of Europeans and Ukraine in the context of discussions about peace negotiations. “There is a possibility that the US could betray Ukraine on the issue of territory, without clarity regarding security guarantees,” Macron said, according to the cited source. He added that there is…

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in an interview with India Today that some proposals from the US plan to end the war in Ukraine are unacceptable for the Kremlin, saying that any agreement is still far from being concluded. He also spoke about the negotiations with Witkoff, which he said took a very long time. “It lasted 5 hours. Honestly, even I got tired. Five hours is too much,” Putin said. Putin stated that his five-hour talks on Tuesday at the Kremlin with Witkoff and Kushner were “necessary” and “useful”, but also “hard work”, and some proposals were unacceptable. Putin…

Russia is using the same narratives it previously used to justify its war in Ukraine, but this time they are directed against the Republic of Moldova and the Baltic states, members of NATO, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Recently, the head of diplomacy in Moscow, Sergei Lavrov, accused authorities in the Baltic states and in the Republic of Moldova of adopting “racist laws” and of discriminating against the Russian population. The Institute for the Study of War stated that Lavrov’s claims closely resemble the Kremlin’s narratives used to justify the war in Ukraine. “The OSCE…

Volodimir Zelenski’s plane was followed by four military-type drones before landing, on Monday, at Dublin airport. The drones took off from a location in the northeast of the Irish capital and headed towards the flight path of the aircraft in which the Ukrainian president was traveling, violating a no-fly zone, notes The Independent. Irish authorities are investigating the incident, but cannot yet comment on the most important details: where the drones came from and who controlled them. It seems that the drones missed their target, which was Zelenski’s plane, and veered towards the LÉ William Butler Yeats, a military ship…
