The empire version proposed by Vladimir Putin proves to be unviable, rapidly approaching its denouement, while the Russian Federation is paying for the effects of a major strategic error: the invasion of Ukraine. Behind the scenes, the new tsar at the Kremlin is forced to navigate through increasingly acute factional disputes, in an environment where oligarchic elites and those from security services are vying for influence, watching for signs of his weakness, write analysts Andrei Piontkovsky and Anton Eremin, in Kyiv Post. A subtle but extremely valuable indicator of these internal tensions is the show “The Great Game” from the…
Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to promote the development of a new generation of strategic weapons that the Kremlin presents as capable of changing the global military balance. Among the systems under development or already tested are autonomous nuclear torpedoes, hypersonic missiles, nuclear propulsion weapons, and space technologies that Western officials warn could threaten the global satellite infrastructure. Security analysts say that the new programs reflect a profound deterioration of the international armament control architecture, in a context where many of the treaties between Washington and Moscow have been suspended or abandoned, writes Daily Mail.

Vladimir Putin aims to convince Xi Jinping, with whom he is meeting on Tuesday, during his 25th visit to China, to accept the construction of the “Power of Siberia 2” gas pipeline.

According to the source cited by the agency, Moscow’s objective is to reach…
Following the attacks of the Ukrainians in Moscow, Russian Z propagandists have openly started discussing the replacement of Putin, in the context of the stalemate on the front. The Telegram channel “The Sixth Day | ROMAN ROMANOV”, with over 30,000 subscribers, wrote that Putin “has never stepped in front of the people” after Ukraine’s biggest attack on Moscow and is afraid to stand with the Russians during a war he himself initiated. The propagandist writes that Putin is no longer capable of fulfilling his duties and does not know how to end the war with Ukraine and, therefore, must be…
In an unusual attempt to counteract aerial attacks, the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church in the city of Perm organized a religious procession and a prayer service, carrying an icon of the Mother of God through the city streets, with the declared aim of “protecting” the area from Ukrainian drones, reports the Russian publication Ostorojno Novosti. The event took place on May 12 and was initiated by the head of the Perm Metropolitanate, in the context of repeated attacks targeting the industrial infrastructure in the region. Representatives of the Perm Diocese supported the initiative, asserting that such processions have…
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel urges the EU to use all diplomatic tools in dialogue with Russia and to help end the war in Ukraine, according to Politico. “I believe that the military support we have provided so far is absolutely correct. I also believe it is right to do much more to create a deterrent effect beyond our support for Ukraine. What I regret is that, in my opinion, Europe is not using its diplomatic potential sufficiently,” Merkel said in an interview with the public television station WDR. “It is not enough for Trump to maintain contact with Russia,”…
Moscow is Russia, therefore drones flying over the Russian capital could lead to civil unrest, something that Putin is very much afraid of, said Garry Kasparov. The transfer of the war to Moscow could signify the beginning of the end for the current regime in Russia. The Russian opponent expressed his opinion on the situation in Russia during the broadcast of “Free Russia Forum” aired on YouTube. “According to Ukrainian standards, if we look at what is happening in Kiev and other cities, this attack on Moscow is a warm-up. But the fact that the war has reached Moscow has…
The global economy could face a recession in the coming weeks, due to the energy crisis caused by the conflict between the United States and Iran. The warning comes from financial experts quoted by the British publication Daily Mail. Approximately 80 countries have already introduced fuel rationing measures, as the price of oil risks exceeding the threshold of 180 dollars per barrel. The increase is fueled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the maritime route through which approximately a fifth of the world’s oil production transits. Economists and traders warn that, in the absence of a swift resolution…
