Vladimir Putin’s high-power project seems to be approaching the “end of an era”, as the Kremlin leader proves incapable of defending his allies, from Caracas to Tehran, against an unexpectedly aggressive American president, Donald Trump, writes Politico. When he ordered the invasion of Ukraine, Putin promised the Russians that “they will do it again”: that the Russian army will advance to the West and achieve a quick victory, similar to the one the Soviet Union achieved against Nazi Germany. Nearly four years after the start of the conflict, the Russian president has only kept half of his promise. The war…

The death of a Russian diplomat found hanged in the premises of the Russian Embassy in Cyprus has raised questions, against the backdrop of escalating tensions between Moscow and Nicosia and suspicions of espionage activities. Aleksei Panov, 41, was found dead on January 8 in the complex of the Russian embassy in the Cypriot capital, Nicosia. Officially, Panov held the position of third secretary of the diplomatic mission. However, sources cited by independent researchers suggest that he was an officer of the Russian military intelligence service GRU. Cypriot authorities were notified four days after the discovery of the body. The…

The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated on Tuesday that, if the inhabitants of this autonomous territory had to choose, at this moment, between Denmark and the USA, they would choose to stay in Denmark, reports Agerpres, quoting EFE news agency. “Greenland wants no one to own or control it. If we had to choose right now between the USA and Denmark, then we choose Denmark. This is not the time for internal divergences, but the time to be united,” Nielsen declared at a joint press conference with the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen. Nielsen reiterated that Greenland “is…

Sunday, January 11, marked a new significant stage for the war in Ukraine: 1,418 days. This is the duration of the Soviet army’s fight against Germany from June 22, 1941, until Victory Day on May 9, 1945. This means that the war in Ukraine has already surpassed the period in which the USSR soldiers fought the Nazis in World War II, according to The Moscow Times, which added that the myth of Russia’s strength and invincibility has already been shattered. To separate this victory from its own complicity in the Nazi massacre in Europe, within the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, Soviet historians…

US President Donald Trump sent a message on his social network on Tuesday, urging Iranians to protest and take “control” of institutions. “Note the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a high price,” Trump writes, announcing that “help is on the way”. “Iranian patriots, CONTINUE THE PROTESTS – TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Note the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a high price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON THE WAY. MIGA!!! (ed. note: Make Iran Great Again) PRESIDENT DONALD J.…

The US plans to exploit Venezuela’s oil reserves could consume more than a tenth of the remaining global carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050, according to an exclusive analysis by ClimatePartner. The calculation highlights how any attempt to further exploit Venezuela’s oil reserves would put increasing pressure on climate goals and risk deepening the global climate catastrophe. Venezuela’s vast oil reserves could, if fully exploited, alone consume the maximum amount of carbon dioxide emissions allowed to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. Although the oil infrastructure is degraded after years of sanctions, President Donald Trump has…

The United Kingdom will develop a new tactical ballistic missile that – once operational (likely not before the end of the current year) – would restore to Ukrainian planners the ability to hit well-defended targets deep within Russia with the help of powerful, precision-guided munitions (PGM), according to official statements from the United Kingdom, reports Kyiv Post. In a statement released Sunday by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the British government launched a competition for the development of ground-launched ballistic missiles with a range of over 500 kilometers, capable of operating on a dangerous battlefield with strong electromagnetic interference.…

Vladimir Soloviov, one of the most vocal propagandists of Putin’s regime, suggested that Russia could collaborate with the United States to “liberate” Greenland — an ironic allusion, but not without substance, to the intentions of American President Donald Trump to “buy” the island from Denmark. The statements, broadcast on Russian state television, come in the context where Trump has harshly criticized NATO and resumed accusations against Europe, suggesting that the Alliance would become irrelevant if Washington loses interest in the region. “If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will,” said Trump, minimizing the role of the other NATO members.…

The two cases occurred at a time of increased tensions between Cyprus and Russia, writes The Sun. The death of the Russian diplomat According…
