Valerii Zalujnîi, the Ukrainian ambassador to London, did not come up with conspiracy theories, but with a cold observation: The Kremlin is turning diplomacy into a trap. In a text for The New York Post, he accuses Moscow of using the “exhaustion tactic” – negotiations not as a space for dialogue, but as an extension of the war. “Russian negotiators, like their generals, aim to exhaust and confuse you. We have been fighting for survival for 11 years. And yet, some in the West ask us to negotiate with people who came to kill us”, writes Zalujnîi, without mincing words.…
Lieutenant General Serghei Storojenko, commander of the 6th Combined Army of Russia, is the highest-ranking defector among those waging war against the country of his birth. He grew up in a village two hours by car west of the city of Kupiansk, which is under siege by Russian troops led by him, reports The Telegraph. He is tasked with the mission of recapturing this vital fortress on the northeastern edge of the front line, which has been under constant attack for two years. Kupiank was occupied in the early months of the war and liberated a few months later. Now…
A small-sized rocket, roughly the size of a breadstick, is presented as one of Europe’s most promising solutions to counter drone attacks launched by Russia. The device, named Mark 1, is developed by Frankenburg Technologies, led by former Estonian defense official, Kusti Salm. With a length of 65 centimeters – shorter than a human arm – the weapon is designed to be the first line of defense against long-range drones. “An affordable rocket, made for mass production” Frankenburg describes Mark 1 as a “pocket” rocket, designed to be mass-produced at low costs. The company claims that its price represents about…
“European countries can no longer avoid the <<Russian issue>>, as Russia has chosen war”, states a report from the French Institute for International Relations. Foreign policy analyst Ștefan Popescu explains what should concern us about this report. “European countries can no longer avoid the ‘Russian issue’, as Russia has chosen war. They have the necessary potential – that is, economic means, military capabilities and technological expertise – to confront Russia until 2030, provided they demonstrate the political will to do so”, it is stated in the report of the French Institute for International Relations (IFRI) titled “Europe-Russia: assessing the balance…
Three out of four members of Russia’s political elite use their influence to help their children and relatives get government jobs. Vladimir Putin tops the list of Kremlin leaders who have hired relatives in public administration, or in companies doing business with the Russian state, according to a study cited by the Moscow Times. Cases of nepotism are present in almost all key areas in Russia: industry, finance, defense, energy, agriculture, media, and social networks. The most common cases of nepotism that have led to the creation of real “clans” are found in the Federation Council of Russia (where 86%…
At this moment, the West is conducting an “artificial selection” of Ukrainians with the aim of turning them into “single-use robots” for the sole purpose of “destroying the Russians” and Russian culture equally, declared the godfather of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Viktor Medvedchuk, former Ukrainian parliamentarian, in an article published on the propaganda platform Smotrim.ru, picked up by Moscow Times. “The illegitimate leader (here Medvedchuk adopts the official Moscow propaganda, according to which Zelensky is an illegitimate president at this moment, because his mandate has expired and no presidential elections were organized in Ukraine – ed.) has approved the West’s…
Sergey Lavrov announced that he is ready to meet with the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in a context where their previous meeting was considered a failure and fueled rumors about the sidelining of the Russian official. The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, conveyed on Sunday, November 9, that he is prepared for a meeting with the head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio, emphasizing, however, that Russia’s position regarding the war in Ukraine remains unchanged. At a time when dialogue between Washington and Moscow seems to be suspended between negotiation attempts and political blockages, Sergey Lavrov insisted that Russia…
The Ukrainian army uses fishing nets sent by fishermen from Brittany, France, to catch drones and protect civilians and soldiers. The charitable organization Kernic Solidarités has shipped two transports, with a total length of 280 km. The lifespan of a deep-sea fishing net is 1-2 years, after which they become worn out. So far, the approximately 800 tons of nets discarded each year have posed a problem, writes The Guardian. Now, the nets made from horsehair, once used for sea bass fishing, are repurposed for another use: to stop Russian drones. The Breton charity Kernic Solidarités has sent two shipments…
On the night of November 9, the armed forces of Ukraine attacked the Voronezh region. The governor of the region, Aleksandr Gusev, announced that a “communal objective” was engulfed in flames, which led to the temporary suspension of electricity supply in certain areas of the regional capital. At the same time, “for technological security reasons”, measures were taken that led to a decrease in temperature in the centralized heating system of the residences, the official specified. The target of the attack was the TETs-1 thermal-electric power plant, which supplies energy to four districts of the city of Voronezh, as well…
Instructors who fought for Wagner in Africa trained agents in camps in the Balkan forests. These agents were sent to sabotage the elections in Moldova, to storm the capital of Romania, and to fight in Ukraine – the same personnel, modular missions. In January 2025, about 300 mercenaries under the command of the Romanian-French fighter Horațiu Potra were captured in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Subsequently, they were taken over by the UN and “repatriated”. Nine months later, European police carried out searches in 70 locations in the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, targeting 654 suspects affiliated with the Wagner…
