The United States Senate has decided to temporarily suspend the examination of a new sanctions package against the Russian Federation until President Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.

He added that Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the initiators of the bill, is in direct contact with the presidential administration…
The growth of bank deposits of the population in Russia slowed down in September 2025 to the lowest level in the last three years. According to the Central Bank, Russians only added 67 billion rubles (≈ 670 million euros) to their bank accounts, which brought the total savings to 62.7 trillion rubles (≈ 627 billion euros). August had seen a similar increase of 70 billion rubles (≈ 700 million euros). Excluding January — when expenses increase due to the holidays — September is the weakest month since August 2022. By comparison, in June and July 2025, deposits had increased by…
One of the most recent “financial recommendations” from the top of the Russian Ministry of Finance aims to transform the population into a state creditor. Deputy Minister Aleksei Moiseev stated in an interview for RBC that citizens should keep their savings in rubles, preferably in the form of federal bonds (ОФЗ) — that is, direct loans to the government. In his opinion, these instruments would be the best option for long-term savings, while bank deposits would only be suitable for short-term purposes. “There is no point in buying more currency,” Moiseev insisted, arguing that the ruble has strengthened and interest…
The Ukrainians have several important weapons that can make the famous Tomahawk missiles, which the Americans refuse to offer to Kiev, more or less forgotten. General (r) Alexandru Grumaz explains for „Adevărul”, what these are. The Ukrainians hoped in vain that they would receive the famous Tomahawk missiles, but as expected, the United States of America ultimately refused, hoping that this would convince Putin to come to the negotiating table. However, even without the Tomahawk, Ukrainians and Russians continue to slaughter each other cynically and mutually, the former being forced to defend themselves, and the latter forced by Putin and…
In the context of intensifying Russian drone attacks and an insufficient number of soldiers, a solution for Ukraine is to call upon civilian volunteers to operate interceptor drones and defend cities behind the front line, proposes the Ukrainian NGO Dignitas. Kiev already has thousands of civilians serving voluntarily in the territorial defense forces. “We want to allow volunteer groups, civilians, to intercept the Shahed drones,” said Liuba Șipovici, the head of the non-profit organization Dignitas, which raises funds and helps train drone operators. Dignitas is discussing with defense officials to develop a legal framework that would allow new units of…
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated that he will ask European allies to intensify their economic efforts to weaken Russia’s defense industry, in the context of uncertainties regarding the Trump administration’s support for Ukraine. Keir Starmer will address the issue at Friday’s meeting of the “Coalition of Will,” a group that brings together European countries that provide military support to Ukraine and are willing to guarantee Kiev’s security after the war, reports the dpa agency, quoted by Agerpres. Starmer’s statements come after last week’s meeting at the White House between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.…
A “division” of the Donbas region between Russians and Ukrainians, as recently suggested by Donald Trump, would represent a dangerous precedent for Romania, warned retired General Cristian Barbu on Monday, in an exclusive statement to Antena 3 CNN. “If things will be as those at the White House are now setting them, it means for us Europeans, that if Russia steps in and gains a handful of our territories through war, then that land will belong to Russia,” said General Barbu. “This means that we will have to continue to defend ourselves, to have a very clear policy of protecting…
The British media has sounded an alarm about the fact that Russian hackers have penetrated the computer systems of the UK Ministry of Defence, stealing sensitive data about military personnel and other information from the databases of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, reports Kyiv Post.

The transition of the entire territory of Donbas under Russian control, as desired by Russian President Vladimir Putin, could create the necessary conditions for the Russians to resume hostilities and attacks on Ukraine from more advantageous positions, at the right time for them, reports Focus.ua.

In return, the Kremlin leader again asked to take control over the entire territory of Donbas. According to the cited source, the Kremlin does not advance…
In the fall of 2025, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, announced the mobilization of two million reservists, allowing their deployment beyond the country’s borders. The decision comes in a context where international economic analysts signal difficulties in the Russian energy sector, and military experts note the intensification of nuclear discourse and a possible escalation of tensions with NATO. According to an analysis published by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and signed by strategist David Roche, although Russia’s economy is affected by the conflict in Ukraine, it could sustain, at least in the medium term, a new…
