Although China has reduced its total exports to Russia by over 10% this year, some categories of goods were exempted. According to an investigation conducted by The Washington Post, deliveries of drone components – used by Russia in the war against Ukraine – have increased more than tenfold. In the first half of 2025, the Russian army was on the verge of regaining the initiative in the drone war, after it began to intensively use, especially after the counteroffensive in the Kursk region, drones connected by fiber optic cables. These extremely thin wires allow drone control without the risk of…
In order to reduce the costs of treatments, Russians should be allowed to buy individual pills, not just boxes, stated Ayrat Farrahov, a State Duma deputy and member of the Budget and Taxes Committee, for “FederalPress”. In his opinion, this measure would not only make medicines more accessible, but would also reduce the amount of expired medicines in people’s homes. “We often have headaches and need one or two pills. Why should we buy ten? The dose does not match the amount in the package, and the pills end up being thrown away. For pensioners, this matters,” the deputy said.…
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the National Police have detained eight Russian agents involved in sabotage operations in southern Ukraine, as well as two individuals from western Ukraine whom the Russian secret services tried to manipulate into committing arson attacks. “These turned out to be men aged between 19 and 73, remotely recruited by the enemy under the pretext of ‘easy gains’. Another two were deceived by Russians posing as SSU officers”, the agency stated, according to News. In Odessa, security officers caught a local unemployed man “in flagrante” while trying to plant an improvised explosive device (IED)…
According to an analysis by Politico, both Ukraine and Russia are suffering massive losses on the front. Moscow has lost 281,550 soldiers in the war in the first eight months of this year, while in February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky estimated that over 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war and 390,000 have been injured. Both sides need new recruits, which are hard to find, so Ukraine and Russia have diversified their search methods. The number of Ukrainian soldiers is smaller because it has largely been on the defensive, while attackers tend to suffer greater…
President Nicuşor Dan stated that the Republic of Moldova is not in danger of being attacked by Russia, as long as Ukraine is not defeated in war. “The Republic of Moldova only has two neighbors, Ukraine and Romania. Fortunately, Ukraine is holding on, meaning Moldova cannot be accessed from this direction, and even less so from Romania, which is a NATO member. So, as long as Ukraine is holding on, this danger does not exist”, Nicuşor Dan clarified, in an interview for stirileprotv.ro. The head of state made these clarifications after being asked whether Romania would intervene to defend its…
On the occasion of the summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, the US President, Donald Trump, had several moments where he nominated and praised his close allies, including those from the European Union, notes CNN.

The leader of the United States…
Russia has used cryptocurrencies to fund networks of saboteurs in Europe, involved in actions specific to hybrid warfare, from drone incursions to the destruction of critical infrastructure in NATO states, according to the head of Poland’s national security office, Sławomir Cenckiewicz, quoted by Financial Times. By using cryptocurrencies, Russia has tried to prevent intelligence services from tracking payments, the high-ranking Polish security official further said. He also said that evidence shared with Western intelligence services showed that Russia is using its shadow fleet to launch drones into European airspace. A network of agents recruited by Russia’s military intelligence agency GRU…
President Volodimir Zelenski reported, citing Ukrainian secret services, that Russia has over 500 oil tankers in its phantom fleet, ships that operate under the flag of other countries. The statement was made at a meeting with journalists, according to reports from Interfax-Ukraine. “According to our data, there are over 500 such tanks. They must be completely stopped, as this would have a significant impact on energy trade and European security. These tanks are also among the platforms used by Russia for launching drones.” Zelenski emphasized the importance of continuing sanctions against the hidden Russian fleet, citing as an example France’s…
Vladimir Putin has once again stoked tensions with the West, announcing that Russia is on the verge of unveiling a new “wonder-weapon”, which he claims is already in the final stages of testing. The statement, made following a visit to Tajikistan, was interpreted as a cryptic message with a nuclear undertone, given that Washington is not rushing to negotiate a new strategic arms reduction treaty, according to Kyiv Post. On Friday, Vladimir Putin hinted that Moscow is preparing to reveal a new weapon from the category of those “once announced”, a statement with a warning of a nuclear threat to…
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski is the main obstacle to peace in Ukraine, as currently neither Russia, the United States, nor even Europe oppose negotiations to end this war, stated Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko. “I tended to blame European leaders for their inability to reach agreements, but I received a lot of information in recent days that it’s not the USA, which wants progress on this issue, nor Russia, which is ready to negotiate, nor European leaders, but the problem lies with Zelenski,” he argued, in statements broadcast on Russian public television on Sunday. Lukashenko, who has already urged his Ukrainian…
