A potential decision by the United States to supply Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles will lead to the \”destruction of Russo-American relations\”, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared in an interview highlighted on Sunday by The Moscow Times. The Tomahawk missiles have a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, being capable of hitting targets deep within Russian territory. \”I have already said that this will lead to the destruction of our relations, or at least the emerging positive trends in these relations. I say what I think, and the way things will evolve does not depend only on us and…
During the massive attack carried out by Russia with missiles and drones on Ukraine on the night of October 4 to 5, at least three Chinese reconnaissance satellites were observed over the western regions of the country, the most affected by the attack, writes The Moscow Times, citing the publication “Military” and data from the Heavens Above monitoring service. These would be the Yaogan 33, Yaogan 33-03, and Yaogan 33-04 satellites. They were reported over the Lviv region, making a total of nine passes over this area between midnight and 11:30. Subsequently, the Yaogan 34 reconnaissance satellite was also observed.…
On Friday morning, hot water supply was stopped in the cities of Dubăsari and Grigoriopol, and around 1:00 PM, the same measure was applied in Tiraspol, Tighina, Râbnița, and Sucleia. At the same time, the sale of liquefied gas was halted at the PECO stations in the Transnistrian region, which will be delivered exclusively to emergency and military services, reports the IPN correspondent from the left bank of the Nistru. As a compensatory measure, the Dubăsari Hydroelectric Power Plant increased its energy production from 24 to 36 megawatts. This was possible due to an additional water discharge from the Novodnistrovsk…
A vast infrastructure of disinformation coordinated by the Russian Federation has been used since 2022 to create an anti-system perception, which was shaped in key contexts, such as the 2024 presidential elections. This is the main conclusion of the report presented by President Nicușor Dan to European leaders. The report mentions that this infrastructure operated on four levels: cyber attacks, secret destabilizing actions, political subversion, and disinformation and propaganda. “Romania was the preferred target of extensive hybrid campaigns in the context of the 2024 electoral scrutiny, hostile actors aiming to continuously shape public opinion, destabilize the decision-making capacity of government…
Norway has launched a military training center for Ukrainian soldiers, Camp Jomsborg, at the border with Ukraine, in Poland. The project, one of the largest of its kind in Norway’s history, will train up to 1,200 soldiers simultaneously and will utilize Ukraine’s experience from the ongoing war, reports TVP World. The Polish Minister of Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, was accompanied at the inauguration ceremony by his Norwegian counterpart, Tore O.

By attacking science, Donald Trump risks making the United States lose its place as a leading nation in scientific research, with repercussions around the world, warn the Nobel Prize officials. This, while the American president desires the Nobel Peace Prize. However, the chances of him receiving it are slim, experts believe. Since taking office, the American president has cut millions of dollars from public funding, attacked the academic freedom of universities, and overseen mass layoffs of scientists from federal agencies. During the Nobel science awards ceremony, which will take place in Stockholm starting Monday, American researchers might still fare well:…
The transformation of Ukraine into one of the main military powers of Europe, specializing in the use of drones and other innovative technologies, represents Vladimir Putin’s biggest nightmare. However, it is a nightmare that has become reality precisely because of the Russian aggression that led to the expansion and modernization of the Ukrainian army, and now several NATO countries are trying to learn from Ukraine’s experience to strengthen their own troops and military capabilities. Several Ukrainian military personnel arrived in Denmark this week to share their knowledge about operating military drones with their Danish colleagues, after the Nordic country faced…
As public support for the continuation of the war drops to a historical low, the Kremlin intensifies its propaganda. Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov are trying to rewrite reality, presenting NATO and the European Union as aggressors, while Russia declares itself a victim, reports Politico. In recent weeks, Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia have reported incursions of Russian drones and aircraft, which NATO has described as “an increasingly irresponsible pattern of behavior”. However, Moscow turns the situation around, arguing that it is Europe that is provoking a larger conflict, even suggesting that it could shoot down Russian planes in the future.…
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reshaped generations of start-ups and attracted investors who have introduced a completely new business model in the construction of European military arsenals. Governments around the world are spending trillions of dollars to prepare for a new type of conflict, dominated by technology, and this wave of funding is profoundly transforming the way modern nations equip their armies, writes The New York Times. In Europe, where Moscow is using drones to bomb Ukraine and test NATO’s resilience, a new generation of companies is no longer waiting for state-funded projects. Instead, start-ups are attracting private capital to…
It’s time to change the way we think about Ukraine. It’s not about saving it, but about how it can save other countries. Since the beginning of Russia’s large-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukraine has been seen as a victim – destined for defeat. It was believed to have truth on its side, but would lose without external support. This approach flattered Ukraine’s Western allies, as it placed them at the center of the story, says Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s special representative for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Although Ukraine is indeed an innocent victim of a brutal war, this definition hides another…
