The European Union has summoned Russia’s chief diplomat in Brussels, after Moscow warned foreign citizens and accredited diplomats in Kiev to leave the city ahead of new strikes on the Ukrainian capital, notes Kyiv Post. “The threat from Russia to foreign citizens and diplomats to leave Kiev represents an unacceptable escalation,” stated the EU spokesperson, Anitta Hipper, in a statement published on Tuesday. She clarified that the Russian representative was told that in Kiev they must “stop hitting civilians.” The move from Brussels came after the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Monday that Russian forces have begun “systematic…
The recent massive strikes on Kiev are not just isolated retaliatory actions, but mark the beginning of Moscow’s military strategy for the summer of 2026. While the Kremlin is trying to suffocate Ukrainian defense and threatens to turn the capital into an “uninhabitable” place, Kiev is activating its own counter-strategic plan: surgical strikes deep into Russian territory and the development of a cheaper analogue of the Patriot system. According to an analysis published by the German daily Bild, Moscow stubbornly maintains its objective of conquering the entire Donbas basin, despite the fierce resistance posed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine…
In the Primorsk Region, extensive restrictions have been introduced on the supply of electricity and hot water, due to the increase in the population’s arrears for communal services. “The reason is the critical increase in the population’s debts for energy resources — the sum of which has exceeded 5.8 billion rubles,” announced the press service of the energy company DEK. In the following days, mobile teams composed of representatives from energy providers, management companies, and network operators will begin disconnecting consumers with debts. Approximately 13,000 notifications have already been sent out. If the arrears are not paid within 20 days,…
The advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Sergei Beskrestnov, known by the codename “Flash”, asserts that Ukraine will respond symmetrically if Russia intensifies attacks on Kiev and critical Ukrainian infrastructure. The official commented on the threats recently launched by Moscow regarding new strikes on the Ukrainian capital. “Unfortunately, the attacks will continue. But we will also respond. If they try to terrorize Kiev, our businesses, and decision-making centers, the response will be very painful for Russia”, declared “Flash”. According to him, the Kremlin’s aggressive rhetoric reflects more Moscow’s frustration due to the lack of results on the front and…
The Speaker of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, stated that the use of Western weapons and satellite technologies for strikes on “civilian targets” could force Russia to use weapons “that will leave no trace of anyone”. The statement was made following the attack by Ukrainian forces on the occupied city of Starobelsk on May 22. According to the Ukrainian General Staff, the headquarters of the Russian drone unit “Rubikon” was hit, while Russian authorities maintain that a college dormitory was affected. “The same Elon Musk must understand that his satellites are being used for killing children. All of this could…
The war in Ukraine is increasingly visibly extending beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. At least four Russian satellites have dangerously approached a commercial radar surveillance system in space, which provides crucial intelligence data to the Ukrainian army. This maneuver, extremely unusual and technologically costly, raises global alarm signals about Moscow’s true intentions. According to a report published by Greg Gillinger, former space intelligence officer in the US Air Force, the Kremlin’s actions could be part of a larger set of tactical maneuvers orchestrated to leave Kiev “blind” in space. The ultimate goal? Preparing the ground to target – through kinetic or…
The tightening of conditions for preferential mortgage loans has upset the business plans of real estate developers in Russia. In the first quarter, almost three quarters of companies (73%) did not meet their sales plans, according to a survey conducted by Dom.RF, VTsIOM and the Institute for the Development of the Construction Industry. This is the worst result in the last two years, analysts from Dom.RF note. They explain the decline by the excessively high expectations after the record fourth quarter of 2025, but also by the reduction in the number of mortgage loans granted with state support. At the…
The authors of every second comment on the internet criticizing the Russian authorities are “external forces” conducting an “informational and psychological war” against Russia, stated the head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analyzing Social Processes, Aleksandr Haricev. “We understand that 50% of this content shows signs of external organization. That is, from what we see negatively on social networks, half does not represent natural comments from people or authentic content, but information introduced from the outside, actively created and distributed in our online space,” he stated at the National Electoral Forum held at the “Senej” management center. Haricev…

During the session, the index even fell to 2,759.8 points — the lowest level since November last year. “The decline was triggered by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statements regarding successive strikes on decision-making centers and command points in Ukraine, after which the market abruptly accelerated its fall,” declared Dmitri Lozovoi, analyst at Finam company. The Russian Ministry…
The Russian authorities are preparing for the privatization of the state’s stake in one of the country’s largest port operators, in an attempt to find additional resources for the federal budget, whose deficit has reached nearly 6 trillion rubles in the period from January to April. Following the Aeroflot share package, the sale of which was recently announced by the authorities for state property administration, 20% of the shares of Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port were also included in the privatization plan. According to Interfax, the order was signed on May 23 by Prime Minister Mihail Mishustin. The entire state package…
