A clandestine group from Russia, demanding the overthrow of Vladimir Putin, asserts that the Kremlin’s dictator can no longer be removed through protests or negotiations, but only by force. The movement, named “Black Spark”, claims that it is secretly building an anti-regime network within Russia, composed of businessmen, middle-class professionals, anti-war activists, and former combatants. Behind the organization is said to be Igor Volobuev, former vice president of Gazprombank — one of the most important financial institutions close to the Kremlin — who fled to Ukraine after the Russian invasion and joined the Ukrainian forces. Volobuev asserts that within Russia,…

Russian President Vladimir Putin, increasingly isolated even in his own country, is determined to continue the war in Ukraine, despite the declining economy, well-informed sources told The Guardian.

Then he helped Gurevich get into his car and drove her to a dinner at the Kremlin.…
The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, rejected on Saturday Germany’s proposal to grant Ukraine the status of associate member in the EU, as this would leave Kiev without a voice within the community bloc. “There can be no complete European project without Ukraine, and Ukraine’s place in the European Union must also be complete, full, and equal,” Zelenski wrote on X, according to Politico. “It is important to open the groups in the negotiation fields. It is important to make significant progress in negotiations. It is important to work one hundred percent for security and for our people”, emphasized Zelenski.…
The war of statements between Washington and Tehran reaches a new critical peak, just as a diplomatic agreement seems closer than ever. Shortly after American President Donald Trump suggested that a historic consensus with Iran is imminent, the propaganda machines of the Islamic Republic reacted aggressively, publicly contesting both the nature of the agreement and the key provisions leaked to the press. Beyond the optimism displayed by the White House, the reality on the ground indicates a deep chasm between the terms accepted by the two sides. The stakes are huge: control of global energy routes and the future of…
Regimes that go to war usually try to convince their population that the decision to fight is justified and that the sacrifices will remain bearable. In this spirit, Russian President Vladimir Putin has tried for over four years to protect the residents of Moscow from the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine. Festivals and public events continued almost unhindered, and the effects of the shortage of goods were limited in the capital. Although over a million Russian soldiers were killed or injured, the Kremlin largely avoided massive recruitments from Moscow and Saint Petersburg, preferring to send to the front people…
The Vice President of the Russian Security Council and former President Dmitri Medvedev stated this Sunday that the overnight attacks in Ukraine were carried out in retaliation for Kiev’s lethal attack on a student dormitory in Lugansk.
