The only thing that the USA currently offers to Ukraine for free is information from the intelligence services, including coordinates for strikes on Russian positions in Ukraine and on the energy infrastructure on Russian territory. This is being discussed by both American and Ukrainian sources, writes The Atlantic. According to the publication, the credit for this policy goes to the CIA director, John Ratcliffe, who, according to reports, impresses President Donald Trump on the golf courses with astounding data about Russia’s battlefield losses. These, according to The Atlantic, currently exceed 40,000 per month. A Western intelligence official explains Ratcliffe’s success…
The Swedish security service (Säpo) announced on Monday that it had thwarted a Russian intelligence operation intended to discredit Sweden, in which an “agent” involved was working within a foreign diplomatic mission in Sweden. The counterintelligence agency announced in a statement that it has “gathered information about a Russian intelligence operation and took action against it”, an operation that aimed to influence the decision-making process in Sweden and discredit the country, NATO, and the European Union, according to Euronews. According to Säpo, “the intelligence operation has been planned and coordinated for some time by the Russian foreign intelligence service SVR”.…
Founded in the spring of 2026, Sovintern officially aims to bring together activists from different countries around socialist values. According to an investigation by the independent Russian publication The Insider, however, the network also appears to be promoting an anti-Ukrainian, anti-American, and anti-NATO narrative, as well as recruiting foreign citizens to support Russia’s war effort. The declared objective of Sovintern, an international socialist organization created by Russia in the spring of 2026, is to inform and connect left-wing and far-left activists from various countries, with the aim of forming an international network. The name of the organization recalls the Comintern,…
Austria has dismantled a network through which a Vienna-based company was supplying equipment used in the manufacture of engines for Russian rockets and fighter jets, thereby violating European Union sanctions imposed on Moscow, announced the Ministry of Interior on Monday, according to Reuters. The company forged end-user certificates to supply equipment subject to sanctions, including special tools for metal processing and CNC machines, which can be used for the production of parts and tools, the Austrian ministry specified in a statement. The institution added that the company’s director, a 28-year-old Belarusian citizen, was arrested in May. The company, whose name…
This summer has shown, clearer than ever, how little control Europe still has over its own future. The war in Iran has made gas and food more expensive, the one in Ukraine remains unresolved after four years, fires are driving hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, and a wave of migrants at the border with Morocco is once again dividing the leaders of the Union. The common denominator of all these crises: the forces that trigger them are largely out of Europe’s hands, writes The New York Times. It has already been a brutal summer for Europe: two…
Russia is working intensively on a new disinformation and influence campaign for the German regional elections this fall, where it hopes to gain a new significant pawn for its information warfare plans against Europe. That pawn is the extremist AfD party, which is favored by polls to form the new federal government in the state of Saxony-Anhalt after the regional elections. The Russians have not given up on France either, where they hope for the victory of an extremist candidate who would bring the country into the camp of pro-Russian regimes. Financial Times reports that Russia is using American MAGA…
The German Minister of the Interior, Alexander Dobrindt, has warned that the country faces “daily” hybrid attacks from foreign powers, whose names he did not mention, according to Politico. Espionage, sabotage, cyber attacks, and covert operations “with the aim of destabilizing Germany or directly affecting it” are “a constant reality,” said Minister Alexander Dobrindt, in an interview given to the publication BILD, Sunday, in the context of the drone incident that took place this week at the Leipzig airport. German authorities announced on Wednesday that a drone loaded with explosives was spotted a few meters away from a Ukrainian Antonov…
Russia is reportedly preparing a large-scale attack campaign on Kiev’s energy infrastructure in the coming weeks, with the aim of causing maximum damage before Ukraine’s Independence Day on August 24, according to the most recent assessment by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The Institute for the Study of War cites the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications, which reported, based on information from American services, that Russia is preparing for a major campaign against the energy infrastructure of the Ukrainian capital. According to the assessment, the Kremlin could resort to its strategic reserve of ballistic missiles to cause…
The American army has abruptly dismissed the general in charge of the corps involved in coordinating support for Ukraine. According to ABC News, Lieutenant General Charles Costanza, commander of the V Corps, was removed approximately two months before his term was due to end. The army corps he led occupies a central role in the American military presence on the NATO front line with Russia. Costanza was in command of the Fifth Corps from April 2024, a structure partially dislocated in Poland, which has gained increasing importance since the outbreak of Russia’s large-scale war against Ukraine, contributing to the coordination…
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski stated that he is “satisfied” with the results of a 40-day influence operation aimed at persuading Russia to “end the war.” His statements suggest that Ukrainian forces might continue attacks on Russian logistical infrastructure even after the initially set period has ended. Zelenski instructed the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to launch the operation at the end of June. The campaign culminated in actions that affected dozens of Russian oil tankers, which Kiev claims were supplying occupied Crimea, as well as the destruction of several warehouses belonging to the online retailer Wildberries, in various regions of…
