The new Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued a series of bellicose statements against the Jewish state, reaffirming the ideological hostility of the Tehran regime. The harsh exchange of words comes at a paradoxical moment, when American and Iranian diplomats are trying to make progress in negotiations to end the conflict. The message of the new leader, broadcast Tuesday morning by the state television in Tehran, reiterates the traditional slogans of the Islamic order, “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”, reminiscent of a similar statement made a decade ago by his father, the former supreme leader Ali…
The Russian government is preparing to expand bans on the export of petroleum products, following a series of attacks on refineries, which led to the cessation of activity of almost all refineries in the central part of the country and reduced the fuel production capacity of oil companies by approximately 25%. Following the ban on gasoline exports, in effect since the end of March, authorities are considering the possibility of restricting diesel and kerosene exports, reports Interfax, citing sources close to the situation. According to them, the situation on the fuel market was discussed on Tuesday during a meeting led…
The United States of America has granted a crucial preliminary approval to Poland to commence the production of missiles for Patriot air defense systems within the factories of the domestic defense industry. The announcement, made by the Polish Deputy Minister of Defense, Cezary Tomczyk, marks a profound paradigm shift in Washington’s security policy, imposed by the harsh realities on the Ukrainian front and the acute tensions in the Middle East. Although initially American officials were extremely skeptical about the transfer of such sensitive and unique technology, the recent visit of a Polish delegation to the USA has unlocked negotiations. The…
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…
