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…

The Russian stock market started the week with a new decline, falling to its lowest level in the last six months. The MOEX index, which includes about 40 of the largest Russian companies, ended Monday’s session down 1.05%, at 2,598.2 points. 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…

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…

From the broadcasts of state television and official Kremlin publications, a fragment has disappeared in which the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, failed to clearly articulate a triple “hurrah” during a meeting with the military, noted the project Faridaily. The moment took place on May 22. During a ceremony held at the Kremlin, Putin addressed the graduates of the propaganda program “The Time of Heroes”, through which veterans of the war in Ukraine are integrated into leadership structures, and urged them to support those on the front line. “Let’s do as we have done before: in their honor and as…

General (ret.) Adriean Pârlog, former head of Romanian military intelligence, explains in an interview for “Adevărul”, what Romania should expect from its American allies and reveals the figures and brutal reality on the Ukrainian front. American President Donald Trump announced this weekend that the US will send an additional 5,000 troops to Poland. The announcement comes a week after the Pentagon cancelled a planned deployment of 4,000 soldiers to this country. Romania, on the other hand, remains hopeful, at least for now. The American move shows that countries supporting the US obtain certain benefits, even if they are security-related, which…

Moscow maintains that the target of the attack was a student dormitory, however Ukrainian authorities assert that the destroyed building housed the headquarters of the Russian drone unit Rubicon. The new threats come…

A recent phone conversation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American President Donald Trump highlights the deep strategic rifts between Washington and Jerusalem, as the US attempts to conclude a diplomatic agreement with Tehran. The Israeli leader emphatically underscored that his country will not give up its freedom of action to neutralize threats to its security, especially in Lebanon, even if Washington and Tehran sign a new peace treaty. According to the Reuters news agency, which cites an anonymous Israeli political source, Donald Trump described the discussions as “very good”, although the positions of the two traditional allies remain…

Political scientist Ioana Constantin-Bercean, an expert in the Middle East, notes that the pro-peace faction is becoming increasingly influential in Tehran. Meanwhile, more and more states in the region are getting involved in peace negotiations, but the European Union is absent, just as in the case of negotiations for Ukraine. Discussions about a lasting agreement in the Middle East mark a clear progress, even though the belligerent states have not yet reached an agreement. Donald Trump himself announced over the weekend that a memorandum of understanding had been largely negotiated, according to Reuters. As part of this preliminary agreement, the…

While the Ukrainian army is rationalizing its limited stocks of anti-aircraft missiles, Kiev is increasingly relying on a homegrown technological solution: the “Lima” electronic warfare system, designed to disrupt and redirect drones and missiles launched by the Russian Federation. Unlike conventional air defense systems, which destroy targets through kinetic impact, the “Lima” system uses jamming tactics and “spoofing” (misleading) of satellite navigation signals. This approach causes Russian weapons to deviate from their trajectory. The technology has become an essential pillar in Ukraine’s defensive architecture, in the context where Moscow is intensifying its long-range attacks, and Kiev is facing a chronic…

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,…
