Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski stated that Russia no longer holds the initiative in the war, an opinion seemingly shared by numerous European leaders.

According to initial information, the drone armed with a bomb did not explode because the detonator was defective.

Perhaps the drone armed with explosives found on Wednesday at the Leipzig airport did not explode, but the fact that it penetrated the airport perimeter, near some Ukrainian cargo planes, raises obvious concerns about the security of international aviation. Although the identity of the culprits remains unknown, initial evidence clearly indicates a plot orchestrated by Russia. This is the first time…

For the first time this year, participants in the war in Ukraine and their children have occupied more budgetary places at Russian universities than the special quota of 10% provides, reports the publication “Važnîe Istorii”. This became possible after the admission rules were changed. The remaining unoccupied places from the quotas reserved for other social categories, especially for orphans and people with disabilities, are redistributed to candidates who benefit from the so-called “SVO quota” – intended for war participants and their children. Previously, these places were returned to the general competition. For instance, at the State University of Saint Petersburg,…

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has enacted the law that allows the revocation of the right of foreign companies to repurchase their assets sold after withdrawing from the Russian market. The document offers new Russian owners the possibility to apply in court for the annulment of repurchase clauses included in the sales contracts signed by foreign investors upon leaving Russia. The law applies exclusively to companies from states considered “unfriendly” by Moscow, which ceased their activity in Russia after February 24, 2022. The new owners or relevant ministries will be able to request the cancellation of the right of…

A few days later, maritime drones attacked the cargo ship “Nadejda,” which was transporting fruits and vegetables from Turkey to Novorossiisk,…

Additionally, he leads an empire of ultraconservative ideas that encompasses a small university, a…
