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. According to a post on Telegram by Medvedev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team “have drawn a harsh response from Russia with their terrorist attacks against children.” “Apparently, it was intentional.

Vladimir Putin tried to encourage more Russian army officers with a shout, but his voice betrayed him twice – first while he was sitting, then as he stood up. A new viral recording presents an embarrassing moment for the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This video has once again sparked a wave of jokes and questions about the physical condition of the Russian leader.

The restrictions on the import of flowers from Armenia, which will come into effect from May 22, could lead to a rise in prices, warn market participants. According to them, some types of flowers have already become more expensive. Rosselkhoznadzor justifies the ban by stating that, despite the guarantees provided by the Armenian authorities, “quarantine objects”, i.e. organisms or pests considered dangerous for agriculture, continue to be detected in flower batches. The institution also maintains that some of the flowers could originate not from Armenia, but from other states whose imports are restricted. According to the source, the statement could…

The President of the Constitutional Court of Russia, Valeri Zorkin, supported the mechanism of corruption proceedings without a statute of limitations initiated by the prosecutor’s office, becoming one of the main tools for redistributing property in Russia.

According to the Court’s position, corruption is not…
