Das Europaparlament hatte die Kommission vor Gericht gebracht – sie habe zu Unrecht Fördermilliarden an Budapest freigegeben. Ein Gutachten gibt den Klägern nun recht.

Tonight, FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles struck the 117th GRAU arsenal in Kotluban, Volgograd region. This was confirmed by the General Staff. The arsenal is one of the largest ammunition storage sites of the Russian army. And it is still detonating.

1/ Enslaved people are being sold to the Russian army for up to 100,000 rubles ($1,240) each, according to anti-slavery campaigners. The issue highlights Russia's hidden but chronic problem with modern slavery, which Putin's government has failed to tackle. ⬇️

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later.

I've spent today at Belgium's Royal Higher Institute for Defence, discussing 'Russia's New Generation Warfare'. Every day brings new evidence that Russia is indeed waging a non-kinetic (mostly) war against Europe, & Europe is unable/unwilling to respond effectively, encouraging further attacks.
Bad. Very bad (and stupid).

9. As mentioned in my first declaration, layoffs due to RFE/RL's lack of funding from USAGM pose grave security risks for our journalists. Many of our journalists from Russia, Belarus, Iran, and elsewhere face threats of arrest if they return to their home countries because they no longer have work visas through RFFJRL to lawfully stay in their current country of residence. 10. One example is Kanstantsin Lashkevich, Director of RFE/RL's Belarus Service. Mr. Lashkevich joined RF E/RL's Belarus Service in 2017. Under his leadership, RFE/RL's Belarns Service saw record audience engagement. During the 2020 presidential election, which triggered months of protests, one in four Belarusian households followed RFE/RL's live reporting. Ultimately, there was an escalating crackdown by the government and 16 RFE/RL journalists were arrested, detained, and in some cases tortured. Three received lengthy prison sentences (the Trump Administration secured the release of one of these three RFE/RL journalists in February 2025). Following these arrests, in July 2021 , RFE/RL relocated Mr. Lashkevich to our journalistic headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic. After Mr. Lashkevich left Belarus, in December 2021 the Belamsian authorities labeled RFE/RL an "extremist organization." Under the laws of Belarus, involvement in such an organization is punishable by up to seven years' imprisomnent. 11. In December 2023, the Belamsian government launched a criminal case against Mr. Lashkevich. Mr. Lashkevich remains in the Czech Republic on a residence permit tied to his employment at RFE/RL. Should he lose his job with RFE/RL and have to return to Belarus, he would almost certainly be arrested immediately. 12. In a similar situation are eight of RFE/RL's Russian journalists who currently legally reside in Tbilisi or Riga as a result of their RFFJRL employment. Katerina Klepikovskaya, Elizaveta Maetnaya, Maxim Matveychenkov, Svetlana Prokopyeva, Mikhail Sokolov, Mumin Shakirov, Tatiena Voltskaya…

Russian forces have struck Sumy. Many wounded—so far, reports confirm 65 injured, including 14 children.

There are a few baffling elements in this story about classified intelligence reports confirming that water is, indeed, wet.

Yeah, that’s gonna be a question to be asked.
🚨 BREAKING: France has already stepped into the role of supplying Ukraine with military intelligence after the United States stopped.
France has its own spy satellites and vast reconnaissance capabilities. 👍
