The author claimed that South Korea was profiting from helping Russia address a fuel crisis caused by Ukrainian strikes, while its president was picking a fight with Kyiv. https://t.co/kCBuKXYB9q #SouthKorea #Russia #FuelCrisis #KR #RU #UA

The post’s author said Russian drones had increasingly often hit Moldova “by mistake” and argued that this should not be normalized. #Молдова #дроны #Безопасность #RU #MD

Looks like a tragedy was narrowly averted on the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight today. Reports of bloody struggle onboard and a rapid descent before an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. https://t.co/fw0YZuaqHO #Dubai #TelAviv #EmergencyLanding #AE #IL #SA

Russian sources say a Tu-95MS strategic bomber crashed in eastern Siberia, several crew members dead. Russia doesn’t make this aircraft, which is capable of launching conventional and nuclear missiles, anymore. There are an estimated 20 to 30 Tu-95 bombers left in the Russian https://t.co/ikcGGGNQSv #Tu95 #Russia #Military #RU

Any deal to reward Putin with US sanction relief for releasing political prisoners would just prompt him to replenish his reserves by imprisoning more people. https://t.co/4O4DmVfBpM #Putin #Sanctions #PoliticalPrisoners #US #RU

Russia’s ability to mass produce hard to intercept jet drones in recent months, and its decision to deploy them mostly against Kyiv’s civilian infrastructure, have transformed the nature of this war. For now, Ukraine and its backers don’t have a response. For now. #multiprse #drones #UkraineWar #RU #UA

The level of service in America — from airports to hotels to trains — increasingly brings back childhood memories of the Soviet past. Those were not good memories. #ServiceQuality #Nostalgia #SovietMemories #US #RU

No mention of multiple Russian attacks just in recent weeks on American-owned businesses and factories in Ukraine, though. #RussiaAttacks #Ukraine #AmericanBusinesses #RU #US #UA

In the Baltics, NATO forces prepare for a new kind of war — with mixed results so far. My dispatch from an exercise in the Latvian forest. https://t.co/lXgU6agxUe #NATO #Baltics #Latvia #LV

Don’t panic but also don’t underestimate Russia, Latvia’s president told me. President Edgars Rinkēvičs said that he was receiving intelligence assessments of looming Russian escalation, though for now below the threshold of outright military invasion that would trigger NATO’s #Russia #Latvia #NATO #RU #LV

Trump seems to be blaming Russia rather than Ukraine here as Zelensky is on his way to New York. https://t.co/10COvrxwHK #Trump #Russia #Ukraine #RU #UA #US

The overnight strikes on the Moscow area used the Flamingo cruise missiles and, if the Pelican mentioned by Zelensky is indeed the FP7 Pelican by Fire Point, for the first time a Ukrainian ballistic missile. Most of the damage was done by drones, as usually, though. #MoscowStrikes #UkrainianMissiles #Drone Warfare #RU #UA

Israel sold $400 million worth of military drones to Russia, kickstarting Moscow’s drone industry. And North Korea is Russia’s treaty ally now, participating in the war against Ukraine. https://t.co/gUFxABQWlT #Israel #Russia #NorthKorea #IL #RU #KP #UA

The uniform isn’t Russian, the Russian flag is nowhere to be seen — Kadyrov’s hereditary emirate in Chechnya is really another country for most purposes, linked to Moscow only by the family bond between Vladimir Putin and the House of Kadyrov. #Chechnya #Kadyrov #Putin #RU #CZ

After creating the biggest split between Europe and the U.S. in decades with his claim on 🇬🇱 Greenland, Trump agrees a deal that keeps things pretty much as they are — with a garnish of pledges that things that were never going to happen, like Chinese and Russian military bases #Greenland #Trump #EuropeUSRelations #GL #US #CN #RU

Slovakia’s prime minister Fico says he won’t go to war to defend NATO allies “because of some Article 5.” Why are Slovak troops deployed to the Baltics then? For fresh air? https://t.co/zrS3V0VA7K #Slovakia #NATO #Article5 #SK #LT #LV #EE #US

Putin’s senior aide Patrushev: In case of conflict with Russia, the independent Polish state will cease to exist in 2-3 days. https://t.co/kyYT8dKoGg #Putin #Poland #Russia #PL #RU
