President Zelenskyy has indicated that Ukraine was not warned by its partners — ostensibly the US — about the launch of five ballistic missiles from Russia at civilian infrastructure in Kyiv. "Regarding this strike, unfortunately, there was no warning from partners."

Was the rift with Ukraine deliberate to justify reengagement? "They may present the trip as an academic or civilian exchange,but approaching Russia without a clear justification while the war in Ukraine continues could arouse suspicions in Washington and draw criticism both at home and abroad"

"After Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers, a viral chart showed Russian "bot traffic" collapsing. But those bots are mostly Yandex's own search crawlers, not the info-ops social media accounts. Troll farms hide behind proxies, hijacked devices and Western clouds. They're still operating."

Europe currently lacks air and missile defence, and ammunition, the first annual report on defence readiness from the European Defence Agency,assessed. These shortfalls are expected to rise as Washington continues to shift away from Europe, the agency warned in its confidential report.

Ukrainian intelligence found that the russians had compiled a detailed document describing a systematic bombing campaign intended to inflict immense suffering on Ukrainian civilians by severely restricting their access to power, heating and water ahead of the approaching winter.

Look who's coming to Boris Johnson's defence "Either Prime Minister Burnham is lying, or the intelligence service of Great Britain." Former Kremlin spokesperson Sergei Markov claims that the PM's claim that the russians interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum is "absolutely a clear lie."

Europe will not successfully defend it's democracy against totalitarian attempts to subvert it by trying to fix it while it is under attack. Let's not forget that the strongest criticism of democracy comes from the russian swamps, or from the US, which cannot be compared to European democracies.
