According to The Guardian, sources close to NATO planning describe growing “military pessimism” about Europe’s ability to withstand a long conflict with Russia. The concerns are being driven in part by the growing popularity of right-wing and Russia-friendly political forces in several European countries, alongside Washington’s rapid reduction of support for the U.S. military presence and broader security commitm

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🇷🇺🇩🇪 Russian FM Lavrov said that Germany’s ‌accusation Moscow was responsible for the Leipzig drone incident was “essentially the beginning of a real war.” "All these statements by Merz ​about making Germany the leading military power in Europe once again… they are being put ​into practice.” He also accused Germany of allowing the “metastases of Nazism” to reemerge. Berlin announced last week that it believed Russia was responsible for the attempted drone attack ⁠at Leipzig/Halle Airport last month. Russia dismissed it and accused Germany of planting evidence. What started as an accusation is now being framed as an act of war... Source: @TabzLive, TASS, Re

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: The meeting between President Zelenskyy and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner took place at Saint Sophia Cathedral, which was built in the 11th century during the era of Kyivan Rus’. At that time, Moscow did not yet exist. It is believed to have been founded a century later by Yuri Dolhoruky, Grand Prince of Kyiv. However, many contemporary Ukrainian and Western historians argue that in 1147, there was no actual city on the site of Moscow - only a small settlement or a frontier hunting camp amid the marshes. They regard Mengu-Timur, a khan of the Golden Horde and grandson of Batu Khan, as the true founder of Moscow as an official administrative entit

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: So now that the negotiations have officially started, we should expect them to last at least 3 hours, if not longer. According to the Kremlin, the talks in Moscow lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes. Especially since the negotiations in Ukraine include 2 rounds: the Ukraine-U.S. team and the Ukraine-U.S.-European NSAs team. Although the essence of the talks is still something of a mystery, Moscow has given no indication that it intends to end this war. If anything, all signs point to russia preparing to escalate further in Ukraine and potentially against neighboring European countries.

Petraeus argued that future historians may study the war in Ukraine in the same way previous generations examined the American Civil War and the two World Wars. The lasting importance, he said, will not come from every individual tactical lesson, but from the way the conflict demonstrates that warfare has entered a fundamentally new era. Ukraine is already exposing how dr

After years of invasion, occupation and destruction, the issue is still fundamentally the same: whether Ukrainians are allowed to choose their own future, or whether Moscow gets to decide it for them by force. Ukraine’s answer remains no.
