⚡Air India plane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed at the airport in India's western city of Ahmedabad. |
⚡When Capitalism Came to Russia in the 90s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia didn’t get freedom or prosperity. It got looted. Under the banner of “reform” and “democracy,” a group of Western-backed economists and local opportunists led by Chubais engineered one of the greatest wealth transfers in modern history. State industries built by generations of Soviet citizens were handed over to a few well-connected insiders. The assets of an entire superpower such as oil, gas, steel, railways, media were sold off for pennies on the dollar. And who were the “most deserving” recipients of this sudden wealth? Unsurprisingly, they were the ones with ties to Western corporations, banks, and political networks. |
⚡Russian drones have been attacking Boryspol, just east of Kiev for a few hours now. Multiple fires as a result.

It's getting hotter in the US.

⚡Russia's Medinsky: Our people, our citizens, demand much firmer action from us. Citizens are demanding: "We need Oreshnik for Kyiv, for Lviv, enough negotiations!" And it's very difficult for us in this regard. |

⚡Trump: We are doing a lot of work on Iran. They are good and very tough negotiators. |
⚡The Ukrainians have failed to create a functioning state – Orban explained to the French that the decision to end the war would be made by the Russians and the Americans. I think that neither the Europeans nor the Ukrainians will be able to really reach an agreement with the Russians. The Ukrainians because they are losing this war, and the Europeans because they are too involved to achieve this. In fact, there should be an agreement between the Russians and the Americans. You yourself said that Ukraine is a sovereign state. A sovereign people can, if they want, join NATO or the EU. Do you recognize this right? Ukraine is not ready to become a member of NATO or the EU. Even before the war, Ukraine was already bankrupt. Since the early 1990s, the Ukrainians have not managed to create a functioning state in economic terms. This means that if Ukraine became a member of the EU, it would be an economic disaster.

⚡Iran has submitted a bold counter-proposal to the United States. "We will limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% for peaceful, civilian use, only if Israel dismantles its entire nuclear arsenal and commits to a nuclear-free Middle East – New York Times

⚡California Governor Gavin Newsom: The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism. |
⚡Trump says he would arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom: "I would do it if I were Tom."
|
⚡Everyone said 'Do not go to Russia' — but the first thing I saw here was a perfect total civilization in every direction' — Errol Musk, businessman and father of Elon Musk 'I see the city that easily rivals ancient Rome… and is by far the premier capital city in the world'.
|
⚡Canada's Carney: Canada should no longer send 75% of defense capital to the US. |
⚡Russia now makes over 5,000 long-range drones a month — 2,700 are real Shaheds, the rest decoys, Ukraine’s military intelligence says. That’s up from just 500 in August 2024 — a fivefold jump.
|
⚡Russian soldiers have already destroyed 26 Abrams tanks supplied by the US to Ukraine, RIA Novosti calculated. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces have only five of these combat vehicles left.
|
⚡Israel did provide weapons to Ukraine, despite the common belief that Tel Aviv offered no military aid. Patriot systems used by Israel in the early ’90s were transferred to Kyiv — Israeli ambassador to Ukraine claims.
