Czechia prepares to fall into Putin’s world as Prague sets to elect pro-Russian kleptocrat

Czech politics has taken a disturbing turn, as former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš positions himself once again at the center of power, despite mounting criticism of his increasingly pro-Russian posture. For many observers, his rise reflects not only personal ambition but a troubling amnesia within Czech society — a willingness to forget nearly half a century of subjugation under Moscow’s rule.

At Current Rate, Russia’s Entire Oil Refining Industry Faces Collapse Within a Year

Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure has shifted from symbolic raids to a systematic dismantling of one of the Kremlin’s most important industries. In just the past 45 days, Ukrainian drones have struck 12 refineries, pushing nearly a quarter of Russia’s total refining capacity offline. The scale and tempo suggest that Russia’s fuel production is not facing a slow erosion, but a rapid breakdown.

Poland challenges Trump's attempt to dismiss Russia's attack on Poland

In a statement to press today, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that Russia’s overnight drone strike on Polish territory may have been unintentional, a claim that drew swift and categorical rejection from Warsaw.

Poland Downs Russian Drones in First Direct NATO Engagement as the US continues to coddle Putin

Polish forces shot down multiple Russian drones that violated the country’s airspace overnight, in what officials and analysts say is the first confirmed direct engagement by a NATO member against Russian military assets since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The incident unfolded during a mass Russian aerial assault on Ukrainian cities, which also triggered emergency alerts in neighboring states.

Russia’s Fuel Crisis Spreads to Moscow

Russia’s fuel shortages have now reached the capital, a striking sign of strain in what has long been a pillar of the Kremlin’s economic strength. Drivers in Moscow and Saratov are facing an acute lack of AI-95 gasoline, one of the country’s most widely used high-octane fuels, according to Russian media. At numerous filling stations in both cities, AI-95 has disappeared entirely.

Russia Unleashes Record Assault on Ukraine's civilian population

HIV and Hepatitis Epidemic Within Russian Military Prompts New Segregated Units

The Russian Armed Forces have begun forming segregated units made up of soldiers diagnosed with HIV, hepatitis, and other serious illnesses, according to posts reviewed on the Telegram channel of pro-Kremlin commentator Anastasia Kashevarova. The directive reportedly orders these troops to be grouped together, tasked with holding defensive positions, and marked with distinctive armbands identifying their medical category.

Ukraine Revives the Oil War Strategy That Helped Crush N**i Germany

In World War II, the Allies concluded that destroying N**i Germany’s oil industry would cripple Hitler’s armies faster than any battlefield victory. By mid-1944, relentless bombing of synthetic-fuel plants cut production by 90%, grounding the Luftwaffe and leaving armored divisions stranded months before Germany’s collapse. Ukraine has now adopted this same logic.
