  • Ukraine halts pipeline carrying Russian natural gas to Europe, as deal expires

    Gazprom reportedly confirmed the stoppage, saying Kyiv refused to extend a deal. LONDON -- Ukraine stopped the flow of Russian natural gas through its territory to Europe at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, as a long-held deal expired, Kyiv officials said. "We stopped the transit of Russian gas, this is a historic event," Herman Galushchenko, Ukraine's energy minister, said in a statement. "Russia is losing markets, it will suffer financial losses." The move had been expected, as Galushchenko and other officials signaled they were preparing to stop the transnational pipelines and discussing the move with neighboring nations. "We have undergone a...

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US billionaire Elon Musk on Monday called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky an "all-time" champion for the US "greatest heist," commenting on US President Joe Biden’s decision to allocate another $2.5 billion to Ukraine. "All-time champ," Musk said on X in response to another user’s comment saying that the Ukrainian leader "has genuinely pulled off one of the greatest money heists of all time." Earlier in the day, Biden announced another package of aid to Ukraine worth nearly $2.5 billion. US President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the Ukraine conflict through talks.

    Ukraine appears to have hit Russia with cluster Atacms missiles for the first time since Joe Biden lifted a ban on long-range weapons.Kyiv hit Khalino airfield near Kursk city overnight, Ukrainian military bloggers said, sharing geolocated photos of the site.The airfield is no longer used by Russian aviation, but they said the facility still contained a command headquarters, ammunition depots and a drone launching area.A video of the strike showed hundreds of small explosions typical of cluster munitions hitting the airport. Atacms come in two forms: as cluster munitions or a unitary warhead that hits a more specific target.It was...

    The Russian Ministry of Defense has developed a forecast for the evolution of the global military-political situation until 2045, which includes the elimination of Ukraine and its division into parts. Moscow may transmit this plan to the United States through diplomatic channels, according to the Interfax-Ukraine agency. How Russia’s plan looks The first part, according to the Russian plan, involves the so-called new regions of Russia. This refers to the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson regions, and Crimea with Sevastopol, which are to officially become part of the Russian Federation. This is the focus of Moscow today. The second part, according...

    "This is another step up the escalation ladder, and no one knows where this is going," Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., Trump’s incoming national security adviser, said on Fox News. "​​No one anticipated that Joe Biden would ESCALATE the war in Ukraine during the transition period. This is as if he is launching a whole new war," Ric Grenell, Trump’s former acting director of national intelligence, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Everything has changed now – all previous calculations are null and void. And all for politics." "On his way out of office, Joe Biden is dangerously trying to start WWIII...

    Ukraine has carried out its first strike on Russian territory with US-supplied long-range missiles just days after the Biden administration gave Kyiv the green light despite fears it could escalate the conflict beyond control. A fiery explosion at an ammunition depot in Karachev around 75 miles from the Ukrainian border in Russia's Bryansk region lit up the night sky early this morning on what is the 1,000th day of war in Ukraine. Eyewitnesses along with Russian and Ukrainian military bloggers first reported the attack, with anonymous Ukrainian military officials later telling RBC Ukraine the strike was conducted with the US-manufactured...

    President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday formally lowered the threshold for Russia’s use of its nuclear weapons, a move that follows U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russian territory with American-supplied longer-range missiles. The new doctrine allows for a potential nuclear response by Moscow even to a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power. Russia’s Defense Ministry said Ukraine fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles early Tuesday at a military facility in Russia's Bryansk region that borders Ukraine, adding that air defenses shot down five of them and damaged one...

    Biden’s surprise decision on Sunday, November 17, 2024, to authorize Ukraine to utilize long-range U.S. missiles capable of reaching 186 miles into Russia requires explanation. (As of this writing, Ukraine has already fired a missile into Russia.) Does the U.S. military believe that allowing Ukraine to fire a few U.S.-manufactured Army Tactical Missile systems (“ATACMS”) into Russia will win the war for Ukraine? Or is Biden’s decision evidence that the United States is in a military coup d’etat aimed at escalating the war in Ukraine so Donald Trump will not be able to settle the war should he manage to...

    Ukraine has fired US-supplied longer-range missiles at Russian territory for the first time, the Russian government said, a day after Washington gave its permission for such attacks. US officials also confirmed use of the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) to CBS news, the BBC's US partner. Ukraine has not commented. Russia's defence ministry said the strike targeted the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine to the north on Tuesday morning. Five missiles were shot down and one damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility in the region, the ministry said. Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Washington of...

    President Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles supplied by the US has sparked a furious response in Russia. "Departing US president Joe Biden… has taken one of the most provocative, uncalculated decisions of his administration, which risks catastrophic consequences," declared the website of the Russian government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Monday morning. Russian MP Leonid Slutsky, head of the pro-Kremlin Liberal-Democratic Party, predicted that the decision would "inevitably lead to a serious escalation, threatening serious consequences". Russian senator Vladimir Dzhabarov called it "an unprecedented step towards World War Three". Anger, yes. But no real...

    NATO is developing mass evacuation and rescue plans in case of a future war with Russia, a senior general has declared. Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO's logistics command, confirmed this week the security bloc is working to ensure it has the operational capability to extract large numbers of wounded troops from the front lines. What's more, Russia's air force and its vaunted rocket and missile stockpiles mean that medical evacuations via aircraft would be too risky - a factor that could force NATO's troops to operate 'hospital trains' to extract the wounded en masse. 'The challenge will be...

    Russian President Vladimir Putin says that a nuclear power supporting another country’s attack on Russia will be considered a participant in aggression. Speaking during Wednesday’s meeting of Russia’s Security Council that considered changes in Russia’s nuclear doctrine, Putin announced that a revised version of the document says that an attack against Russia by a non-nuclear power with support of a nuclear power will be seen as their “joint attack on the Russian Federation.”

    The Kremlin scrambled to evacuate residents from a border town Saturday, as Ukrainian troops quickly advanced toward a nuclear plant, four days after gaining a foothold in Russia’s southwestern Kursk region. On Friday, Ukraine knocked out an entire Russian reinforcement convoy, as fighters caught Russian troops off-guard. Video of the aftermath showing smoldering Russian trucks was shared online. Ukrainian soldiers continued to move further into Russia, reaching at least six miles into Russian territory, the deepest advance since Moscow invaded the neighboring nation in February 2022....
