According to Putin, in 2025, revenue from arms exports exceeded $15 billion, and in 2026, it is planned to increase. Despite sanctions that caused a shortage of components, Rostec and the United Shipbuilding Corporation increased their combined sales revenue by 23%.

French pseudo-analyst Alexandre Lemoine pushes pro-Kremlin narratives and the demonisation of the EU in his article for pro-Kremlin proxy media Observateur Continental. He blames the EU for prolonging the war that Russia wages against Ukraine, failing to blame Moscow

The EU is preparing to adopt a 20th package of sanctions against Russia. According to Kallas, restrictions on the Russian “shadow fleet,” energy, and fertilizer trade are being discussed. There is still no full consensus on sanctions among EU countries.

EU sanctions circumvention has been detected in Germany: through a scheme of postal shipments to Russia with sanctioned goods disguised as permitted goods. The scheme was organized by former employees of RusPost GmbH.

Spain escorted the sanctioned tanker Chariot Tide from Russia's “shadow fleet” to a port in Morocco but did not detain it, despite EU and UK sanctions. Formal compliance with sanctions undermines their effectiveness and allows Russia to retain revenues to finance the war

Germany has called on the EU to take tougher action against Russia's “shadow fleet.” The foreign minister said that the Baltic states are particularly affected by the Kremlin's hybrid actions, so there can be no delay in tightening sanctions and protecting critical infrastructure

EU countries have decided to phase out imports of Russian pipeline gas and LNG. It should be noted that only tough and consistent sanctions pressure on Russia can really limit the financing of its aggression.

Ukraine is demonstrating extraordinary resilience in its war with Russia, but its resources are not unlimited. Despite some positive steps, Western assistance remains insufficient. Protection requires stronger sanctions against Russia to reduce its ability to finance the war.

Russian-linked network Storm-1679 used AI and deepfakes to impersonate major US media, spreading fake news videos and cloned voices. Some content circulated widely before debunking, exposing how AI-driven disinformation exploits trust and verification gaps

Estonian security services expelled David Arutyunyan, a Russian army reservist, for supporting the aggressor state and promoting symbols linked to war crimes. He has been banned from entering the Schengen Area due to security concerns

Russia stole over 2 million tons of Ukrainian grain from the occupied territories and sold it through a shadow grain fleet. At least 45 ships have been identified, and Ukraine has imposed sanctions against 43 of them and 39 captains. The next step is systematic European sanctions

The Swedish ForeignMinister's statement on the need to impose sanctions on transport and repair services for Russian oil tankers is consistent and justified.Such actions will reduceRussia's ability to export energy resources and diminish its financial capacity to continue the war

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

The price cap mechanism for Russian oil has been in effect since 2022 and has proven effective. Lower oil prices reduce Russia's financial capacity to wage aggression. The EU and G7 must continuously strengthen sanctions to make the war economically unsustainable for the Kremlin.

Russia highlighted a rare Oreshnik missile strike on Ukraine during a large drone and missile attack, amplifying claims of retaliation. The timing suggests an attempt to divert attention from the US seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker and the growing diplomatic fallout.

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

Russia says it fired its new Oreshnik missile at Ukraine in response to an alleged attack on Putin’s residence. Western officials view the launch as a hybrid threat, not just a battlefield move: Russia is signalling it can strike near EU borders to undermine Western unity

The European Commission will review TikTok after Poland flagged AI-generated “Polexit” videos as possible Russian disinformation. Warsaw says the content shows coordinated manipulation and may breach the EU’s Digital Services Act, which requires platforms to limit systemic risks

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

Ukraine's partners are ready to help maintain security after the war ends. France and the UK plan to deploy their forces. Sweden is ready to provide fighter jets for demining the Black Sea. But to get closer to victory, we need to tighten sanctions to stop Russia's aggression

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

Friedrich Merz believes that Russia's constant attacks bear the hallmarks of war crimes and are leading Ukraine into an energy and humanitarian crisis. Tightening sanctions against Russia is necessary to limit the aggressor's resources and reduce its ability to continue the war.

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

Ukraine’s intelligence warns Russia may stage a false-flag attack with civilian casualties around Orthodox Christmas. Kyiv says Moscow could strike symbolic sites and blame Ukraine to derail peace efforts and justify renewed attacks

[Volunteer Hub @Volunteer_H]

Friedrich Merz’s message is clear:Russia’s war against Ukraine is directly tied to Europe’s security. He openly points to hybrid threats—sabotage, espionage, and cyberattacks against Germany—confirming that Berlin sees a de facto hybrid war with Russia already underway on EU soil
