Great to talk with Joy Reid @lynseyaddario about our @VanityFair piece on war crimes in #Sudan - and why no one reports it.

I would venture to suggest that what Melnichenko or Putin claim to be unacceptable constraints on Russia's sovereignty are for every other state around Europe and the Mediterranean the basic shared rules and institutions needed to ensure regional stability and prosperity

@peterjukes “Topics covered in meetings alongside Robinson included Russia’s attempts to address a decline in births.”

If only Russians would address their self-inflicted rise in deaths.

“My family have known the Cottrell family and the broader Hesketh family for 50 years, a very successful aristocratic family.”

“This is about the establishment trying to kill off a disruptive political party”

@huibmodderkolk Remarkable that there appear to have been almost no considerations of Putin’s operations in South Ossetia (2008), Donbas (2014) and Crimea (2014). Do @AIVD and #mivd consider those to be normal, for a president focussed on maintaining normal relationships with the west?

“If the summit is remembered primarily for another argument over spending targets, rather than for strengthening relationships, capabilities and political cohesion, NATO will have spent another summit debating the price of the alliance without adequately discussing its value.”

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

The NATO summit in Ankara this week comes at one of the most consequential moments in the alliance’s history. And every moment spent managing Donald Trump is a moment not dedicated to the alliance's business.

Newly unsealed US indictment against Denis Obrezko, a Russian hacker extradited to the US from Thailand last month. Obrezko (allegedly) worked for the FSB as part of Void Blizzard/Laundry Bear, which targeted NATO members (and hacked Dutch national police servers in 2024)

18/ "Even the eastern regions, because what or who will prevent the Ukrainians from placing drones on a ship and launching them?

[ChrisO_wiki @ChrisO_wiki]

16/ "Based on this, to cover a distance of over 2,500 km (and likely even more, given the need to bypass air defence systems), the drones must have flown over Russian territory for at least 14–18 hours."

Kirill Fedorov highlights the implications of the attack:

Turns out it doesn’t take billions to defeat the American military. Putin just has to make sure to have MAGA elected again.

.@markhertling on Hegseth purging military leaders: “It’s scary to me as a former general officer and commander of forces…It's also having a cooling effect on the rest of the force — from lieutenants all the way up to colonels and generals."

Today the @UNHumanRights Council is holding an urgent debate on #Sudan.

Here's why:

"This is not a drill. It's a red alert that needs to land on the desks of heads of state and government around the world. "

[Anastasia Stognei @NastyaStognei]

Kazakhstan’s otherwise booming economy has a big problem: Putin’s war. 80% of its oil runs through a sole pipe across Russia, a route increasingly targeted by Ukraine. What can Kazakhstan do about it?
