Kozyreva's defiance, demonstrated through social media posts and public displays of anti-war poetry, has led to her arrest and potential two-year penal colony sentence, spotlighting the ongoing struggle for freedom of expression in Russia.

Western sanctions applied in the wake of the initial invasion disrupted Russia’s ability to reach some European audiences with its state-sponsored media outlets. But Russia has since adjusted its information operations to focus more on social media; in addition to attacking Western public support to fund Ukraine’s defense, it has expanded targeted propaganda efforts in different parts of the world, including Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

In the second year of its war, faced with international sanctions, a damaged reputation, and the ban of state-sponsored RT and Sputnik in many Western countries, Russia shifted toward more targeted and tailored influence operations, using TikTok, Telegram, and other social platforms to expand its international audience—especially in the Global South, where Russian state media are still big players. Russia also deepened its cooperation in the media and information spheres with sympathetic countries.

Russian forces continue to make small but rapid gains outside of the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka, attributable in part to dwindling Ukrainian ammunition and declining Western aid.

But there’s another reason the Kremlin’s troops are advancing in the area: poor Ukrainian defenses.

Ukrainian officials may have been too focused on offensive operations last year to dedicate the necessary resources to building the kind of multiple trenches and tank traps that Russian engineers built since late 2022 in the country’s south, the U.S. officials and military experts said.

There may have also been a psychological element at play, the U.S. officials said. If Ukrainian troops heavily mined certain areas to thwart Russian advances, it would be a tacit acknowledgement that they were unlikely to carry out offensive operations in the same area at a future date. They’d effectively be writing off that territory to the Russian military, the officials said.

🤝 Border guards received 50 Volkswagen Transporter minibuses from MK Foundation

Soon, border units will use them to perform front-line combat tasks and to protect the border.

The State Border Service has received cars from the MK Foundation on several occasions. The fund handed over 160 cars and ambulances to the border guards.

We thank the benefactors for their help.

For Kyiv to win, there should be “no self-imposed restriction on military assistance to Ukraine”, with Parliament reaffirming the need to provide the country with whatever is needed to regain full control over its internationally recognised territory.

The resolution underlines the urgency for a solid legal regime to allow Russian state-owned assets frozen by the EU to be confiscated and used for reconstructing Ukraine and to compensate victims of the war. Russia must be obliged to pay reparations imposed on it to ensure that it contributes substantially to rebuilding Ukraine.

We “call on the European Commission to initiate and on member states to adopt without delay a total ban on Russian energy commodities in the EU market,” says the letter, initiated by the green lawmaker Ville Niinistö from Finland.

Co-signed by lawmakers from several EU countries belonging to the centre-right, centre-left, centrist liberals, national conservatives, and the Greens, the letter addresses EU leaders and foreign and energy ministers.

The revelation follows allegations Russian forces are deploying Starlink in their invasion of Ukraine, now in its third year. DJI says it forbids distributors from selling its products in instances of suspected combat end-use. In April 2022, the tech firm announced it was temporarily suspending business in both Russia and Ukraine pending "compliance assessments."

"We can confirm that this is not an official DJI website," a company representative said when asked about the Starlink sales.

DJI said its legal team was looking into possible copyright infringement.

Representatives of the purported distributor, djirussia.ru, did not respond to a request for comment.

Starlink's Elon Musk has categorically denied Starlink sales are happening in Russia.
