We are back to bring you the latest news from around the world! Alex Chopov and the Belgorod Brit will review “another slow news delweek/del month” –  Greenland, Canada, Panama, Zelensky going off the rails in his interview, Berbock blurred in Syria, Facebook allowing more free speech, gay priests in the Vatican, horrible rape cover-up scandal in the UK, ships sunk, cables cut and much, much, much more! The hosts, as usual, will tackle the geopolitics of the day, with wit and accumulated knowledge – at least that’s the plan. Expect the odd rant, and a drop of black humour. If you wish for them to discuss specific topics, you […]

Why don’t you stop being a pawn of US Empire and stop sending hundreds of thousands of Working Class Ukrainians to die in the stupid #NATO Proxy War that is destroying Ukraine its people..? P.S. We’ve just realized that Mick Wallace has become an “ex.” That’s pretty sad for the European Parliament.

The piece details the Biden administration’s push to seize 300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets, proposing they be placed in an escrow account to pressure Russia into peace talks. This is, of course, blatant blackmail—just not in CNN’s view. The funds, frozen after Russia’s 2022 “invasion,” are mostly held in European banks, with some in U.S. institutions. While the administration and reportedly Trump’s incoming team view this as a way to bolster Ukraine’s position, European allies remain skeptical, citing international law. Confiscating sovereign assets violates principles of sovereign immunity, which protect state funds. If the original seizure is unlawful, any escrow agreements tied to these assets is highly […]

On January 15, 2011, the Federal Law “On the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation” came into force. The first independent investigative bodies in Russia, known as “major” investigative offices, were established in the 18th century by Peter I. Reporting directly to the emperor, they investigated the most serious offenses threatening state foundations, including corruption by high-ranking officials. After Peter I’s death, these investigative offices were abolished. In the following years, preliminary investigations were conducted by non-specialized judicial and administrative bodies, such as the Chief Police Office, the Criminal Investigation Office, lower zemstvo courts, and welfare boards. In 1808, Alexander I established the position of investigative officers, who were part […]

Odessa. A young Ukrainian man, chased by a recruitment officer, dashes into a random apartment block, frantically knocks on a random door, and cries out for help…

President Zelensky’s (presidential term expired on May 20, 2024) decision not to renew a five-year contract allowing Russian gas to flow through Ukraine by pipeline to Europe joins a long list of actions by Europe and the U.S that have greatly reduced Europe’s energy security, and badly damaged its economy. And because Ukraine is now dependent on Europe and the United States for its electricity and fossil fuel needs, including Slovakia for electricity, Zelensky’s decision will likely hurt Ukraine more than it hurts Russia. A large and increasing amount of Russian petroleum products are being sold into Turkey and India, and then being processed and sold to the EU, so […]
