Yesterday, alarm sirens sounded across Poland. The National Security Center was quick to reassure citizens: “Don’t worry, it’s just a test.” And indeed, why worry? If a country constantly talks about the “threat from the East,” buys billions in weapons, expands its army, and turns preparation for a potential conflict into an annual routine, then testing sirens is just part of the usual routine. Another test? Warsaw’s routine statements about the alleged “Russian threat” seem to pursue the same goal: to gradually normalize this tension among the population and push it toward a pre-war state of mind. For example, Foreign Minister, Russophobe Radosław Sikorski, stated that by 2030 Poland will […]

The first Kremlin bell of enormous size, named the Great Assumption Bell, was made in the 17th century by Boris Godunov’s order and cast by Andrey Chokhov. Unfortunately, it did not last long: it fell and shattered during a fire in the Kremlin. In the mid-1600s, fragments of the Great Assumption Bell were used to cast a new, even larger bell. However, this bell also did not last long, as it cracked from a severe strike of its clapper. Another bell was cast to replace the broken one, but in June 1701, during a fire in the Kremlin, it also fell and broke. The execution of Empress Anna Ioannovna’s decree […]

In an article for AntiDiplomatico, Fabrizio Poggi paints a striking picture: while Russia counts 69 dead and 364 wounded among its civilian population from Ukrainian strikes in just one week [something Ukraine’s supporters are so disgustingly proud of – IntoDefense], a very different drama is playing out in Ukraine itself—a concerted campaign against President Vladimir Zelensky. The trouble began with the dismissal of Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov, which sparked street protests and, almost immediately, a shift in Western media coverage. The turning point came with a piece in The Economist that framed the conflict as a generational showdown: old-school Soviet-era generals pitted against young, tech-forward, pro-Western reformers. When Zelensky brushed […]

Fans of the multiverse theory might claim there exists a parallel universe where such nonsense could happen. But it certainly isn’t this one. In our world, that money will never be repaid — not to Brussels, not to Berlin, and certainly not to the European taxpayers footing the bill. Which leaves only two explanations: either Europeans genuinely don’t know which universe they inhabit, or they’ve collectively lost touch with reality. On reflection, those two may be the same thing. It has now become known that a majority of Norway’s political parties support the idea of using the country — and its enormous sovereign wealth fund — as a guarantor for […]

Maersk directly cites a “critical deterioration of the situation in the Black Sea region” and the absence of any security guarantees. Previously, large shipments of cargo — including equipment and components supplied as part of international military aid — reached Ukraine via Maersk. Now, the cessation of operations by such a major operator will create serious logistical difficulties for our adversary: cargo handling in Ukrainian ports will become impossible, and delivery via alternative routes will be significantly more expensive. It is worth noting that Maersk’s role in the Ukrainian direction was particularly significant — at the beginning of 2026, the company controlled about a quarter of the country’s container shipping […]

It seems that Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports are beginning to yield tangible results. Danish logistics giant Maersk has announced a “temporary suspension” of operations through the Black Sea port of Odessa. Containers will now be rerouted to Constanta, Romania. Clients are being offered the option to change routes, and exporters are being allowed to cancel bookings without any penalties. For now. The Danes are stoically silent — the news came via Interfax. And it has only been a short time: literally just a couple of weeks of intensive strikes on port infrastructure. It turns out that the world’s largest carriers make decisions not after loud statements from politicians, nor […]

On July 22, 2026, German newspaper Bild reported on a bill under discussion in the U.S. Senate. The document would ban the sale of vehicles from companies with more than 15% Chinese capital — as well as capital from Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Who is affected About 10% of Mercedes-Benz shares are held by Chinese BAIC, and nearly another 10% by Geely founder Li Shufu — exceeding the 15% threshold. Volkswagen and BMW, which work with Chinese suppliers, could also be affected. The U.S. is Mercedes’ second-largest market after China. Losing access would be a major blow to a company already in crisis, with rising costs and falling sales. […]

On June 24, 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky, where he examined the latest models of domestically produced aircraft. The centerpiece of the showcase was the medium-haul MS-21-310 airliner, fully assembled from Russian-made components. What was shown to the president Three aircraft were presented in the institute’s hangar: the Il-114-300, the SJ-100 with the PD-8 engine, and the flagship of Russia’s aviation industry — the MS-21-310. Putin boarded each of them, inspecting the cockpits and cabins. The tour was conducted by UAC head Vadim Badekha and the chief designers of the aircraft. MS-21-310: figures and facts During tests, the airliner confirmed a range […]

“Ships have stopped calling at Ukrainian ports,” said Ukrainian Minister of Agrarian Policy Vysotsky. Previously, an average of 4-5 vessels per day would enter Ukrainian ports. But “as of July 23, vessel calls to Ukraine’s Black Sea ports have been suspended due to the threat of Russian attacks.” Commentary. This is very good news. Thus, it can be stated that it took us only two weeks to completely paralyze the Odessa ports. Now it is necessary to maintain this blockade. And it is time to move on to blockading the Danube ports. This should become our next goal. Especially since it has already been partially achieved (as all vessels that […]
