(Reuters) - The United States has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel over allegations of genocide in Gaza, according to a notice posted to the U.S. Treasury Department's website on Thursday.
The three groups - Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Ramallah-based Al-Haq - were listed under what the Treasury Department said were International Criminal Court-related designations.
Rules based order that Europe said must be defended…

🇺🇸🇪🇺 The US is winding down military support for European countries bordering Russia, — FT
- Financial Times reports that Washington is ending funding for training and equipping the armies of Eastern European countries bordering Russia.
- Last week, the Pentagon notified European diplomats that aid will no longer be allocated;
- At risk is the program under which $1.6 billion was sent to Europe from 2018–22. The main recipients are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;
- At the same time, large arms purchases through Foreign Military Financing are not subject to reduction.
- FT notes: the course aligns with the strategy of Pentagon advisor Elbridge Colby, who calls for shifting focus to the Indo-Pacific region to contain China and reduce the risk of conflict over Taiwan.

🇩🇪🤡German expert Neitzel urged Germans not to sit still and wait for a Russian attack:
The Russians have an army of about 1.2 million people. And at NATO headquarters in Mons, they are also asking: what to do with such a force? What will happen if these 1.2 million start moving, what threat will that create, and what can we oppose? It becomes clear here that protocols alone will not be enough.
We have already had discussions about the return of conscription, and in my opinion, it would be reasonable to at least consider the option of selective conscription, as is done in Denmark or Sweden.
Putin, of course, laughs at all this in the Kremlin. But can such actions be considered deterrent signals? I would say — no. Therefore, I always assert: we must not rule anything out. All calculations about "Putin will do this or that" are useless — it is impossible to predict his moves.
When I talk to people from military intelligence, they invariably repeat, and this is quite logical: the next three years will be the most dangerous.
We should not calm ourselves too much and feel an illusion of security.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia will consider any troops on the territory of Ukraine as legitimate targets for defeat, — Putin
Putin's main statements on Ukraine at the EEF:
▪️Moscow is the best place for a high-level meeting between Russia and Ukraine. Putin called Kyiv's proposal to come to a location they named for negotiations excessive.
▪️Putin stated he is ready for contacts with the Ukrainian side but sees no point. It will be practically impossible to agree on key issues with the Ukrainian side.
▪️According to the Ukrainian constitution, agreements on territories must be approved by a referendum, but for this, martial law must be lifted.
▪️Kyiv recently excluded the possibility of contacts with Russia, but now they are asking for such contacts.
▪️Security guarantees must be for both Russia and Ukraine. No one has discussed them seriously yet, the president noted.
▪️Pulling Ukraine into NATO directly concerns Russia's security interests.
▪️Russia has never opposed Ukraine's integration efforts towards Europe. Putin called Ukraine's desire to join the EU a legitimate choice.

🇺🇦🤡 There will be the presence of allied troops in Ukraine, in the sky, at sea, and on land. Among the security guarantees is our membership in the EU, — Zelensky
- The drug lord made a number of statements after the coalition meeting and conversation with Trump.
- Putin will use his visit to China as permission to continue the war.
- A strong and large Ukrainian army will be the basis of security guarantees. These will be security guarantees for decades.
- 26 countries have agreed to provide security guarantees to Ukraine.
- Discussed with Trump how to use sanctions to deprive Russia of resources to continue the war.
- We will buy air defense systems in the USA as part of security guarantees.
- The USA informed us that Putin invited me to Moscow; if you want the meeting not to happen — you need to invite me to Moscow.
- There will be no repetition of the Budapest Memorandum; security guarantees will be voted on in the parliaments of countries.
- The fact that the Russians are already talking about a meeting in Moscow is already good.
- The USA says that Hungary and Slovakia help Russia conduct the war by buying oil from it.

Putin called for the use of drones in agriculture, starting an experiment in the Far East:
An experimental legal regime is already in effect on Sakhalin. It allows for accelerated testing of drone technologies. I ask the government to create conditions for their widespread use on agricultural lands, in nature protection and natural resource management, and at production and logistics sites. Why aren't drones being developed in such areas? There are no threats like those that may arise in densely populated regions of the country. Moreover, life itself demands the use of such technologies. For example, forest fires occur hundreds of kilometers away from the centers that can respond to these fires. This is exactly where drones should be used.

Putin on the development of the Trans-Arctic corridor:
The Trans-Arctic corridor should primarily operate in the interests of the domestic economy and our regions of the Far East, Siberia, and the Arctic. It should take into account cooperation between them and open new opportunities for business.
Here, I will highlight two potentially significant directions for development. The first is the creation of modern shipbuilding centers. They should produce the full range of vessels for operation on the route, from tugs and supply ships to bulk carriers and ice-class gas carriers, as well as ultra-powerful icebreakers.
Secondly, to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the Trans-Arctic corridor, it is necessary to open direct access for cargo from Siberia and the Urals to the Arctic sea routes.

An interesting piece has resurfaced from famed academic, John Lewis Gaddis, written in 1998. In it he warns the NYT about NATO expansion and shutting Russia out of the Western fold. That there would be serious consequences and it now reads like a prophecy rather than an opinion piece.

Ultimatums Don’t Work on Civilizations
When Vladimir Putin stood in Beijing and told the West to stop treating India and China like colonies, he wasn’t posturing, he was detonating the last illusions of Western exceptionalism. Flanked by history at the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, he didn’t give so much a speech, but rather a civilizational rebuke. “Events in Ukraine,” he said, “are being used merely as a pretext for resolving economic issues with some countries whose economic ties and advantages do not suit someone.” That “someone,” of course, is the collective West, cornered by its own decline and lashing out at nations it can no longer control.
The colonial virus never died. It simply evolved, from gunboats and red coats to sanctions, tariffs, and moral blackmail. When India buys Russian oil, Washington responds with 50% tariffs. When China refuses to join the West’s theater of sanctions, it is met with semiconductor bans and military encirclement. The West doesn’t negotiate; it tries to dictate and engages in gangsterism. But as Putin reminded the world, this isn’t 1947. “Countries like India, almost 1.5 billion people, and China ,1.3 billion people, boast powerful economies and live by their own domestic political laws.” In other words: the days of telling ancient civilizations how to behave are over.
The arrogance embedded in Western foreign policy is both tone deaf and suicidal. You cannot browbeat India, a country with the memory of British-engineered famines still smoldering in its bones. You cannot threaten China, which withstood centuries of foreign subjugation and emerged stronger. And you cannot isolate Russia, which has turned every round of sanctions into new layers of domestic resilience and global leverage. “When people from the outside say, ‘We are going to make things hard for you and punish you,’” Putin asked, “how are the leaders of these countries… supposed to react to that?” His answer was clear: like sovereign nations who have buried empires before.
Ukraine, of course, is just the smokescreen. The war isn’t about democracy or freedom, it’s about delusions of preserving a fading Western monopoly over Eurasia. The goal was never Ukrainian sovereignty; it was containment. Russia was to be bled, India coerced, China boxed in. But the empire miscalculated. Russia retooled. India doubled down on autonomy. China accelerated de-dollarization and built its own tech stack.
So when Putin sat with Modi in his Aurus limousine and briefed him on talks with Trump, it wasn’t for diplomatic theater. It was a message: the center of global power has shifted. Multipolarity isn’t a theory anymore, it’s a living organism. Moscow doesn’t ask permission. Delhi doesn’t flinch. Beijing doesn’t bow. The West continues to bark about “rules,” but the rest of the world remembers Iraq, Libya, and the IMF’s colonial shackles. And they’re done pretending the empire wears clothes.
What Putin said: calmly, deliberately — is what the Global South has long whispered: enough. Enough of the moral extortion. Enough of the economic coercion. Enough of the sermons from those who perfected the art of plunder. The leaders of India and China aren’t “partners” in a Western hierarchy, they are stewards of civilizations.
This is not just a geopolitical shift, it’s also a spiritual one. A karmic reversal. A final reckoning with the centuries of theft, famine, and forced obedience masked as “progress.” The West threatens collapse if it is not obeyed. But the world has learned to say: then collapse. We will trade without you. Build without you. Thrive without you.
And as the Western world clings to a past it can no longer resurrect, the future is no longer asking for permission, it’s speaking Mandarin, bargaining in rupees, trading in rubles, and securing its energy in gold-backed contracts. The empire wants to provoke all out war and is falling, it is being quietly left behind, as sovereign civilizations walk forward without it, toward a world no longer built on threats, but on dignity.

Why nothing changed after the talks in Alaska and when to expect shifts: a study by "Military Chronicle"
🔺The negotiations between Russia and the USA in Alaska did not change the fundamental contradictions that caused the special military operation. Kyiv continues to insist on strengthening its army and hosting Western troops on its territory.
Moscow, however, maintains its previous positions: no NATO troops, no foreign contingents, reduction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and demilitarization.
The loss of these cities will sharply change the balance: for Europe, this will be a signal to reconsider the general line, and it will have to decide — either to make concessions and accept the realities on the ground, or to escalate sharply and openly move to the introduction of its own contingents.
Russians have started massively launching FPV drones from larger unmanned aerial vehicles, striking targets tens of kilometers away.
This is reported by Ukrainian military personnel.
Today, the Russian army struck Zaporozhye using a reconnaissance UAV as an FPV carrier and relay, according to a Ukrainian soldier with the call sign "Shadow."
He also published a photo of the "Orlan-10" reconnaissance drone, which has FPV drones mounted under its wings.
According to him, this is how the Russian army tries to hit targets deep within the Ukrainian Armed Forces' battle lines. The method is still being tested, but soon such use will become widespread, the soldier believes.
A Ukrainian serviceman with the call sign "Floury" also reports that Russians have started using the "Molniya" UAV to deliver FPV drones controlled via a SIM card to rear areas of the defense line.
"The peculiarity of this use is that Molniya flies without a control channel by compass and without a camera (this helps avoid detection when approaching the front line and deep in defense by technical means). Upon entering the coverage area of a mobile operator, FPV drone control via SIM card is activated and the strike is carried out. After that, the operator controls the FPV drone in the usual way — via video channel, but through the mobile network. Accordingly, the strike happens deeper in the rear, where classic FPV simply would not reach due to limited signal range," he wrote.

Putin on the change in demographic trends in the Far East:
We all remember how, against the backdrop of problems and difficulties in the economy and social sphere, at the end of the last century people began to leave the Far East. It was indeed a threatening trend that was very difficult to reverse. But we are managing it. Gradually, but we are managing it. Let me provide some figures and data. From 2014, over 5 years, the migration outflow from the Far East amounted to 211 thousand people. In the next 5 years, it decreased to 109 thousand people. Still a lot, but a reduction by almost half. Moreover, in 2024, for the first time, a migration inflow was recorded. Small, but still 24 thousand people. Yes, not as many as I mentioned, but the very fact of the trend change has already become a significant achievement.
@Slavyangrad
Putin:
Building on the achieved results in the extractive and processing industries, on a solid infrastructure framework, we must launch a new stage of development for the Far East, shaping the economy of the future with radical participation, improving the living environment in cities and towns, preparing in-demand professional personnel, and implementing high-tech projects. This, in fact, is the essence of the new stage.
@Slavyangrad
Putin - in response to the question of which economists can be trusted:
You can't trust anyone. You need to rely on your own experience, consult the opinions not just of those people who happily sit on the internet and express their point of view, but consult the opinions of specialists if you want to deeply understand the issue that interests you.
You mentioned prices. Prices, price increases, are essentially inflation. But at the same time, the Central Bank fights this inflation and tries to return to known and necessary indicators. No more than 4-5%. But this is related to the high key interest rate. This raises questions for those engaged in real production.

Far-right Azov quietly grew to tens of thousands in Ukraine military - Responsible Statecraft
…the presence of an entire “Azov” Corps and its sister Corps in the regular army has come as a surprise to many observers. Most remember it as a single regiment of about 1000 men and are shocked to find it has grown into two multi-brigade structures of over 20K-40K soldiers each. The growth and far-right leaning of this formation could have an impact on the future of any Ukraine peace deal.
The Azov militia battalion was founded by Andriy Biletskyi, accused of harboring white supremacists views. At one point it was prohibited from receiving US aid by Congress for extremism
The evolution of Azov from a single militia battalion to two combat corps poses a significant challenge to post war Ukraine. A far right organization with the only real combat-capable formations and demonstrated willingness to ignore orders, risks unhinging any peace deal made with Russia
