Russian President Vladimir Putin
RUSSIA warned of the “military colonisation” of Ukrainian territory by Nato countries yesterday as tensions continue to escalate.
Moscow deployed about 1,000 troops for military exercises close to the border as they practised repelling air strikes.
Russian Federation Council speaker Valentina Matviyenko told a press conference that Russia is concerned over Nato’s continued expansion eastwards.
The defence secretary’s resignation reveals not a split over principle but a dispute over pace of military spending, as Britain’s political Establishment unites behind deeper Nato commitments, argues NICK WRIGHT
Washington plays innocent bystander while pouring weapons and intelligence into Ukraine, just as it enables the Gaza genocide — but every US escalation leaves Ukraine weaker than the neutrality deal rejected in 2022, argue MEDEA BENJAMIN and NICOLAS JS DAVIES
