Around 11:30 UTC the ship Magic Seas make 2 sharp turns in what appears to be an evasive maneuver. It forces another ship to change course.

Human Rights Watch documented at least 45 Russian drone attacks in Kherson’s Antonivka and Dniprovskyi districts since June 2024, appearing to deliberately target civilians and infrastructure, including healthcare facilities, constituting war crimes and potential crimes against

About six weeks ago I wrote in The Atlantic that the gutting of the NSC would mean that “The Pentagon, Treasury Department, Department of Homeland Security, Central Intelligence Agency, and other agencies could likewise set up their own mini–foreign policies, each based on the

The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

I was in Kursk with Ukrainian forces. Russian civilians had consistent access to food, safe shelter, medicine. None of the many I interviewed showed signs of torture or mistreatment. In fact, Ukrainian medics would tend to any injuries. Nor did they display the instinctive fear

Regarding President Trump’s statement about 17 Patriot batteries, I have serious doubts, not just because of the number, but mostly because of the interceptors. The depletion of interceptors is a much more serious problem than the batteries themselves

This might actually go down as one of the poorest attempted terror attacks in history. Three Palestine Action members attempted to ram a van through a perimeter fence at Leonardo’s radar/laser production plant in Edinburgh, only made it about a foot before becoming stuck.

The seriousness of the situation on the frontlines was recently laid out in detail by Olexandr Solonko, a soldier currently serving in Donetsk Oblast. I strongly recommend reading the translated version closely if you’re trying to understand the situation on the ground. Thread:

A few important nuances on the figure cited by CNN, specifically, the claim that Russia may be days or weeks away from surging into a heightened summer offensive with 160,000 troops. Important context: These are not newly arrived forces, and there are some caveats:

3/ This isn’t to downplay the seriousness of the threat or suggest it should be ignored. But without proper context, such statements risk being misinterpreted, as if Russia had suddenly deployed an additional 160,000 troops for a final offensive out of nowhere

Super good visuals showing what are now vulnerable public TV and Radio stations and how much they largely serve rural communities and fill “news deserts.” Nothing good will come of this removal of funding.
