Russia has begun using its newest long-range air-to-air missile in combat for the first time—and it could shift the aerial battlefield.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has defended a controversial new anti-corruption law that sparked public protests across Ukraine this week, assuring citizens that the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies will not be compromised and that revisions are already underway.

Russia has handed prison keys back to the FSB— the main successor agency to the Soviet Union's secret police KGB—reviving its Gulag system designed for abuse and torture. For Ukrainians held by Russia, the risks of long prison terms and fabricated court cases escalate.
