Russia is turning teenagers in Europe into tools of espionage and sabotage, offering pocket money for deadly missions. The UK and the EU warn that this hybrid war campaign is only escalating.

While many Republicans retreated, Lindsey Graham kept pressing—pushing military aid to Ukraine and pressuring Putin. The interventionist senator has long guided US policy, bridging party divides to shape sanctions and military support, all while keeping US-Ukraine relations at the forefront.

Six countries on  NATO ’s eastern flank, including Ukraine, are pulling out of the Ottawa Treaty and reintroducing landmines along 2,150 miles of border—what some are calling a new “Iron Curtain” against the growing threat of Russian invasion.

In the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, an unlikely player has joined “Russia’s coalition of evil.” Laos, a landlocked one-party authoritarian state sandwiched between NATO -aligned Vietnam and Thailand, is sending its sappers to Russia’s Kursk region under the guise of humanitarian demining. 

Three years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s defense industry is not just fighting for survival—it’s helping build Europe’s military future. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has launched a strategy to expand defense production abroad called “Build with Ukraine”, aiming to establish arms partnerships across NATO countries, support NATO rearmament, and integrate Ukraine into Europe’s security architecture.

Facing a workforce shortage, Russia is funneling thousands of North Korean workers into occupied Ukraine, using student visas as cover for forced labor. In slave-like conditions, these North Koreans are both building Putin’s empire in Donbas and funding Kim Jong Un’s nuclear dreams.
