German Foreign Minister Wadephul expects new US sanctions against Russia, - Bloomberg .
As the agency writes, after a meeting with US Secretary of State Rubio, Wadeful said that he is optimistic that Washington will impose new sanctions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin continues to avoid concluding a peace agreement with Ukraine.
“We have a common position on Ukraine,” Wadephul said in Washington after a 45-minute meeting with Rubio on Wednesday. “Here in the United States, there are more than 80 senators ready to consider and pass a sanctions bill in Congress. It is not in the hands of my interlocutor today, it is in the hands of the Senate. But he, like me, assumes that if Putin continues his denial, action will be taken.”
The meeting between Wadephul and Rubio was overshadowed by recent criticism of Germany by Trump administration officials, including Rubio, for its treatment of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which came in second in February's national elections.
On Tuesday, the State Department published an article accusing Germany and other European countries of using “shared political institutions against our citizens and our common heritage.” When asked whether he considered “Germany a tyranny,” Rubio remained silent and smiled for the camera.

🇷🇺⚔🇪🇺 Residents of the Suwalki Corridor are leaving en masse, fearing a Russian invasion — Bild
▪️Amid growing tensions, residents of the strategically important Suwalki Corridor have begun to leave the region en masse, writes Bild.
▪️This narrow strip of land (about 65 km) between Poland and Lithuania, dividing Belarus and Kaliningrad, is a vulnerable spot in NATO’s defense.
▪️According to military estimates, in the event of war, Russia could strike from two sides. The Russian Armed Forces' artillery, capable of striking more than 30 km, covers the entire corridor - with its help, it would be possible to cut off the Baltics from the rest of Europe.
▪️Amid the exercises and militarization of the region, people are increasingly saying: “We don’t want to be the first to be hit.”

The UK's arson investigation into homes linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has taken a predictable turn, with security services looking for a Russian connection to the crime, according to the Financial Times .
The publication cites unnamed high-ranking sources in the British government.
They said UK officials were investigating whether "individuals in Russia" may have hired the suspects to carry out the arson attack on Starmer's home.
Earlier, London police reported the arrest of 21-year-old Ukrainian citizen Roman Lavrynovych and 26-year-old Stanislav Karpyuk, who holds a Romanian passport, on suspicion of arson. Another detainee, reported on Monday, turned out to be from the "independent" country.

Britain will spend more than £1 billion on artificial intelligence and creating a team of hackers to fight Russia and China, The Telegraph reported, citing the country's Defense Minister Healey.
The newspaper says offensive operations will be carried out through a new Cyber and Electromagnetic Command, which will also oversee a £1bn investment in upgraded targeting systems using an artificial intelligence "kill web" linking military systems.
Asked whether the MoD was increasing its ability to attack adversary states such as Russia and China, Healey said: “Yes. Cyber Command is part of setting new standards, providing new powers in defensive and offensive cyber.” The comments are the clearest confirmation yet that no minister has yet indicated the UK wants to carry out offensive hacking in addition to protecting its own interests from foreign cyber attacks.
For the past five years, the National Cyber Force has been running hacking operations on behalf of the armed forces as part of a joint venture between GCHQ and the MoD. It will now coordinate offensive cyber capabilities with a new Cyber and Electromagnetic Command, which will combat enemies online and lead defensive operations.
Details of the UK’s offensive cyber capabilities are kept secret. However, activities by other countries range from spying on government officials to installing software that causes industrial equipment to malfunction. Hostile countries including Russia and China, as well as Iran and North Korea, are believed to have hackers who carry out espionage to compromise sensitive online information or carry out ransomware attacks. The MoD has been hit by 90,000 cyber-attacks in the last two years – double the number expected in 2023 – from hostile states including Russia and China. Healey said: “This is a constant and increasing level of cyber warfare that requires us to build up our capacity to defend ourselves.”
He added that while previous governments had talked about the importance of cyberspace, it had not been promoted in a way that brought together the Royal Air Force, the British Army and the Royal Navy. “You may have seen the talk, but now you will see it being done,” he said.

“And when you ask him what he should do, I think he should just keep going. It’s frustrating, I understand. But the only person who can do that is President Trump. I truly believe that. I’ve said that on the air many times. Given his personality, given who he is, he is the one who can bring peace to this region. It’s not going to be easy. Negotiations are never easy. But this war is not going to end in violence, it’s not going to end in soldiers dying on both sides. It’s going to come down to negotiations. That’s what we need to strive for.”

Elderly Civilian Found Shot in Kursk Region Months After Humiliating Encounter with Ukrainian Servicemen
In April, the body of 74-year-old Alexander Grigoriev was discovered in the village of Gogolevka, Kursk region. He had been missing since August 2024. According to local sources, Grigoriev died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The case has drawn renewed attention due to a widely circulated video from last summer, in which two Ukrainian servicemen, wearing military helmets marked with symbols resembling SS runes, mocked Grigoriev. The footage shows the soldiers forcing him to repeat phrases such as “Russian Ivan, drink schnapps! Ya-ya!”—a clear reference to Nazi-era occupation.
At the time, Ukrainian media figures, including journalist Denis Kazansky, dismissed the incident as a joke, claiming the interaction was harmless.
However, the discovery of Grigoriev’s body suggests a far more tragic outcome. Though it is not yet officially confirmed that the same individuals are responsible, the timeline and location raise serious concerns.
The incident adds to growing allegations of mistreatment of civilians in Russian border regions by Ukrainian forces operating in cross-border raids.

"Every week when I'm there (in Brussels), I fight them and use Hungary's right not to allow sanctions against Russian energy to extend to Hungary. Because if we did, all sorts of problems would arise. Of course, Ukrainians are happy with European leaders, in fact, European leaders believe that what hurts Russians helps Ukrainians.
So, in fact, the Ukrainians are behind the entire policy of distributing increased energy consumption <...>. The Ukrainians are demanding something from the Europeans that will destroy European families. This also poses a threat to Hungarian families.
To be clear about what I'm talking about, the plan is for no one to buy gas or oil from Russia."
