🔥“Security researchers say they duped pro-🇷🇺 Russia cybercriminals into targeting a fake critical infrastructure organization, which the crew later claimed - via their Telegram group - to be a real-world attack (on what looked like) a water treatment plant to a remote attacker.”

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

🇪🇪🇷🇺Tensions are escalating even further on the Estonia–Russia border.

🔹️The so-called “little green men” have already appeared — they are clearly not border guards, have no identifiable markings or insignia, and most importantly, they are armed.

Moscow Times reports that following the coal industry, a crisis began in the metallurgical industry in Russia. And this is despite the fact that Russia needs metal for the creation of military equipment.

Day 1324 of my 3 day war. I asked my generals how we will deal with Tomahawk missiles if we can’t even stop Ukrainian drones. They looked nervously at the window.

I remain a master strategist.

Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

Maria Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize – has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:
