For the first time, the EU has sanctioned a US citizen, John Mark Dougan, a former Florida deputy sheriff with dual US-Russian citizenship. Living in Russia since 2016, he’s accused of running pro-Kremlin info ops from Moscow aimed at election meddling and discrediting Western leaders.

New KIIS poll: 72% of Ukrainians are ready to support a hard compromise peace plan from Europe, one that freezes the frontlines but includes real security guarantees. At the same time, 75% flatly reject the so-called “Russian” plan that demands withdrawal, disarmament, and surrender.
