#Russia’s war no longer ends at #Ukraine’s borders. The #Baltics may be the next target, but the battlefield is already wider: logistics, churches, hospitals, public opinion & #NATO's Article 5 itself. This is our major analysis of Russia’s next war👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/russia…

0.13% of US GDP. That is the “financial black hole” Czech pro-Kremlin outlets claim Ukraine has become. Trump’s Russian diesel deal gave them a new excuse to sell Ukraine’s betrayal as economic necessity. We did the math 👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/black-…

Trump is disarming Ukraine as another winter terror campaign starts. The US withholds ballistic warnings, leaving civilians no time to reach shelters. Starlink restrictions disrupt interceptors of jet-powered Shaheds. Putin launches missiles. Trump helps leave 🇺🇦 defenseless: iess.org.ua/analytics/the-ac…

You may have noticed that Russian bots suddenly got quieter online a few days ago. There is a reason. Ukraine hit the infrastructure that powers Russia’s synthetic influence machine: data centers, cloud systems, GPU clusters, computational capacity👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/sound-…

Manifest Weakness. Donald Trump's new American doctrine. By purchasing 300,000 tons of Russian diesel, Washington is financing the Kremlin’s war machine while pressuring Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian refineries and undermining years of it's own foreign policy. This is all the fallout from Trump's botched war against Iran. Rather than taking responsibility for his own disastrous decisions, he is trying to make Ukraine the scapegoat for his incompetence. iess.org.ua/analytics/manife…

Russian war criminal Sergey Surovikin must face punishment for his crimes. From Syria to Ukraine, his name is tied to mass destruction, civilian terror and deliberate attacks on life-supporting infrastructure. He belongs in court. Read👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/the-bu…

Bratislava is reopening the door to Russian military intelligence while telling NATO to lower its response threshold to Russian airspace violations. This gives Moscow a foothold inside the Alliance’s security architecture. Read how Slovakia is collaborating with Moscow.👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/bratis…

Moscow is handling a plague outbreak in Irkutsk roughly the way it handled a nuclear meltdown in 1986. First: silence. Second: minimization. Then: control the narrative rather than protect people. The USSR is gone, but the reflex survived. Read👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/chorno…

This incident is worth attention. Unfortunately, it represents a clear escalation pattern we've been anticipating for several months. While Belarus is the operational platform, the escalation logic is Kremlin-made.
Bruņoti nelegālo imigrantu pavadoņi draudēja mūsu karavīriem NBS karavīri apturēja 20 nelegālo imigrantu mēģinājumu nelegāli sķērsot mūsu robežu, taču atšķirībā no daudziem iepriekšējiem gadījumiem šoreiz provokācija bija īpaši demonstratīva un agresīva. Nelegālo migrantu pavadoņi, kuri uzturējās Baltkrievijas pusē bija bruņoti, izteica draudus NBS karavīriem, kā arī aktīvi mudināja un dzina migrantu grupu Latvijas virzienā. Vairākas stundas pēc šī konflikta maskās tērpti cilvēki iekļuva Latvijas teritorijā, sabojāja sadales skapi un nozaga kameras pirms paspēja ierasties robežsargu norīkojums, personas atgriezās Baltkrievijas teritorijā. Baltkrievijai būtu jāsaprot, ka šādi gadījumi var novest pie smagākām sekām pašai Baltkrievijai.

Robert Fico is putting Russian subjugation back on a pedestal. Ivan Konev, apart from "liberation", became known for Moscow’s post-war domination in Europe: Hungary 1956, Berlin 1961, Czechoslovakia 1968. In 2020, Czechia removed that symbol. Now, Fico brought it back. Read👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/pedest…

Putin is calling. Not with a public mobilization order. Yet. Russia is quietly stripping conscripts of legal protection before they even reach the recruitment office, stripping them of their right to a legal representative. This is how mobilization starts unannounced 👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/putin-…

Central Europe is preparing for Russian aggression. Poland warns Moscow may blame Ukraine for future strikes & adapts to shoot down aerial threats. Czechia signals Article 5 support for #Baltics & lowers deployment ceilings. Slovakia’s coalition cracks. More in our Digest👇 iess.org.ua/digests/digest-0…

Moscow is writing an alibi before the act. Kaliningrad is now being framed as “threatened” & “encircled" so that any future Russian move can be sold as self-defence. We have seen this script before. In December 2021 Russia demanded “security guarantees.” Then came invasion👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/kalini…

A city has been turned into a cage. In occupied Oleshky, Russia is using starvation and civilians as weapons: nearly 2,000 people, including 500 children, remain trapped while military positions hide inside their homes. World can not ignore this tragedy. Read👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/unhuma…

There are no “Two Ukraines", as Slovak MEP Milan Uhrík from Republika claims. Ukraine is under attack, and he is trying to push an old Kremlin narrative to excuse occupation. Disgusting. We explored this insanity. God bless our analyst... iess.org.ua/analytics/the-sy…

Russian subversion in Central Europe is no longer theoretical: probes, sabotage & kinetic pressure are becoming active operations. Region’s response is weakened by institutional paralysis and lingering ambiguity toward Moscow. More in our latest CEE Monitoring Digest👇 iess.org.ua/digests/digest-2…

Russia is hunting civilians in daylight. Kyiv was hit during working hours: science, healthcare, cafes, homes, gas stations are under attack. This was not “debris.” Not “collateral damage.” Not an accident. It was programmed precise terror against civilians. Read👇 iess.org.ua/analytics/daylig…

Today Russia directly threatened Europe. RIA Novosti published a text about a potential war against Lithuania, calling it another “special military operation” and suggesting it would be “very short.” Then the article was deleted. That deletion is not reassurance. 1/6
