Russland überzieht die Ukraine mit Terrorattacken und führt einen Schattenkrieg gegen Europa. Was auf dem Spiel steht, dazu mein Interview. Auch mit Bezug auf mein neues Buch: „Warum Russland nicht aufhören wird. Sieben Thesen“ @CHBeckLiteratur t-online.de/nachrichten/ausl…

The area sown with potatoes by Russian farmers this year has fallen to the lowest it's been in the last 18 years. The reason is that it's currently unprofitable to grow potatoes. Purchase prices are now 22,9 rubles when production costs are 33-36 rubles.

Steve Witkoff's in St Petersburg to meet President Putin: what are this morning’s Russian newspapers saying about the visit? Plus, an interesting editorial…with a warning for the Russian authorities. #ReadingRussia

💥🛩️🛩️The second Russian aircraft lost today also appears to have been a Su-30SM, like the one that crashed in Kaliningrad. This time, however, the crew did not survive. The location and circumstances remain unknown.
The Su-30SM crash in Kaliningrad apparently wasn’t Russia’s only aviation incident today. Russian channels are hinting at another incident, this time apparently fatal. No further details are available.

Solange sich Putin - der Logik seiner imperialen Politik folgend - sicher sein kann, dass in Europa ein lautstarkes Milieu existiert, das als Echokammer seiner Propaganda dient und das seiner Kriegspolitik hinreichend Legitimität verleiht, wird er seine Kriege brachial weiterführen.👇🏽

Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: “We will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.” Another paper: “Russia’s borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.” #ReadingRussia

Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

Nearly 2 in 3 Americans say President Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself—and most of the increase over the past year comes from people who lean Republican, according to a Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. wapo.st/3Wcia7p

Aujourd'hui, l'Ukraine 🇺🇦 a validé le plan de fortification du pays, objectif 2028. La construction d'immenses lignes de défenses va se poursuivre. Pour rappel, les lignes visibles sur la photo ci-dessous sont déjà complètes dans l'est du pays. De nouvelles lignes de ce type sont en préparation au nord et au nord-est du pays pour protéger l'Ukraine des offensives russes. Ces lignes composées de 3 fossés anti-chars, des dents de dragons et de nombreux barbelés et fils de fer sont très difficilement franchissables, ce qui augmente le nombre de pertes côté russe.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Iuliia Mendel, a Ukrainian journalist and press secretary. She’s best known for serving as Zelenskyy’s spokesperson during the early years of his presidency and then, years later, turning into a Kremlin-aligned, fierce critic of him. 1/25

A rich crop of 🇷🇺 trolls and “useful idiots” under this very simple post. If you are still on Twitter and are in a mood for a cleanse of your feed, you are welcome.
Good to see this important piece in the NYT. The link to the full article is in the replies.
