Putin extends his rule after an unfree and unfair election - so what's next?
Monday, 18 March 2024 Now the three-day electoral spectacle is done - a shiny semblance of democracy, unfree, unfair and underpinned by Soviet-style repressions - what is next for Vladimir Putin and for the country he leads?
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a massive aerial assault on Ukraine this Christmas, unleashing over 70 missiles and 100 drones on cities across the country. Kyiv and Kharkiv faced the brunt of the attack, with Kharkiv suffering significant damage from multiple ballistic missile strikes. The strikes targeted energy infrastructure, causing emergency blackouts and widespread destruction. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept over 50 missiles, but the scale of the attack left significant devastation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences following the deadly crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 near Aktau, Kazakhstan. The crash, which occurred during an emergency landing attempt, resulted in at least 42 fatalities, with 16 Russian nationals confirmed among the dead. Putin personally conveyed his sympathies to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, extending his support to the victims and their families. While investigations continue, the crash appears to have been caused by a collision with a flock of birds, though technical issues may have played a role in exacerbating the situation.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent remarks against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts. The tension arose after Zelensky publicly condemned Scholz for his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to supply Ukraine with advanced weaponry, such as Taurus cruise missiles. Rutte's statement reflects growing concern over the impact of internal disagreements on European unity and NATO’s collective strategy. Watch now to see Rutte’s strong rebuke of Zelensky’s actions.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.

In a new statement, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned that Moscow is considering resuming nuclear tests, which it has refrained from conducting since the collapse of the Soviet Union. This comes amid rising tensions with the United States, following American support for Ukraine's strikes deep into Russian territory. With the US potentially exploring its own nuclear test options, could we be on the brink of a new nuclear arms race? Watch as we break down the implications of this dangerous escalation and its potential global impact.
