Baltic nations end electricity ties to Russia through Soviet-era grid and tightening EU ties
After the disconnection plans were announced, propaganda campaigns cropped up on social media and in printed leaflets in city streets that issued fake-news warnings about blackouts, severe energy shortages and sky-high energy bills for consumers.
China and Russia will continue promoting the “correct view” of World War II history, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said. He emphasized both nations' sacrifices in defeating fascism and vowed to defend the global order led by the UN. Wang hailed China-Russia ties as “tenacious” and not influenced by external forces. With the 80th anniversary of WWII’s end approaching in 2025, Beijing and Moscow aim to counter historical distortions. Russia has criticized the West’s alleged attempts to rewrite history, particularly regarding the Soviet Union’s role in Nazi Germany’s defeat.

EU militarization is a “deep concern” for Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated, warning that the bloc’s increased defense spending is “primarily aimed at Russia” and undermines peace efforts in Ukraine. During an emergency summit, EU leaders approved an €800 billion rearmament plan. Moscow has slammed the move, accusing the EU of fueling confrontation instead of seeking diplomacy.
