Vladimir Putin

On November 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new law aimed at supporting soldiers involved in the ongoing war in Ukraine. The law allows military personnel who have served in Ukraine to have debts of up to 10 million rubles (approximately 95,869 dollars) forgiven, as long as the debts are part of legal proceedings that begin before December 1, 2024.

Former Bulgarian Minister of Defense and current head of the "Center for Security and Defense Management" at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Todor Tagarev, has stated in front of BNR that the likelihood of Russian President Vladimir Putin resorting to nuclear weapons is minimal.

The war in Ukraine, ongoing since February 2022, is now approaching its third year, teetering on a razor’s edge.

It’s a best-seller before it’s even released. The reason is the long-awaited Memoirs of Angela Merkel entitled “Freedom: Memories 1954-2021” (Freiheit: Erinnerungen 1954-2021).

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday promised more combat test-firing of an experimental hypersonic missile launched at Ukraine, as Volodymyr Zelensky appealed for updated air-defense systems to meet the new threat.

The latest statements from the leaders came hours after Ukraine's parliament shut down over heightened fears of a missile attack.

Russia said on Nov. 22 it had scuppered Kiev's military objectives for 2025 just after President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to the West by test-firing a new intermediate-range missile at Ukraine.

Putin announced the missile launch in a defiant address late on Nov. 21, saying the conflict in Ukraine had taken on a "global" nature, while hinting at strikes on Western countries.

The United States was informed of an experimental missile launch by Russia targeting Ukraine, with the Pentagon confirming the notification. Washington has alerted its allies about Moscow's intentions.

A new dimension is being added to the conflict in Ukraine after Russia‘s use of an unknown missile system, the Oreshnik, which is causing concern in the West.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Thursday that the Ukraine conflict is escalating into a global confrontation, accusing the United States and Britain of enabling Ukraine to attack Russian territory with their weapons. He warned that Moscow could retaliate against those who supply arms used against Russia.
