News of money previously given to #House Speaker Mike #Johnson's congressional campaign by #Russian nationals has re-emerged after the #Republican rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.

In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the #Texas-based American Ethane company.

Kallas appeared on Russia’s wanted list after she spoke in favor of dismantling a #Soviet-era monument in the Estonian city of #Narva which borders Russia.

We are dramatically understating the threat Donald #Trump and the #MAGA movement pose to the security of the #US, #Europe and the world.

It is time to move beyond the political spin offered by #GOP propagandists and Internet trolls and acknowledge that Trump and the MAGA movement are today active assets of Vladimir #Putin and the #Kremlin, as essential to #Russia’s future global ambitions as that country’s own armed forces.

#Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja #Kallas was asked what was preventing the free world from doing more to help #Ukraine:

"Fear keeps us from supporting Ukraine. Countries have different fears, be it nuclear fear, fear of escalation, fear of migration. We must not fall into the trap of fear because that is what #Putin wants. He wants us to be afraid and not support Ukraine out of fear."

"Let's be decisive and not let our adversaries dictate our future,"

"Even the end of the war does not mean the end of human suffering. If we look at our history, after the end of World War II in our countries, there were no military actions, but there were mass deportations and our culture, our language were repressed

European intelligence agencies have warned their governments that #Russia is plotting violent acts of sabotage across the continent as it commits to a course of permanent conflict with the west.

Russia has already begun to more actively prepare covert bombings, arson attacks and damage to infrastructure on European soil, directly and via proxies, with little apparent concern about causing civilian fatalities, intelligence officials believe.

CIA Director William #Burns offered a stark warning to lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Thursday: If you don’t approve aid to Ukraine now, Kyiv could lose the war by the end of the year.

“With the boost that would come from military assistance, both practically and psychologically, Ukrainians are entirely capable of holding their own through 2024 and puncturing Putin’s arrogant view that time is on his side,” he said.

A wave of Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries deep inside #Russia has left the #Kremlin racing to defend its own territory while still waging war on its neighbor. But the attacks have also achieved the unthinkable — leaving the world’s largest petrostate running low on petrol.

Diesel prices for Russian consumers have skyrocketed, rising almost 10 percent in the past week alone.

In a Security Council vote on Thursday, Russia used its veto power as a permanent member to block the renewal, while 13 of the other 14 member states present voted for it. #China, Pyongyang's closest ally, abstained.

Removing content related to human rights at the request of the Russian government and not because it violates Google’s content policies marks a “new trend,” Agentstvo said, citing an unnamed cybersecurity expert.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren urged the Department of Defense to rein in the use of Starlink in Russia and other unauthorized regions, saying the SpaceX-owned satellite business poses a “serious national security threat” to the US and its allies.

“SpaceX must make every attempt to ensure its Starlink devices and service are obtained and operated in full compliance with US law — but reports suggest it may not be doing so effectively,”
