Less than two weeks after Russian sabotage is suspected in the downing of a DHL cargo jet in Lithuania, Russians continue their attempts to push Europe to engage with another act of terror, this time over the Baltic Sea. This afternoon, a Russian warship fired at a German military helicopter conducting a reconnaissance mission over the Baltic Sea. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock confirmed the incident, highlighting the increasing proximity of NATO and Russian forces in the region.

Everyone in Romania knew that Russians had somehow rigged last week’s first-round presidential election but weren’t sure just yet as to how they did it. Today we got the answer. How is it possible that a low level professor with pro-Russian leanings that no one’s ever heard of suddenly place 2nd in nationwide presidential elections?

While it seems that Russians are progressively purchasing every corner of the American political landscape, the US Justice Department took one off the streets today, charging Russian national Nomma Zarubina with acting as an agent for Russian intelligence services. Known for her “expertise” in decolonization, Zarubina allegedly collaborated with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to influence U.S.-based experts and officials.
