The expanded meeting of the Russian Security Council poses no new threat as Russia is already operating at their capability limit.

Ukraine has not yet received the full lists from Russia for the planned "1,000-for-1,000" prisoner exchange agreed upon in Istanbul.

The moment has come when Russia can be forced to stop the war.

President Volodymyr Zelensky outlined the key advantages Ukraine holds in its war against Russia, emphasizing that these strengths lie not in weaponry, but in the people, morality, truth, dignity, and values.

Russian strikes on Ukraine are not a “response” to operations such as “Spider Web.” Russia is trying to cause as much suffering as possible to civilians; this is one of the elements of pressure.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda has called for the 18th EU sanctions package against Russia to be as far-reaching as possible. He proposed disconnecting the remaining Russian banks from the SWIFT system, blacklisting all vessels in Russia's so-called "shadow fleet," and expanding restrictions on energy companies that help finance the Russian state budget.

Satellite imagery reveals that Russia has started building protective shelters for aircraft at its military airfields following a Ukrainian special operation.

A Ukrainian presidential delegation is holding meetings in the U.S. Congress to discuss measures that could compel Russia to stop the war. Sanctions must make Russia feel that continuing the war is unsustainable.

There is no peace initiative in the world that Russia has not rejected. Yet the world continues to allow this behavior.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said that at the meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul this week, Russia again failed to demonstrate a real readiness for peace or negotiations.

Russia should really get to feel that war is worse than peace, so sanctions are required to make this happen.

The Shaheds launched by Russia to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities are evolving. Notably, their antennas now contain numerous new components.
