FERDINAND KNAPP | Politico — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:54:37 +0000

Several residential buildings were reportedly hit and all of the Russian capital’s airports shut down as a result of the attack.

Ukrainian drones struck several targets around Moscow on Wednesday night, setting an oil refinery on fire and forcing the Russian capital’s airports to suspend flights.

Both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the attacks. Photos and videos circulating on social media and news agencies showed the refinery on fire, with thick black smoke rising above the site.

“Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region — for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit,” Zelenskyy wrote on X on Thursday morning.

The Kremlin on Monday welcomed the arrival of a Russian-flagged oil tanker to Cuba, saying energy supplies to the fuel-starved island had been discussed with the U.S. ahead of its delivery.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow considered it its duty to help Cuba, according to Russian state news outlet RIA Novosti. He added that Havana needed petroleum products amid a de facto U.S. oil blockade.

Kremlin says Britain was involved in Ukraine’s missile strike on Russia

Reuters — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 22:08:40 +0000

MOSCOW – The Kremlin on March 11 accused British specialists of involvement in a deadly Ukrainian strike on the Russian city of Bryansk that used British Storm Shadow missiles and said it would take Britain’s role “into account”.

The Bryansk regional governor said the strike on March 10 killed at least six civilians and injured 37 in what he called a “terrorist missile attack”, without specifying what was hit. Ukraine said it had struck a key plant producing missile components. Moscow accused it of deliberately targeting civilians.

Asked by Reuters if there would be a military response to the use of British missiles against sovereign Russian territory, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would take into account the British involvement.

Russia Struggles to Find a Response to U.S.–Israel Attack on Iran

Pavel K. Baev | Jamestown — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 22:39:08 +0000

The U.S.–Israeli airstrikes against Iran that began on February 28 shocked Moscow. Russian experts argued that the narrow agenda of U.S.–Iranian talks in Geneva, focused on Iran’s nuclear enrichment, indicated U.S. preparations for a limited strike centered on Iranian nuclear assets as in June 2025 (Rossiiskaya Gazeta, February 26). Some state-affiliated media speculated about low support for a military operation in the Middle East in the United States (Izvestiya, February 26). The Kremlin did not, at least publicly, anticipate the United States’ massive first strike on Iranian leadership (Kommersant, March 1). Russian President Vladimir Putin staged an emergency virtual meeting of his Security Council after the strikes. Unlike the usual protocol, the Kremlin did not publish a word on the proceedings (RIA Novosti, February 28).

The end of the START: US and Russia no longer have limits on their nuclear arsenals

Sasha Vakulina | Euronews — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 22:14:23 +0000

For the first time in over half a century, the US and Russia have no legally binding agreement limiting their strategic nuclear forces. Does the nuclear race begin now as the New START treaty expires on Thursday, or is it already under way?

The last remaining bilateral treaty between the United States and Russia limiting strategic nuclear arms expires on Thursday, leaving the two countries with no control over their nuclear arsenals.

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) was signed in 2010 by US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev.

Under its provisions, the two countries committed to reducing strategic nuclear forces and opened the door to extensive on-site inspections to verify compliance.

The pact between Washington and Moscow, formally known as the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, restricted each side to no more than 1,550 nuclear warheads on no more than 700 missiles and bombers — deployed and ready for use.

Russia plans a nuclear power plant on the moon within a decade

Guy Faulconbridge | Reuters — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 20:14:45 +0000

MOSCOW, Dec 24 (Reuters) – Russia plans to put a nuclear power plant on the moon in the next decade to supply its lunar space programme and a joint Russian-Chinese research station, as major powers rush to explore the earth’s only natural satellite.

Ever since Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to go into space in 1961, Russia has prided itself as a leading power in space exploration, but in recent decades it has fallen behind the United States and, increasingly, China.
