Economist Jeffrey Sachs on sanctions against Russia: "Putin will easily survive this" (Der Spiegel, Germany)

Geoffrey Sachs, an expert on emerging economies, sees the conflict in Ukraine as a big failure of the West. He demands that Germany meet Putin halfway.

Behind the wave of reports on the course of the special operation in Ukraine, the strategic plan itself, according to which it proceeds, has been somewhat lost.

The special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine has turned the Transdniestria, which was forgotten by everyone, into a territory of strategic importance.

Why did the Pentagon conduct biological research in Ukraine and why are they dangerous for Russia?

The Russian Defense Ministry conducted training electronic missile launches to test the defense of the coast of the Kaliningrad region.
