Russian mercenaries more active in Africa since death of Wagner group leader
25 Aug 2024  |  The Irish Times  |  English  |  Africa
Russian mercenaries, particularly those associated with the Wagner Group, have intensified their activities in Africa following the death of their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in a plane explosion. Research by the Armed Conflict Locations and Event Data (Acled) indicates a significant increase in violence involving Russian troops in Africa, with notable involvement in Mali supporting military rulers against Tuareg rebels. The Wagner Group has been restructured and rebranded as Africa Corp, with Russia's government now openly acknowledging its role and financing. The group's activities have expanded to several African countries, with expectations of further influence and potential direct engagement in violence.

Ukraine Launches New Attack in Kursk Region of Western Russia
05 Jan 2025  |  www.nytimes.com  |  English  |  War in Ukraine
Ukrainian forces have launched a new offensive in the Kursk region of Russia, aiming to regain the initiative amid ongoing Russian assaults in eastern Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry reported a large-scale Ukrainian assault involving tanks and armored vehicles, claiming to have thwarted the attack. Ukrainian military sources confirmed the offensive but did not provide details. Analysts suggest the attacks might be a strategic misdirection to weaken Russian defenses elsewhere. The situation remains fluid, with numerous combat engagements reported in the region.

Kharkiv, the story from the heart of the war: "Flattened by bombs without food and medicine"
12 May 2024  |  www.lastampa.it  |  Italian  |  Humanitarian Crisis
Kharkiv is under renewed Russian attack, with significant bombings forcing evacuations in the region, particularly from Vovchansk. The situation remains dire, with shortages of food and medicine, and ongoing power outages. Despite the intense conflict, Kharkiv attempts to maintain normalcy. Ukrainian officials, including Governor Oleh Synehubov and President Volodymyr Zelensky, assure that the situation is under control, although fighting continues in the 'grey zone' near the border. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims control over several villages, while the Institute for the Study of War suggests the Russian strategy may aim to divert Ukrainian forces and create a demilitarized zone.

The U.S. confirms Ukraine fired long-range ATACMS into Russia for the 1st time
19 Nov 2024  |  Boise State Public Radio  |  English  |  Nuclear Doctrine
Ukraine launched ATACMS missiles into Russia, marking the first use of U.S.-made long-range weapons in the ongoing conflict. The attack targeted a weapons depot in Russia's Bryansk region, with mixed reports on the number of missiles intercepted. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlighted the country's long-range capabilities, while Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed the attack. The U.S. recently lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of such weaponry, potentially escalating tensions with Russia. Concurrently, Russian President Putin updated the country's nuclear doctrine, expanding conditions for a nuclear response, signaling a warning to Ukraine and its allies. The developments occur as President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine, prepares to take office.

Russia has intensified its attacks on the port infrastructure of southern Ukraine, particularly targeting Odesa, in an apparent effort to disrupt Ukraine's agricultural exports and trade. Recent strikes have resulted in casualties among port workers and significant damage to port facilities and civilian ships. Despite the escalation, the Russian fleet has avoided targeting merchant ships at sea to prevent negative impacts on its own exports. Over the past three months, nearly 60 attacks have been reported, causing widespread damage and injuries. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and the strategic importance of Ukraine's port infrastructure.

Russia Experiencing a New ‘Afghan Syndrome’ With Soldiers Returning From Ukraine
25 Oct 2023  |  jamestown.org  |  English  |  Social Issues
Russian soldiers returning from the war in Ukraine are exhibiting a new form of 'Afghan syndrome,' with reports of high crime rates and difficulties reintegrating into civilian life. The phenomenon is reminiscent of the post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by veterans of the Afghan war, but with the added complexity of many current veterans having pre-existing criminal backgrounds. The Russian government's response has been to attempt to reintegrate these soldiers and to offer significant compensation to the families of fallen servicemen, but this has not prevented the spread of violence. The situation raises concerns about the stability and future of Russian society, as well as the moral implications of the Kremlin's approach to the returning veterans.

Polar clean ups: Fighting pollution in the Russian Arctic
22 Apr 2024  |  www.rbth.com  |  English  |  Conservation Efforts
The Russian Arctic is facing significant pollution challenges with up to four million tons of waste and 12 million iron barrels littering its coastal zones. Major clean-up operations by the Russian army and government-supported initiatives have been underway, including the removal of over 16,000 tons of scrap metal. WWF Russia's Arctic Biodiversity Conservation project coordinator Varvara Semenova has observed extensive trash, including old barrels and derelict buildings, which pose a threat to local flora and fauna. Microplastics are increasingly found in marine life, affecting the Arctic food chain. Human-wildlife conflicts are also rising, with polar bears entering human settlements. Clean-up efforts have been bolstered by federal significance upgrades for more Arctic regions, and volunteer programs like Green Arctic have contributed significantly, with volunteers from various countries participating in environmental expeditions to restore ecological balance.

Russia’s Proposal to Redraw Baltic Sea Borders Sparks Concern From Neighbors
22 May 2024  |  The Moscow Times  |  English  |  Regional Security
Russia's Defense Ministry has proposed changes to its maritime borders in the Baltic Sea, raising concerns among neighboring countries like Finland and Lithuania. The proposal, which has since been removed from the government's website, is seen as a potential move to exert pressure on Russia's western neighbors, all EU and NATO members. Experts suggest the changes could create disputes and a 'gray zone' in the region, affecting both military and commercial activities. Despite the Kremlin's insistence that the proposal is not politically motivated, regional officials view it as an escalation against NATO and the EU.

The investigation by CORRECTIV, in collaboration with Qurium, has significantly disrupted the Russian propaganda campaign known as Doppelganger. This campaign, which used fake websites and social media to spread anti-Ukrainian and anti-Western narratives, was linked to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Key portals and domains have been taken down following inquiries to service providers like Hetzner, Apliteni, and 1API GmbH. The campaign's infrastructure has been dismantled, reducing its influence. The investigation also revealed the involvement of Russian state actors and companies like Social Design Agency and Struktura, which have been sanctioned by the EU.

Who are the Russians fighting jihadists in Mali?

Russian paramilitaries, including former Wagner Group members, are engaged in combat against jihadists in Mali, particularly in the battle of Tinzaouatène. This marks a significant defeat for the group in Africa, following previous operations in Ukraine, Libya, and Syria. The CSP-DPA, a Tuareg separatist alliance, holds some Russian prisoners but claims no animosity towards Russia, attributing the conflict to historical grievances. The Russian Ministry of Defense is reportedly recruiting heavily for the Africa Corps, aiming to increase its presence on the continent. The situation highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics involving Russian mercenaries in Africa.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged all parties to avoid further escalation in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 1,200 Israelis and 1,100 Palestinians dead. Gaza faces a humanitarian crisis as its sole power station shut down due to a fuel shortage. The US and Israel are in discussions about safe passage for Gaza civilians. British officials are investigating the involvement of UK citizens in the conflict. The international community, including the European Commission and Pope Francis, condemned the violence and called for the release of hostages. Israel is preparing for a ground offensive, while tensions rise with Hezbollah in Lebanon and potential involvement from Syria.
