While Donbas has captured public attention, the rest of Ukraine also suffers from Russia's war. In Sumy, a growing drone campaign portends more displacement as locals fear the city becoming a 'second Kherson.'

Neil Hauer reports from Sumy, a city which has grown increasingly war-weary as the threat of constant drone attacks and bombardments drag on the daily lives of its residents.

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

On the day of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, we must remember that the enemy still sows division through brute force and subversive, hybrid efforts.

Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus are the most disadvantaged victims.

Ensure the Ukrainian victory.

Help the people of Georgia.

The irony meter just broke.

The BBC isn't perfect, but it's one of the few things standing between our British values and a Trump-style takeover of our politics.

Nachrichten aus der Ukraine sind geprägt von Tod, Zerstörung, Leid, Dunkelheit. Doch es gibt auch schöne Nachrichten: Meine Freunde in Charkiw sind Eltern geworden. Ihre Tochter heißt Vira. Übersetzt so viel wie Glaube. Aus dem Glauben an die Zukunft ziehen Ukrainer:innen Kraft.

Russia deliberately targeted power substations linked to the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear plants last night. These are not random strikes, they are calculated attacks on Europe’s nuclear safety. Ukraine demands an emergency IAEA Board meeting to address this escalating threat.

Mehr als 450 Kampfdrohnen, 45 Raketen – Russland hat die Ukraine in der Nacht wieder heftig angegriffen. Es gibt Grafiken, die diese massiven kombinierten Attacken abbilden. Was sich so nicht vermitteln lässt: Die Angst, die Millionen von Menschen dabei empfinden.

Nach dem massiven russischen Angriff in der Nacht sieht mein Stromabschaltungsplan in Kyjiw sieben Stunden ohne Strom und dann 3,5 Stunden mit Strom vor. Dass es überhaupt einen Plan gibt, ist beinahe ein Wunder. Wie mehrfach gesagt: Das wird leider ein sehr harter Winter.

It's fascinating to watch Ben Shapiro suddenly draw moral lines in a "Buckley condemns the Birch Society" moment against the rise of Fuentes's Nazibroism but it is happening far too late to stop a radicalisation spiral on the American Right that Shapiro did so much to fuel

🧵 Across the world, democracy isn’t just under pressure, it’s facing epistemic collapse: a breakdown in the shared ability to know what’s true, to reason together and to hold power to account.

A new guest paper by @eliothiggins.bsky.social and @drnataliemartin.bsky.social explores how to fix it.
