The explosion occurred at about 7 am in the Shushary area of the city’s Pushkinsky district, on Kolpino Highway, leaving the vehicle badly damaged. A passing bus also had its windows shattered by the blast. Russian news outlet Fontanka reported that the victim was a colonel serving as chief navigator of the 6th Air and Air Defence Army. According to the outlet, an explosive device attached beneath his vehicle was remotely detonated as he drove away. Fontanka reported that a family member nearby had been also hurt. Russian authorities have not officially identified the serviceman or confirmed the cause of…
With the exception of dads who apparently take great joy in arriving at the airport four hours early (minimum), and duty free shoppers, extra time waiting around before a flight is something most people want to avoid. So much so that “airport theory” – aka arriving as late as possible because airlines supposedly overestimate boarding times – became a major trend last year. While we certainly won’t endorse it (experts previously told Euronews Travel it was a really, really bad idea), we can understand going to lengths to avoid unnecessary airport time. Now, flight tracking app Flighty is hoping to…
Left-wing parties accuse the PP of hypocrisy, pointing out for example that it was a PP-led administration in Valencia that mishandled the deadly floods in October 2024 in which 229 people died. Carlos Mazón, the PP’s then-president of the Valencia region, was at a restaurant for hours as the crisis unfolded. He didn’t resign until a year later. Alberto Ibáñez, member of parliament for the leftist Valencian party Compromís, said that the PP “is in no position to lecture anyone on public ethics.” The conservative party “is still keeping Mazón in his seat in the Valencian parliament to preserve his…

The mutual attacks came hours after Russia and Ukraine concluded another round of trilateral peace talks, mediated by the United States. While both sides agreed to prepare another major prisoner swap, other issues, including territory and Europe’s participation in future talks, reportedly caused heated debates at the negotiating table. A member of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, described negotiations as some of the toughest yet, saying the Russians made strict demands and left little room for compromise. “Every inch of our land will be returned,” Vladimir Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation, said after the negotiations, describing Ukraine as “an…

The court rejected that argument, ruling that the measures could be adopted by a qualified majority of member countries. The judges also dismissed challenges to the bloc’s carbon border tax, energy efficiency rules and national emissions reduction targets. Six lawsuits were filed in July and August 2023, while PiS was in power. The seventh was lodged on Dec. 14, a day after Tusk took office with a promise to repair Warsaw’s relations with Brussels. His government reviewed the cases but decided not to withdraw them. The court’s decisions are final, but Tusk’s Poland is still among the countries pushing to…
