The Italian minister said Fedorov was “moved” by the proposal and saw it as “a mark of respect and friendship,” but he didn’t elaborate on whether Fedorov accepted or not. Crosetto strongly praised Fedorov, who has been credited with bringing a technology overhaul to Ukraine’s military but also clashed with top generals. “Fedorov embodies innovation; he is one of those who has completely changed the rules of the game on the battlefield, enabling Ukraine first to hold its ground and then to take the initiative,” Crosetto said, adding that Fedorov was faced with “a resistance to change” that is also…

“I have no other way to describe it but an escalation of attempts,” she said in the interview, adding that she feared for her job and hence was afraid to say “no” to Khan’s advances. Khan has denied any wrongdoing and, according to Reuters, called the Friday vote “unlawful, procedurally unfair and unsupported by evidence.” The vote to fire Khan comes a week after the U.S. administration announced a campaign to dismantle what it called a “threat posed by the ICC to U.S. sovereignty.” Washington argues that the court should not have the authority to investigate and prosecute U.S. citizens.

At least five deaths directly linked to power cuts — including a cancer patient — were reported by local media…
Why settle for one city when you could visit four?

New research from FlixBus has revealed that a number of routes across Europe offer easy connections and affordable stays. The travel company looked at destinations across the continent served by its network, identifying four-stop routes with journeys under five hours a…
What’s more, Russia also uses drones, which sometimes violate NATO airspace. Russian forces regularly sabotage the flight of Ukrainian drones, causing them to stray into NATO territory. Of course, NATO members have drones too — and they plan to buy more. “Ukraine has really accelerated our technological development,” Vice Admiral Ewa Skoog Haslum, Sweden’s chief of joint operations, told me. “It has also made the public at large aware of drones. The Swedish armed forces, like armed forces elsewhere in NATO, are constantly exercising with and against drones. But sometimes a large or urgent situation has to occur for things…
