Putin: “Elon Musk is a genius — just genuinely a genius” The Kremlin chief said Russia maintains contact with Musk on low-Earth orbit satellite constellations, despite political disagreements.

⚡️ “Putin will defeat Ukraine”: Kasparov warns Europe of its last chance to stop Russia The Russian opposition figure published a scathing op-ed in The Telegraph, warning that unless Europe urgently increases military and financial aid to Ukraine, the consequences could be catastrophic. “As the fifth year of fighting drags on, Ukraine faces a dire winter ahead. The situation is stark: if Ukraine does not immediately receive funding and the weapons it needs from Europe, it will lose.” If things continue as they are, there will be no “after the war” — at least not in a world resembling the one we live in today. Putin will be dictating the terms. According to Kasparov, there is only one option left: unfreeze Russian sovereign assets held in Belgium and use the money to arm and support Ukraine. Otherwise, he warns, Europe risks losing its ability to shape its own future.

💥 Zelenskyy: "Maybe I'm not such a big humanitarian as Putin, of course. But I try my best" In an interview with ABC News, Zelenskyy was asked whether accusations that he was insufficiently grateful to the US offended him. In response, he reflected on gratitude and what it means to be human: "Better to have such partners like me, grateful at the moments when we really feel this, than to be grateful each second and be like Putin. Be very grateful. But when you will go, yes, the knife will come to your back."
