​The longer this war lasts, the higher the chances that it will spill over into Nato territory. Last night’s missile explosions that reportedly killed two people in the Polish village of Przewodów, 20km from the border with Ukraine, are testimony to a dangerous trend of miscalculation that could lead to escalation.

Ukrainian soldiers have been welcomed into Kherson by jubilant residents, after Russia said it had fully withdrawn from the key southern city.

As Vladimir Putin was finishing his first term in office in 2004, he sought to develop modern channels of communication with the world, especially the West. That is why the Valdai Club was launched, along with its annual conference in which the president would participate. It became one of the main venues where Russia’s leader would address the rest of the world.

 Les forces russes et d’autres personnes opérant sous leur commandement ont régulièrement torturé des détenus durant les six mois d’occupation russe d’Izioum, une ville de la région de Kharkiv dans le nord-est de l’Ukraine, a déclaré Human Rights Watch aujourd’hui.

A new wave of deadly Russian air strikes on Ukraine has killed more than 25 people and wounded over 100, according to authorities in Kyiv, in the most extensive attacks since the early days of the war.

Russia says it's re-opened the undamaged section of road on a key bridge to occupied Crimea that was hit by an explosion this morning.

Des bouillonnements en pleine mer. Dans des circonstances troubles, les gazoducs Nord Stream 1 et 2 reliant la Russie à l'Allemagne ont été subitement touchés par des fuites, en mer Baltique, lundi 26 et mardi 27 septembre. Les autorités des différents pays concernés n'ont pas trouvé d'explications à ce stade mais n'excluent pas l'hypothèse d'un sabotage.

Ukrainian forces have seized even more territory from Russia as they continue their counter-offensive, the country's president has said.

Alors que les prix de l’énergie explosent en Europe, la Russie, elle, brûle des quantités importantes de gaz naturel. Ainsi, une centrale située proche de la frontière avec la Finlande voit partir en fumée, tous les jours, l’équivalent de près de dix millions de francs de gaz.
