Sixteen years. That’s how long Viktor Orban kept Brussels on edge, blocked loans, bargained over oil, and built an "illiberal democracy" right in the heart of the European Union. On Sunday, Hungarian voters put an end to it, and the European machine immediately kicked into gear.
A rout that changes everything
Tuesday, 8:00 PM Eastern Time. Trump posted it on Truth Social with a single exclamation mark – and the entire Middle East froze. Pakistan’s field marshal lies sleepless through the night. Iran’s foreign minister keeps his phone clutched in his hand. Washington finalises its bombing plans. Diplomacy on the edge of the abyss – live.
An Ultimatum with a Deadline Shift
The British are inspecting Russian tankers. Belgian special forces, backed by French helicopters, board a Russian vessel in the North Sea. Moscow is formulating "appropriate measures." We've seen this before. Many times.

On Wednesday, Trump told the nation that the war was "close to ending." On Friday, he wrote that it might be a good idea to "take the oil and make a huge profit."

The Month That Changed Everything
Not a single drone shot down. Not a single interception carried out. Yet statements “denying involvement” appeared instantly, with the professional speed of press offices that had been preparing in advance. A coincidence? Mikhail Azhgirevich asks the uncomfortable questions.

At a meeting of the Prosecutor General's Office board, Putin speaks the right words: remove barriers, reduce pressure, let businesses work. The hall nods approvingly. The figures look impressive.
