Alles nur, weil Trump seine Umfragewerte mit einem kurzen MilitĂ€r-Quickie im Iran pushen wollte. Das jedoch löste eine destruktive Kettenreaktion sondergleichen aus, wie ein Elefant, nein, eine Atombombe im Porzellanladen. Diese Ăra wird in ein paar Jahren zumindest gute Serien auf Netflix oder HBO erzeugen, und man wird sich fragen, wie zum Teufel ein Mensch wie Trump je an die Macht kommen konnte.
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.
Trumpâs unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.
An AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll published Oct. 1 found that Americans disapprove of the presidentâs handling of the Iran war and blame him for higher prices.
The move to temporarily restrict the vital communications system came as President Donald Trump has pressured Kyiv to stop its attacks on Russian refineries, which he has blamed for the âsoaring energy prices that are denting his Republican Party‘s prospects in the November midterm elections.
But experts say that surge in energy costs is mainly the result of the US-Israeli war with Iran, which brought Iranian âattacks on energy facilities and has largely shut the vital Strait of Hormuz.
It comes as the president faces growing pressure to address concerns over mounting energy costs due to global fuel shortages during the U.S.âs military operations against Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war.
The European Commission, in fact, avoided commenting on the substance of the matter on Tuesday and referred to the work of the European External Action Service (EEAS) on foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI).
EU spokesperson Paula Pinho explained that the issue falls under the purview of the EEAS and stated that the Commission has no information of its own on this matter.
He said research by the European External Action Service (EEAS), the European Union‘s diplomatic service, indicated links with Israeli and Russian networks, but he gave no further details.
„It is evident that if Russia gets involved in spreading disinformation on this issue, or Israel also spreads disinformation on this issue, criticizing the Spanish government, it will not be because they are concerned about migration in Spain or Europe, but precisely because of the political positions we are taking â courageous ones, I believe â regarding the genocide in Gaza or Putin‘s invasion of Ukraine,“ SĂĄnchez said.
The EEAS did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment on the research cited by SĂĄnchez.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin both vowed to strengthen the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) during their meeting on Monday, as the two countries seek to deepen strategic coordination amid mounting tensions with Washington and its allies.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

ussian President Vladimir Putin will meet the leaders of China, India, Turkey and Iran at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek next week, his foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said in Moscow on Friday.
Ratcliffe hatte im MĂ€rz 2026 bereits ein TelefongesprĂ€ch mit dem Chef des russischen Auslandsnachrichtendienstes SWR, Sergei Naryschkin, gefĂŒhrt. Das war der erste Kontakt auf diesem Level seit ĂŒber zwei Jahren.
Ob es um die Ukraine, den Iran, Geheimdienstfragen oder einen möglichen Gefangenenaustausch geht, bleibt offen. Weder die CIA noch die Regierungen in Washington und Moskau kommentierten den Zweck.
CNN producers in the Ukrainian capital heard several explosions and saw smoke over the city, as an air raid alert stretched on for hours. Massive fires lit up the night sky over the capital, video by Reuters news agency showed.
Ukraine has been relatively successful at intercepting the massive numbers of drones that Russia uses in its large-scale attacks. But in recent weeks, Moscow has repeatedly exploited Kyivâs near-zero stocks of Patriot interceptor missiles, which are needed to defend against faster-moving ballistic missiles.
Wie Simplicius76 bereits am 7. Juli 2026 detailliert ausfĂŒhrte, produziert Lockheed Martin derzeit rund 650 PAC-3-Abfangraketen pro Jahr â fĂŒr die gesamte Welt. Das sind lĂ€cherliche 54 StĂŒck pro Monat. Die Ukraine allein brĂ€uchte ein Vielfaches davon, denn doktrinĂ€r werden pro anfliegender Rakete mindestens zwei, oft vier oder gar sechs Interceptoren abgefeuert.
(…)
Die Lieferkette fĂŒr eine einzelne PAC-3 umfasst ĂŒber 400 Zulieferbetriebe. Die Endmontage allein dauert sechs Wochen. Die Gesamtvorlaufzeit liegt bei mehr als zwei Jahren. Das ist kein Produktionssystem â das ist ein bĂŒrokratisches Monster, das fĂŒr einen kurzen, intensiven Konflikt völlig ungeeignet ist.
VerschÀrfend kommt hinzu: Die USA haben im MÀrz 2026 ihren eigenen Krieg gegen den Iran begonnen und brauchen ihre Patriot-BestÀnde nun selbst.

The meetings with Trump were expected to give both leaders a chance to push their agendas with the president at a time when U.S. policy towards Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war continues to be in flux.

Kyiv on Saturday launched an attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, an incident which Tehran said left one sailor dead and injured several others. The Islamic Republic has threatened retaliation over the strike, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying via social media that it âCANNOT GO UNANSWERED.â
In a post on X on Saturday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had âachieved very strong results with longârange strikes in the Caspian Sea â including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.â
At Trumpâs invitation, Netanyahu flew to Washington on Monday for the service, his office announced. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also plans to attend the Washington funeral, a White House official confirmed.
Both leaders are planning to meet with Trump during their respective visits.

The Iranian diplomat added that in calls with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kaja Kallas, the EUâs top foreign policy official, he âmade clear that what the freeloader in Kyiv did CANNOT GO UNANSWERED.â
The attack on the Iranian ship comes as Ukraine continues escalating its long-range drone attacks against Russia, which are carried out using intelligence provided by the US, and have been targeting Russian oil tankers and refineries, and have also been killing a significant number of civilians.
As the minister recalled, to provide the country with anti-ballistic missiles, in April the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense signed a record-breaking contract for hundreds of PAC-2 missiles for the Patriot system, with Germany‘s support. Deliveries will begin over the next few years.
A first step has also been taken toward purchasing about a hundred missiles for the Patriot system for $1 billion using an EU loan. This year, Ukraine also began receiving missiles from the stockpiles of its European partners for the first time.
The death toll from the Russian strike in Kyiv has risen, according to Head of Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko.
„The death toll from the Russian attack has risen to 23 people,“ Tkachenko said on his Telegram channel.
Previously, 21 deaths and 100 injuries had been reported.

Die FDP-Europaabgeordnete Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann hat den Einsatz von deutschen Bodentruppen zur Friedenssicherung in der Ukraine nicht kategorisch ausgeschlossen. „Die Frage wird sein, wenn es erforderlich ist, die Ukraine zu sichern: Reicht es, das mit AufrĂŒstung zu machen? Bedarf es anderer Schutztruppen?“, sagte sie im gemeinsamen Morgenmagazin von ARD und ZDF.
Am 28./29. Mai 2026 schlug eine Drohne in ein WohngebĂ€ude in GalaÈi ein, nahe der ukrainischen Grenze. Es gab Verletzte, aber keine Toten. Statt besonnener AufklĂ€rung folgte der ĂŒbliche Reflex: Sofortige Schuldzuweisung an Russland, Forderungen nach NATO-Artikel 4 oder gar 5 und diplomatische MaĂnahmen wie die SchlieĂung des russischen Konsulats in ConstanÈa. Der rumĂ€nische PrĂ€sident NicuÈor Dan hat nun jedoch unmissverstĂ€ndlich erklĂ€rt: Russland hatte keine Absicht, RumĂ€nien anzugreifen. Die Drohne war offenbar auf dem Weg zu einem ukrainischen Ziel (Hafen Reni) und wurde durch ukrainische elektronische KriegsfĂŒhrung abgelenkt.
Hier der Bericht dazu:

As some of you might already know, my name is HĂŒseyin DoÄru. I am a German citizen, a father of three, a journalist, and the founder of red., a now defunct English-language media outlet.
On 20 May 2025, I was placed on an EU sanctions list.
Not after a criminal conviction. Not after a trial. Not after a court had examined evidence against me.
I was placed on a list.
The reason given was not violence. It was not incitement. It was not a finding by any court. The reason was political: my journalism, my reporting on Gaza, and my coverage of Palestine solidarity protests in Germany were folded into the language of Russia, destabilisation, information manipulation and hybrid threats.
Alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie berichten auĂerhalb des NATO-/EU-Narrativs â sei es zur Ukraine, zu Gaza oder zur Energiepolitik.
Die Folgen fĂŒr die Betroffenen sind existentiell: Konten werden eingefroren, Zahlungen blockiert, Reisen innerhalb der EU unmöglich gemacht. Sogar Familienangehörige (wie die nicht sanktionierte Ehefrau von HĂŒseyin DoÄru) werden mit âSanktionsumgehungâ bedroht. DoÄru beschreibt seinen Zustand treffend: âOn an existential level, youâre reduced to zero.â Ein Vater von fĂŒnf Kindern kann nicht einmal mehr Windeln oder Medikamente kaufen, ohne dass Helfer Gefahr laufen, selbst strafrechtlich verfolgt zu werden.
Russian and Ukrainian forces continued limited offensive operations across the theater throughout the first day of the May 9 â 11 ceasefire.
