Storm Shadow or Scalp, the missile that can strike in the heart of Russia (and scares Putin)
Kiev will be able to produce the Storm Shadow at home, the long-range cruise missile which in Paris is called Scalp. The green light came from London and Paris, while Donald Trump's authorization for the Ukrainian production of the Patriot remains pending. Launched from an aircraft in flight, capable of traveling at very low altitude to evade enemy defenses, it is the weapon with which Ukraine has already struck Russian strategic objectives. Here's how it works, who makes it and how it differs from other long-range carriers supplied or requested by Kiev.

Zelensky, 25 dead and 100 killed in latest Russian attack
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 25 people were killed and 100 injured in Russia's latest massive attack on Ukraine. "All day today we worked on clearing the rubble after a Russian missile attack in Pryluky (Chernihiv region)," the leader of Kiev wrote on Telegram, "it was a Kh-101 missile that directly hit a residential building." "19 people lost their lives, including five small children," Zelensky reported, expressing condolences to the families of the victims. “The overall death toll from this massive attack on Ukraine is 25 dead and 100 injured,” he added, “It was a combined attack involving numerous ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as Shahed drones.” Later in the day, "further attacks with Shahed drones and aerial bombs occurred", concluded the Ukrainian president, who once again asked international leaders not to remain silent and to convince themselves that "Russia intends to continue on this path: of escalation, killings and bombings". “This is a problem not only for Ukraine, but for everyone in Europe and the Western world.”
Trump considers firing political advisors for working with pro-Russian government
Donald Trump has distanced himself and is considering firing two senior political advisers after news of their work for a pro-Russian government emerged. "Chris LaCivita and James Blair are outside consultants. They do not work for me except as outside consultants," the US president wrote in Truth. "It is very likely that they have numerous clients, but for this you should ask them. They are free to work for others, just like all the consultants in Washington, DC. I have no idea who else they work for, but - on reflection - I will ask them for information on the matter and, if there is a conflict of interest, I will immediately terminate the relationship with them!", added the tycoon. His stance came after the New York Times published an article describing how James Blair, the president's former deputy chief of staff and current head of his external political operations, and Chris LaCivita, co-head of Trump's 2024 campaign, traveled to the Balkans last week on a paid assignment for a pro-Russian government. Trump, engaged in the electoral campaign in support of the Republicans in view of the midterms, has made it clear that he has no involvement in the profitable activities carried out by his advisors outside the United States. According to the NYT, Blair and LaCivita traveled to Republika Srpska, an entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, in view of Sunday's elections: the two "received hundreds of thousands of dollars each through a law firm based in Washington, appointed by the government of Republika Srpska to provide consultancy on electoral issues". Blair currently heads Maga Inc, Trump's super Pac, and has been tasked with guiding the president's strategy for the midterms, while LaCivita holds the role of senior advisor at the same organization.
Zelensky: "Today 25 victims in Ukraine, 5 children killed"
"Today, throughout the day, work continued on clearing rubble after the Russian missile attack on Pryluky. It was a Kh-101 missile, which directly hit a building. Unfortunately, 19 people died, including five small children. In total, the number of victims as a result of this massive attack on Ukraine is 25 people. One hundred people were injured." This is the evening budget of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on social media. “It is crucial that leaders do not remain silent in the face of what has happened because Russia intends to continue towards escalation, towards killing.”
Trump: "We don't believe that plague is a bacteriological weapon"
US President Donald Trump has said he excludes the possibility that the plague outbreak in Russia is linked to a bacteriological weapon. “We don't believe, we'll find out soon but we don't believe,” Trump told reporters at the White House, “the Russians say it's very much under control.” The US president admitted that "Russia is not saying much" in the same way that "China wasn't saying much" in the times of Covid-19.

Mamdani: "Suffering did not begin 7/10 and continued with Gaza genocide"
''This day is deeply painful for many New Yorkers. It is the third anniversary of the horrific war crimes of October 7th. That day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapped 251 others. We join in the pain of our many friends and neighbors who still bear the burden of that unimaginable loss''. Thus the mayor of New York Zohran Kwame Mamdani on 'X', where he underlines: ''the suffering did not begin, nor end that day.
