Anna Akhmatova: Courage

We know what trembles in the scales,
What has to be accomplished.
The hour for courage. If all else fails,
With courage we are not unfurnished.
What though the dead be crowded, each to each,
What though our houses be destroyed? —
We will preserve you, Russian speech,
Keep you alive, great Russian word.
We will pass you to our sons and heirs
Free and clean, and they in turn to theirs,
        And so forever.

Just how much damage did Ukraine do in its ‘Spiderweb’ drone attack on Russia?

Just how much damage did Ukraine do in its ‘Spiderweb’ drone attack on Russia?

With the help of military experts, NBC News has analyzed satellite images taken by independent companies such as Planet Labs and Maxar, and determined that at least 10 planes were destroyed.

That concurs with an assessment by NATO.

The Western alliance agrees with Ukraine that around 40 aircraft were damaged, but says that only “10 to 13 aircraft were completely destroyed,” according to a senior NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity to journalists at the margins of a Thursday meeting of defense ministers in Brussels.

The United States Embassy in Kampala, Uganda is actively involved in Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) activities targeting audiences in East Africa. This was the verdict of selected journalists who took part in a secret program it organised in Kampala last week, ostensibly to train them on countering what it terms ‘Russian propaganda and disinformation.’ The clandestine program – where participants were electronically surveiled to ensure they recorded nothing – took place between Monday 19 May and Friday 23 May, 2025 under the theme “Understanding and Countering Russian Propaganda and Disinformation in Uganda.”
