Russia has imposed flight restrictions in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, over 1,800 km (1,118 miles) from Ukraine, due to drone threats.
The region is also home to 40% of Russia’s crude production, and the threats suggest a shift in how Kyiv is hitting Moscow where it hurts.

Benjamin Netanyahu sent a warning letter ahead of a libel suit against Haaretz and journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval over a report he received a warning from UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed about a major Hamas operation before the October 7 attack.
Haaretz stands by its reporting.

🇮🇱🇦🇪 Netanyahu is suing Haaretz and the journalist behind the claim he was warned by the UAE before October 7 and did nothing.
He says the whole thing is “a malicious fabrication,” and that checks of his calls and official records found no such contact in the weeks before the attack.
He’s also dismissing a separate claim that Egypt warned him, saying that story was debunked long ago.
He’s flipping the blame back onto the former Shin Bet and IDF chiefs, arguing they saw the warning signs in the hours before October 7 and failed to get them to him in time.
Every version of that morning still ends the same way. Only who’s to blame keeps changing.

🇩🇪 Germany’s Chancellor Merz:
Nobody threatened Russia. Not NATO. Not the European Union. Not Germany.
Ladies and gentlemen, the only thing that truly threatens Russia and Putin is the radiance of democracy.
Ukraine was on its way into the European democratic family, and that is precisely the real danger to Putin’s regime in Russia.
And you in the AfD know that this is the case.

Israel: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will sue Haaretz, journalist Shlomi Eldar and others for defamation over a report claiming UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned him 10 days before October 7. Netanyahu said official records show no such call occurred and also denied receiving an Egyptian warning. U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul previously said Egypt had warned Israel three days before the attack that “an event like this could happen.”

🇩🇪🇺🇦 The German foreign minister just slammed Kyiv for not spending aid cash on German munitions.
He said, “We’re now the strongest supporter of Ukraine; naturally the German defense industry must benefit from this.
We stand by you, we support you. But I also have to explain this to German taxpayers.”
Translation: We’ve spent billions on you and have nothing to show for it after years of war.
