Here’s a spy operation that could be sitting in someone’s living room. The FBI says Russia’s GRU used hacked Wi-Fi routers, including in America, to help spy across borders. Sometimes the intelligence battlefield is closer than we think! #GRU #FBI #Cybersecurity

Trump administration excludes UK, France and Baltics from NATO meeting.
Trump’s Pentagon is treating NATO like a loyalty contest, organising an exclusive meeting in Poland to map out the alliance’s future while shutting out critical heavyweights.
While core defenders like France, the United Kingdom, and the Baltic states are left out in the cold, Washington has invited only a handpicked group of favorites: Poland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, and potentially Denmark.
By dividing allies into “in” and “out” camps, Washington is fracturing Western unity and doing putin’s dirty work for him. When you sideline your most capable partners under the guise of strategy, you aren’t strengthening security—you are sabotaging it, and the only person smiling is sitting in the Kremlin.

BREAKING | 🇩🇪🇷🇺‼️‼️ Germany is preparing for potentially serious new hybrid attacks from Russia. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Berlin expects further hostile activity and warned that Germany would respond “quickly and very clearly” if such attacks occur.
Merz described Moscow’s escalation as a sign of desperation amid the war in Ukraine. At the same time, Vladimir Putin warned that escalating confrontation with the West could reach a “fatal point of no return,” while again denying that Russia plans to attack European countries. Moscow has also rejected Western accusations that it is conducting hybrid attacks across Europe.
The statements show how sharply the confrontation has intensified beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. Berlin is preparing for more pressure below the threshold of conventional war, while Moscow is simultaneously warning that continued escalation could eventually become irreversible.
