    Kyiv under bombardment from new Russian jet drones as winter approaches (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It was a quiet, sad Saturday afternoon in the Baikove cemetery in the centre of Kyiv. Mourners exchanged tearful hugs, then gathered around a plastic table set with food and drinks to mourn yet another fallen soldier. The sombre silence was broken by a loud explosion. A cloud of smoke appeared in the sky, temporarily marking the spot where a Russian drone had been shot down by Ukrainian air defences. Moments of calm are few and far between in Kyiv these days, amid fears that something much worse

    In the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, drones rule the skies and everything below (opens the original)

    A heavy rain began just as we started our journey toward the latest front line in the war for Ukraine. “Perfectly bad weather,” our driver said with a smile. The downpour, and a forecast of thunderstorms later in the day, would be unwelcome news in much of the world. In eastern Ukraine, though, it means the drones that now dominate the skies over this country would struggle to stay aloft, with the high winds and lashing rain also making it harder for them to track targets.

    Did the Leipzig incident bring Russia and NATO closer to all-out war? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Even in a summer of heightened tensions between Russia and the West, the Aug. 4 incident at Germany’s Leipzig/Halle Airport stuck out. A military-style drone was found on a runway that night, not far from a cargo plane owned by the Ukrainian government. The drone was armed with explosives that had failed to detonate, but another bomb-laden drone was later discovered nearby. It’s not hard to imagine what could have happened if the drones had struck a civilian aircraft. It took almost a month for

    CIA director’s visit to Moscow signals real concern in intelligence circles Putin might widen war (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    At first glance, it seems far-fetched: Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose army is already bogged down in Ukraine, is contemplating a direct assault on NATO. The possibility is considered real enough, at least in U.S. intelligence circles, that CIA director John Ratcliffe rushed to Moscow this week for an almost-secret, face-to-face meeting with his top Russian counterparts. It was the first such trip by a senior U.S. official (not counting visits by President Donald Trump’s personal envoys,

    Five years after Kabul’s fall, Afghan women face a darker reality (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For the first four years that the Taliban were back in power in Afghanistan, Mahbouba Seraj did whatever she could to keep her shelter for abused women open. But seven months ago, the 34 women and girls under Ms. Seraj’s protection – ranging from newborns to women in their 80s – were roughly shoved onto buses and driven away anyway. Ms. Seraj, who, at 78, is considered the godmother of the women’s rights movement in Afghanistan, says her shelter was a victim both of the Taliban’s violent misogyn
