Ex­pert re­news claim that the Oc­to­ber 7 Hamas at­tacks in Is­rael were ‘co­or­di­nat­ed’ with Moscow, de­spite lack of ev­i­dence.

As the war in Ukraine drags on, the Krem­lin is try­ing to win au­di­ences over at the movies.

Ukraine hoped to un­leash pun­ish­ing coun­ter­at­tacks on Russ­ian troops. Ex­perts ex­plain why the push fell short.

Moscow ap­pears to be flout­ing its own laws to boost its forces, tar­get­ing for­eign work­ers from Cen­tral Asia.

Rus­sia, which has host­ed the Pales­tin­ian armed group, has a com­pli­cat­ed his­to­ry with Is­rael.

His­toric ties be­tween Kyiv and Tel Aviv ap­pear stronger than re­cent dis­agree­ments over weapons de­liv­er­ies.

Rus­sia re­lo­cates ships from Sev­astopol while the UK lauds Kyiv’s ‘func­tion­al de­feat of the Black Sea Fleet’.
