In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Poland has accused Russia of a deliberate incursion after more than a dozen drones breached Polish airspace on Wednesday. The incident, described as the most serious of its kind since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, has prompted a swift response from Nato allies. Denmark, France, and Germany have pledged military support, including fighter jets and warships, to strengthen the alliance’s eastern flank. Other Nato members are expected to follow suit in the coming days.

As Russian army inches closer, Ukrainians must decide to stay or go

The town, once home to 16,000 residents, now lies in ruins, with only an estimated 700 inhabitants remaining. The White Angels’ armored van, equipped with a steel cage and drone-jamming technology, offers scant protection against the ever-present threat of Russian drones. Despite the dangers, the team presses on, navigating shattered streets and burned-out homes to rescue those willing to leave.

This ‘tough guy’ president says he’s tackling corruption. Rivals say he’s silencing opposition
On April 23, 2025, Istanbul was struck by a 6.2 magnitude earthquake, causing panic and injuries but no fatalities. Amid the chaos, Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a prominent opposition figure, was unable to assist his city. Instead, he was incarcerated in Silivri Prison, accused of corruption charges he vehemently denies. His supporters argue that his imprisonment is politically motivated, aimed at neutralizing his potential challenge to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the 2028 elections. Imamoglu’s arrest has sparked widespread protests, particularly among the youth, who view it as an assault on democracy. Erdogan’s government has responded with a heavy-handed crackdown, detaining over 2,000 protesters and journalists. Critics accuse Erdogan of transforming Turkey into an autocracy, leveraging his geopolitical influence to avoid international scrutiny. Despite the turmoil, Erdogan remains a dominant figure, with a loyal base that credits him for economic development and the promotion of Islam in a secular republic. However, the erosion of democratic principles under his leadership has raised concerns about the future of Turkish democracy.
