Russian Parliament to Debate Confiscating Property of Army Critics

Russia is set to debate a bill that would allow the confiscation of money, property, and valuables from individuals convicted of spreading "fakes" about its army, with the support of major parliamentary factions. This move comes after Moscow made criticism of the military illegal following its assault on Ukraine, and aims to punish those who "pour mud" on the country, soldiers, and officers involved in the special military operation. The charge of spreading "false information" about the army already carries a maximum jail sentence of up to 15 years, and has been used to stifle dissent.

"Ukraine and US Allege Russia's Use of North Korean Missiles in Kharkiv Attacks"

Ukrainian officials in the Kharkiv region have presented evidence suggesting that Russia used missiles supplied by North Korea in an attack on the city of Kharkiv. The missiles, which were used for the first time since the invasion began, appear to be technically and visually different from the standard Russian Iskander missiles, with a larger diameter and distinct features in the nozzle, electrical windings, and rear parts. The attack resulted in two deaths and over 60 injuries. North Korea is under a U.N. arms embargo, and U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibit trading military equipment with the country.

"Repeated Russian Tank Assaults Fail Amidst Ukrainian Resistance and 'Carnage' in Eastern Ukraine"

Russian forces have made at least seven unsuccessful attempts to assault a Ukrainian forest in Kharkiv Oblast, with the latest attack captured in drone footage showing their armored column being decimated. Despite repeated failures and heavy losses, Russian units from the 25th and 138th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigades continue to engage Ukrainian defenders from the 14th and 30th Mechanized Brigades. The Ukrainian forces have consistently repelled these assaults, which are part of a broader pattern of frequent, often futile Russian attacks along the front line, including in areas like Avdiivka and Bakhmut.

A senior Kyiv official has claimed that Russia used North Korean-supplied missiles against Ukraine for the first time, a statement supported by earlier comments from the White House.

The U.S. has declassified intelligence suggesting the use of North Korean short-range ballistic missiles with a range of about 900 km. North Korea is under a U.N. arms embargo, and both Russia and North Korea have previously denied arms trade allegations, despite vowing to deepen military relations.
