Red Cross, United Nations are incompetent not commenting on the Russian atrocities. The international community outcries the executions. Geneva, Switzerland (23/1- 80). In 2024 alone, Ukrainian authorities confirmed the execution of at least 109 Ukrainian POWs by Russian forces.

It highlights not only the fear of legal consequences but also the personal risk she faces in a society where these practices are being cracked down on. Caught between traditional Islamic belief and Tajik culture the…

The US treaty ally is spending billions to arm itself for a conflict over Taiwan or the South China Sea it hopes will never comeIn the heart of Manila, where noise and chaos reign supreme, the American Cemetery and Memorial is an oasis of stillness. More than 50,000 fallen troops are honoured at the site – some with white marble headstones, but most as names etched into the Walls of the Missing, their remains never recovered. All but a handful were American soldiers. The cemetery does not commemorate the estimated 1 million Filipinos who also died in the Pacific War…

The European Union’s approach to tackling Foreign Influence and Manipulation Interference (FIMI) highlights the serious attention placed on combating disinformation, particularly in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and broader geopolitical tensions. The European External Action Service (EEAS) reports that, between December 2022 and November 2023, it detected and documented 750 instances of foreign information manipulation and interference. This equates to approximately two false narratives being propagated every day, underscoring the scale and frequency of disinformation activities that need to be addressed. The contrast with U.S. efforts is evident, as the U.S. has been criticized for having a less effective…
