There is strong evidence that a space surveillance complex in Russia’s northern Caucasus is being outfitted with a new laser system called Kalina that will target optical systems of foreign imaging satellites flying over Russian territory. Initiated in 2011, the project has suffered numerous delays, but recent Google Earth imagery shows that construction is now well underway. Kalina will complement a mobile laser dazzler known as Peresvet that has been operational since late 2019.
If NATO does not seize its historic opportunity to stop Vladimir Putin in his tracks, it will face war on its own territory, long-time Kremlin opponent Mikhail Khodorkovsky has told Euronews.

En una fotografía del suburbio kievita de Bucha (Ucrania), una mujer está de pie en el patio de una casa, cubriéndose la boca con la mano en señal de horror frente a los cuerpos de tres civiles muertos esparcidos en el piso. Cuando Aset Chad vio esa foto, empezó a temblar y retrocedió 22 años en el tiempo.
ENG:
Mariupol has been surrounded since the fifth day of the war. All the elite units of the Russian Federation were sent to storm the city. And for more than a month, our guys, two heroes of Ukraine – the commander of the Azov regiment and the commander of the 36th Marine Brigade, the National Guard – have been heroically holding the defense of Mariupol.
Lyudmila Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament's Commissioner for Human Rights, alleged on Friday that Russian soldiers have raped children during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Sunday that the killing of nearly 300 inhabitants of Bucha and other towns outside Kyiv was a genocide and should be punished as such, with everyone responsible in any capacity being brought before an international tribunal. He also called on the European Union to respond to Russian crimes by imposing radical and effective sanctions.
As towns of Bucha and Irpin were retaken from withdrawing Russian forces, horrific photos and videos began to flow in.
Ruined houses, burned-down cars, and bodies of civilians scattered around the streets.
Two weeks have now passed since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked and bloody invasion of Ukraine, killing scores of civilians and most recently attacking a maternity hospital in the besieged port city of Mariupol.
