A Russian Defector’s Killing Raises Spectre of Hit Squads
Maksim Kuzminov, a Russian defector to Ukraine, was assassinated in Villajoyosa, Spain, in a manner that sent a clear message of intimidation. He had defected by flying a military helicopter into Ukraine, providing secret documents to Ukrainian intelligence. His killing has raised concerns about the continued operation of Russian spy networks in Europe. Spanish police and the Guardia Civil are investigating the professional hit, which involved the use of a Makarov pistol, commonly associated with former Communist bloc countries. The assassination is reminiscent of other attacks linked to the Kremlin, and while direct evidence of Kremlin involvement is lacking, Russian officials have publicly expressed a desire for Kuzminov's death. The incident may deter other potential Russian defectors due to the fear of retribution.

Israel’s limited strike on Iran appears designed to avoid escalation
Israel conducted a limited strike on Iran, aiming to avoid escalation amid rising tensions following an Israeli attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria and Iran's subsequent missile and drone attack on Israel. Both nations appear to be de-escalating, with Iran downplaying the strike and Israel remaining tight-lipped. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indicated Iran's desire to avoid further conflict. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed no damage to Iranian nuclear sites. Israel informed the U.S. in advance, and the G-7's diplomatic efforts influenced the restrained nature of the strike.

Persistent rumor of Putin’s death elicits nonchalant international response
Rumors about Russian President Vladimir Putin's death have circulated for months, originating from a Russian Telegram channel. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the rumors have prompted international media coverage and speculation. Western intelligence sources doubt the veracity of these claims, citing the difficulty of verifying information about Putin due to security measures. Officials like Eeva Eek-Pajuste from Estonia and Yuriy Sak from Ukraine argue that Putin's potential death would not significantly change Russia's political landscape, as his legacy and the broader Russian system would persist. The Kremlin has dismissed the rumors as disinformation, reflecting the complex nature of truth and propaganda in Russia.

Putin has been conspicuously silent about Syria since the collapse of Assad's rule
Vladimir Putin has remained silent on Syria following the overthrow of Bashar Assad by rebels, which threatens Russia's military presence and exposes its vulnerabilities. Analysts suggest this silence may be due to the potential scrutiny of Russia's capabilities and the need to focus on successes in Ukraine. The fall of Assad's regime is seen as a sign of Russia's weakened influence, with implications for its global military footprint. While some analysts believe Russia may negotiate to retain military assets in Syria, others predict a shift in alliances away from Moscow. Putin's focus on Ukraine highlights the need for a strategic victory to bolster Russia's reputation.
