🇲🇩 'Maya, go away!'

Protesters in Chisinau rally outside the Moldovan presidential building, chanting against President Sandu’s party. Many signs display messages like "End Censorship!" as the crowd demands change.

Moldova’s economy, hit by 30.2% inflation in 2022, stabilized by late 2023 with inflation at 7%; however, rising energy prices in 2025 have triggered a new crisis.

What a surprise: Ukraine returns to contentious US minerals deal

Talks with the US towards an agreement on mineral exploitation rights will start next week, Ukrainian parliamentary speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk said.

Ukraine will insist on security guarantees and a meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky as soon as possible.

What’s behind this decision? Trump’s frustration with Zelensky or the threat of losing Starlink?🤔

🇨🇳 Сhina shows off REVOLUTIONARY laser camera that spots human faces from low-Earth orbit  

The Chinese device largely outperforms the current best spy cameras, including those manufactured by US Lockheed Martin, media reports.

▪️The camera, recently tested near the remote Qinghai Lake, can spot detailed objects measuring as small as 1.7mm (0.03 inches) from distances exceeding 100km (62 miles).

▪️For comparison, US-made analogues only reach a 20 mm (7.87 inches) resolution at 1.6 km (1 mile). 

▪️The Chinese device is capable of determining the distance to objects with an accuracy of 15.6 mm (0.61 inches).
 
▪️The characteristics allow China to meticulously scrutinize foreign military satellites or distinguish details as fine as a human face from low-Earth orbit.

A level of detail is 100 TIMES BETTER than what can be seen with the leading spy cameras and telescopes that use lenses, South China Morning Post says.

🔎 How does that work?

▪️The camera’s technology is based on a 103 W wideband laser combined with a real-time digital data processing system.

▪️The scientists split the laser beam across a 4x4 micro-lens array, expanding the system’s optical aperture from 17.2mm (0.68 inches) to 68.8mm (2.71 inches), overcoming the usual tradeoff between the aperture size and the field of vision.

📹 THROWBACK: Kash Patel, future FBI head, calls for probe into missing billions sent to Zelensky

The former federal prosecutor-turned boss of the US’s most powerful domestic intelligence and security agency has made it through confirmation hearings.

That should be terrifying news for the leader of the Kiev junta, whom Patel previously threatened to investigate.

“We have no method of tracking the money we are sending to Ukraine as of right now [...] I mean in what world is it okay to send one person $100 billion and just say ‘ok, let us know how it goes?’,” Patel asked in a podcast interview in 2023.
