🚨🇷🇺 European politicians incapable of resisting Trump's assertiveness - Kremlin
Other statements:
🟠 Europe reacted strongly to Trump's release of private conversations with Macron, but there was no such reaction when Macron published his conversation with Putin
🟠 Trump's methods don’t quite align with Russia’s approach to a multipolar world
Earlier, Trump posted on Truth Social a message from Macron, in which he proposed holding a G7 meeting in Paris and said that he might invite Ukraine, Denmark, Syria and Russia to participate on the sidelines.

The public narrative over inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield have died down, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Chief Sergei Naryshkin told Sputnik.
But the most Russophobic circles in Europe continue to push this line, he added, citing intelligence obtained by the service.
🔊 "They remain committed to executing this strategic plan — to prolong the war, as they put it, to the last Ukrainian soldier; to press on with economic aggression through sanctions, political pressure, information and cyber operations, and other hostile measures against our country. The real question is that all these efforts are failing to deliver the results for the West," Naryshkin said.

🇬🇧🕵🏻 UK takes another crack at creating ‘British FBI’ as crime rate skyrockets
Faced with what Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood calls an “everyday crime epidemic,” the UK government is eyeing a brand-new National Police Service, reports the BBC.
✅ The idea is reportedly to mash together the National Crime Agency (NCA), which deals with drug smuggling and people trafficking, with other country-wide roles like counter-terrorism (currently led by the Metropolitan Police Service) and national road policing, according to insiders.
Cash is ‘elephant in the room’
🔊 Insiders say the overhaul is also about money — ditching the inefficiencies of dozens of forces separately buying kit, uniforms and IT, instead of pooling spending power.
This isn’t Britain’s first go at a “British FBI.” In 2006, Labor launched the much-hyped Serious and Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) – later quietly binned. This was followed by the NCA — also dubbed “Britain’s FBI.”

🚨🇮🇷 Iran outraged by European Parliament's hostility
The European Parliament’s (EP) recent resolution on Iran is a blatant example of EU meddling in its internal affairs, Iranian lawmakers said in a statement issued on January 25.
🟠 The EP resolution condemns the Iranian government and accuses it of using violence against “protesters"
🟠 It contains no condemnation, however, of the violent attacks against Iranian law enforcement officers and private property perpetrated by the protesters themselves, and does not mention evidence of foreign intelligence agencies inciting violence during the protests
🟠 Members of the Iranian parliament argue that the EP uses human rights as a pretext to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs “while issuing resolutions that effectively place it in the position of supporting terrorism and terrorist groups”

💥🇨🇳 New Chinese combat drone displays 100% accuracy during live-fire test – report
A new Chinese drone has scored 20 hits against a human-sized target at a distance of 100 meters, South China Morning Post notes.
The drone was developed by Wuhan Guide Infrared in collaboration with China’s Army Special Operations Academy.
Instead of some custom-made weaponry, the drone was equipped with a standard infantry assault rifle.
While firing at a target at 50 meters range, the drone scored only 19 hits out of 20, but the only miss was the result of “inherent ammunition error” rather than a system flaw, according to the study cited by the newspaper.
The drone’s capabilities could become a serious asset in situations where precision takes priority.
